Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where And How You Can Work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but we engage our Contractors all over the world to help us meet our crazy big goals. As a Contractor at Canva you can work remotely in from anywhere in Mexico, meaning you have ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.

Please note, this is a 6-month contract of full-time hours, but you’ll need to balance your schedule to accommodate occasional global team meetings from time to time.

What You’d Be Doing In This Role

We’re looking for a Creative Lead to help shape how Canva shows up in Mexico, leading our strategy across performance and brand.

On the performance side, you’ll drive our work on TikTok, Meta, YouTube, and Pinterest, uncovering insights, analyzing what’s working, and developing new concepts and creative directions. You’ll also help shape how Canva shows up more broadly in Mexico, guiding strategy for product launches, partnerships, and brand moments that matter.

You’ll work closely with our Creative Director and marketing leadership to build the strategic foundation for our campaigns, and collaborate day-to-day with a talented team of designers, motion artists, and editors to bring bold, thoughtful, effective ideas to life.

This is a role for someone who is just as obsessed with creativity as they are with data and knows how to use both to create work that connects and campaigns that people want to watch.
