Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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 headquarters is in sunny Sydney, Australia, but our team spans the globe. Since we don’t have a physical campus in Brazil, this role is fully remote—giving you the flexibility to do your best work from wherever you thrive.

What you’d be doing in this role

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This role is focused on:

• Strategy: Act as the main leadership point of contact with responsibility for overall user and revenue growth in Brazil. You'll bring together local and global teams across marketing, sales, product, content, and finance to create and execute a cohesive multi-year growth strategy, and own the KPIs including MAUs and ARR.
• Localisation: Work closely with the regional team to optimise our product, content, pricing, and packaging to meet the needs of local users, informed by a deep understanding of local market dynamics and cultural nuances across a range of audiences, including knowledge workers, SMBs, students, startup ecosystems, NGOs, and other emerging sectors.
• Leadership: Hire, inspire, drive, and coach the in-market team, ensuring a high quality bar for impact and working closely with local specialty leads on performance management.
• Budget: Partner closely with the regional team and marketing lead to shape the marketing strategy and deployment of budget.
• Sponsorship: Build and support high value relationships by acting as a local sponsor for enterprise sales, education, government, partnerships, etc.
• Public face: Represent Canva as a local figurehead across press, PR, events, and community.

You're probably a match if

• You are strongly entrepreneurial, with a founder-style appetite for growing something big from a small start.
• You possess experience growing a market, such as being the regional GM or brand lead for a global SaaS company, or as a proven founder or growth lead in a startup in a high growth environment.
• You are a proven leader with the ability to grow, inspire, and coach high-performing teams, possessing high emotional intelligence and empathy.
• You are a strong communicator, fully proficient in spoken and written English, with the interpersonal skills to influence global and local stakeholders.
• You are keenly analytical, focused on KPIs, and obsessive about driving actionable insights from disparate datasets.
• You are product oriented, with a passion for improving user experiences and the ability to translate local insights into product requirements.
• You are values aligned, genuinely excited by Canva’s mission and deeply aligned with our values.
• You are publicity savvy, with experience in public speaking and acting as a public face to the press and other stakeholders.
• You are well networked, ideally with routes into government departments, corporates, influencers, journalists, and local talent.
