Job Description
Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hello, 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 office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under to offices across the globe — including our London hub, which is home to our European operations. This is a hybrid role in London.
About the Group
You'll be joining the International Supergroup. Our mission is to make Canva truly local at scale: building products, experiences, and content that resonate deeply in every market we operate in.
This role sits at the heart of how we bring that mission to life through content. We work hand-in-hand with the Content & Discovery Supergroup to ensure international markets aren't an afterthought they're built in from the start.
About the Role
We're looking for a Program Manager to partner with Canva's International Content Lead, the person responsible for content strategy and direction across the Supergroup, and manage the delivery of this strategy from idea to impact across all regions within International.
You'll be the operational engine behind the supergroup-wide content function: keeping regional leads connected to each other and to the centre, building the processes and comms rhythms that let a globally distributed content specialty move like one team, and making sure the International Content Lead can focus on the strategic work that matters most.
You'll also be the bridge to the Content & Discovery Supergroup, making sure international isn't an afterthought in how central content is planned and delivered.
What you'd be doing in this role
Supporting the International Content Lead: You'll be a key support to the Content Lead across the full scope of their responsibilities, from budget management and headcount planning, to goal setting, planning cycles, and performance reporting.
Keeping everyone connected: The International Content Lead oversees Regional Content Leads. You'll own the internal comms and rhythms that keep this group functioning as one: shared updates, cross-regional forums, consistent ways of working, and a clear line of sight between what's happening in the regions and what the Content Lead needs to know.
Drive delivery of content at scale: Partner with the International Content Lead and Regional Content Leads to coordinate content initiatives across all international markets. Own the connective tissue between regional execution and central strategy, translating direction into actionable plans that land across every region.
Process Improvement: Identify where our processes are slowing us down and collaborate with the teams delivering the work to improve them.
Reporting: Stand up regular reporting on campaign performance, content production health, and market growth signals. Make data easy to act on for both international and Content & Discovery leadership.
Cross-supergroup collaboration: Be the connective layer between the International Supergroup and Content & Discovery. Own the working relationship, keep shared initiatives on track, and make sure neither team is duplicating effort or working at cross-purposes. Facilitate alignment across Craft Leads, Regional Content Leads, and Production teams.
Step up across the supergroup: From time to time, you'll be called on to lead or support broader programs of work across the International Supergroup that go beyond content. You're comfortable with ambiguity, quick to context-switch, and ready to add value wherever the team needs it most.
You're probably a match if you have
5+ years in program or project management, content operations, or a cross-functional coordination role — ideally in a high-growth tech, media, or creative environment.
Experience working across design, creative, or marketing functions.
Experience supporting senior leaders across planning, budgeting, and hiring — you know how to make a leader's priorities visible and executable.
A track record of building shared processes across distributed or global teams
Strong stakeholder skills: you can build trust quickly across multiple layers of a team, manage up and sideways, and keep people aligned without needing to own every decision.
You're energised by making others more effective, and empowering others to do their best work.
As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This'll give you the flavour of what you'll be working on — but it'll evolve as we do.
