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, Australia, but with many of our Canvanauts calling the Philippines home, our office in Manila is a buzzing place. Whether your role needs you in the office, at home or a bit of both, we've created an environment that truly empowers you to thrive.

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. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

About the Product Advocates team

Growing our adoption and expansion in teams & businesses of all sizes is a core company strategy at Canva. We are doubling down on our premium and new product initiatives for businesses, and building a cross-functional Go-To-Market (GTM) engine consisting of Product, Growth, Marketing, Sales and Data.

A key pillar of this GTM engine and one of Canva’s big bets in 2022, is our Product-led Sales motion, a data & product-led customer acquisition strategy that complements our successful self-serve strategy.

The Product Advocates team is a core component of this motion as it bridges the gap between self-serve and the strategic sales team by offering a layer of low-touch human support to customers. The goal of the team is to assist paid teams in small and medium businesses to onboard and rapidly experience success on Canva, through a combination of low-touch conversion tactics, such as in-product chat, demos & webinars.

To help us fulfill this vision, we are looking for a Lead who’ll help oversee and manage a team of Manila-based Product Advocates, partnering closely with the Head of Product Advocates based in Sydney. Based in Manila, this will be the on-the-ground role ensuring the group is successfully set up to scale our Product-led Sales motion and ultimately deliver on our bold growth goals. This role will also closely collaborate with our Customer Happiness Team, Product and Marketing functions.
