Hello, 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.
Where and how you can work
Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a campus in Austin, Texas which is now home to our US operations. We are in office Tuesday-Thursday with the option to work remote or in office on Mondays and Fridays.
What you’d be doing in this role
As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. This will give you a flavor of what you’ll work on — and it will evolve as you grow.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
Collaborate closely with Sales teams to identify and pursue strategic opportunities within Higher Education institutions (universities, colleges, and academic systems)
Build pipeline through outbound strategies like cold calling, emailing, and social selling — connecting with stakeholders such as faculty, marketing teams, and campus leadership
