Job Description

Canva’s Commitment and Mission At Canva, we celebrate diversity. We deeply believe that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key to building the best product, team and company. We look for many different skills and abilities, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. So, even if you don’t think you quite meet all of the skills listed or tick all the boxes, we’d still love to hear from you!  Our mission at Canva is to empower the world to design and since launching in 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 86 million monthly active users across 190 different countries and a team of over 3,000 people… and the best bit is that we’ve only achieved 1% of what we know we’re capable of.  Join us and design your future. About the Product Design team One of the principles of our design team is to ‘show the future’. As designers we transport the rest of the company into a future we’re yet to build. A big part of the role of a product designer at Canva is to be a visionary—visualising and reinventing the future of design.  Product designers at Canva take the dream and make it something everyone can relate to and rally behind. We start from the very early stages: finding the right problem to tackle, exploring ideas for how to solve it and then refining it into a coherent solution. Our product designers carry out research, brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, and collaboration with our engineers to ship great products.  We are empathetic user advocates and respect our users’ opinions through interviews, usability testing, and data analysis, as well as wireframing, flowcharting, and journey mapping to show the different stages that customers go through as they come into contact with Canva. About the group you’ll be joining  The Teams & Education supergroup is on a mission to inspire everyone to create and collaborate together. Canva’s subscription products including Pro, Teams, Education and Nonprofits are product-led from within the Teams & Education supergroup, as well as all the core team product experiences such as content management and collaboration. 2022 is the year of the Teams Dream at Canva, with a huge focus on winning teams after seeing huge success for teams growth in 2021.  Within the Teams & Education supergroup is the Design Productivity group. The Design Productivity group is on a mission to power up design workflows to help everyone from kindergarten to the workplace grow and scale. This means empowering teams, workplaces, and classrooms to use Canva in new and exciting ways to achieve their goals - whether that’s creating a brand from scratch, launching their first website, scheduling content to social media, or generating hundreds of high-quality designs in a just a couple of clicks.  So far we’ve launched a range of capabilities to scale design needs but this is just the beginning of our journey. As the Product Design Lead joining the Design Productivity group, you will help us drive towards making Canva a household name.
