Job Description

Join The Team Redefining How The World Experiences Design

Where And How You Can Work

This role is based in Berlin, with a hybrid working arrangement. Our Berlin hub is a place for collaboration and creative energy and we want you close enough to the German market to genuinely feel it. You'll have the flexibility to work in a way that suits you, with meaningful time in the office to connect with the team.

About The Role

As the Creative Strategist for Germany, you'll be the creative performance engine behind Canva's paid and organic marketing in the region — working at the intersection of data, storytelling, and cultural nuance to drive real user growth. This is a hands‑on, insight‑led role where local knowledge, analytical curiosity, and creative excellence drive outcomes. You won't manage a direct team, but you'll have real influence — over creative direction, agency partners, and the cross‑functional teams who help bring ideas to life.

What You'll Do

• Lead the creative flywheel — own the full creative cycle (research, briefing, production, editing, and analysis), driving sprint cycles with regional and global teams and developing testable ideas grounded in user insights
• Analyse and optimise performance — dig into dashboards to spot winners, diagnose underperformance, and design creative tests, lift studies, and attribution experiments in close partnership with analytics teams
• Lead organic and paid social creative strategy — define what high‑performing creative looks like for German audiences across Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and emerging platforms, building content systems informed by performance data and local cultural moments
• Own UGC, localisation, and market insight — brief and review creator content to ensure it's on‑brand and platform‑optimised, and bring genuine cultural fluency to every project
• Work with in‑house and agency teams — bridge external creative partners and internal stakeholders, working with media buyers, data science, the Europe Growth Marketing Lead, and agency partners across Brand, Product Growth, and Analytics
• Support conversion across the funnel — contribute to CRO initiatives to make acquisition journeys seamless, engaging, and high‑converting

What We’re Looking For

You bring real, hands‑on experience in creative strategy or performance marketing and you know what it takes to build creative that actually performs. You understand platform‑native formats deeply, you're rigorous about testing, and you use data to sharpen your thinking rather than replace it. You have genuine knowledge of the German market — not surface‑level familiarity — and you move comfortably between global teams, agency partners, and local execution. You're self‑directed, collaborative, and you take ownership of outcomes.

You're Probably a Match If

• You have extensive experience in growth marketing with a focus on creative strategy across paid and organic social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram)
• You have a strong eye for platform‑native creative and the frameworks to test, learn, and scale it
• You're confident using performance dashboards, data tools, and measurement frameworks (including MMM and attribution) to drive decisions
• You have genuine, deep knowledge of the German market and are fluent in German and English — additional languages are a bonus
• You have strong experience briefing and iterating creative in cross‑functional sprints
• You have a growth mindset — analytical, curious, and comfortable with ambiguity

About The Group/Team

Our Europe Marketing Group drives market‑specific growth across performance marketing, brand, social, community engagement, and more. We work at the intersection of creativity and data, combining global thinking with genuine local understanding to drive meaningful outcomes in our priority markets. We grow through experimentation, creative excellence, and a deep belief that getting the creative right is the fastest path to sustainable growth.

What's in It for You

• Equity packages — so you share in Canva's success
• Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
• An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
• Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
