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.

About The Role

This is a unique opportunity to have a significant impact on Canva’s scalability and long-term sustainability, as part of our mission to empower the world to design. Delivering a fully-featured product experience for every single user requires an ongoing focus on the value we provide to these users, and constantly ensuring that we’re committing our resources to maximising that value.

It requires a deep business and product understanding to connect product value with ongoing costs, and to champion a culture of thoughtful optimisation.

You’ll partner with product managers and engineering leaders across the business to deeply understand how various product features and capabilities scale with usage, and ensure that we’re delivering maximum value with the new products and features we launch and support, both for our users and for the company.
