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 flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Austin, Texas and San Francisco, California. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.
About The Group
We are building a team of A-player sellers focused on creating value for our customers. The value we create with Canva Enterprise in the content and design lifecycle is massive. Our cross-functional team is global and well rounded, and supports a business that is multi-faceted. With over 260M monthly active users who love to use Canva, we are lucky to have a nearly unlimited pipeline of opportunities.

And we’re supported by a talented team of product marketers and enablement professionals who partner with us to ensure we’re equipped to win. In short, this team is built for and ready to scale.
About The Role
SMB and Mid Market are Canva's highest-PMF segments. There are thousands of US businesses still stuck on inferior products, and we've just started building the tools to serve them at scale. We’re building Canva Grow, which is custom built for SMB and Mid Market companies. The market is waiting.
You'll be the person who builds the team and motion to capture it.
