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.

• 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.
• 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 a regional GM or brand lead for a global SaaS company, or as a proven founder or growth lead in a startup.
• You are a proven leader, able to inspire and coach high-performing teams.
• You are a strong communicator, fully proficient in spoken and written English, with the interpersonal skills to influence stakeholders.
• You are keenly analytical, focused on KPIs and driving actionable insights from datasets.
• You are product-oriented, passionate about improving user experience and translating local insights into product requirements.
• You are values aligned, excited by Canva’s mission and deeply aligned with our values.
