Council of the City of Sydney, Australia Canva Full time

About Content Design

Canva is on a mission to democratise design through the localisation of our products -- and one of the ways we're doing that is by making sure we have a library full of high-quality, market-bespoke contents for all of our key markets. It's not enough just to have content that is translated from English, we want to be sure that all users have access to content that reflects the design aesthetics and trends in their market.

Working closely with copywriters, illustrators, market growth specialists and localisation specialists, you'll be overseeing the end-to-end production rollout of the content library for this specific market.

Our template library needs a range of fresh, varied, and beautiful designs - so we're after self-motivated designers who would love to have room for creative freedom in answering briefs.

About the Role

We're interested in engaging a Creative Lead based in Sydney on a full-time permanent position where you'll be creating a multitude of Canva assets including logos, posters, videos, presentations, Instagram stories, social media content (video and static), book covers, banners (video and static) and editorial content.

What you'll do

  • Direct design on key template projects across the locale-specific projects
  • Work closely with a vibrant and friendly creative studio, directing design, photography and illustration. This is an opportunity to deliver a wide variety of creative campaigns, with freedom to influence design direction, and the chance to create elegant, on-trend designs every day.
  • Build our internal team to meet partner needs whilst inspiring and developing our talented freelancers to create high-quality print designs.
  • Work with the Studio Manager and manage your team in order to execute jobs successfully on deadline and to brief
  • Brief a design team to create beautiful and usable animated and static templates
  • Brief and manage the asset creation process with our internal and external sources of imagery, music tracks, video footage, stickers, and animations – so that we have the best assets to work with
  • Provide design feedback to team members with sensitivity and honesty, helping them to grow and develop their skills
  • Own curation and quality assurance for templates
  • Work closely with the team developing Canva's product – and ensure that our templates evolve with and inform our features
  • Research competitors, trends, patterns and best-practises, visual/interaction design inspiration, user and business insights
  • Ensure our designers create with usability requirements in mind
  • Produce and integrate effective & efficient design practices
  • Support the team's scalability through documentation and process improvement.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years experience as an Senior Designer or Art Director creating a diverse range of print and digital designs
  • Experience in and a love for design trends and styles that are specific to Australia
  • Experience leading a small team of designers, and providing professional support and development for junior and senior designers
  • A love for print and editorial design, with experience in print production processes, and the ability to prepare files for print flawlessly
  • A passion for writing simple and clear briefs, with demonstrated experience in commissioning photographers and other creatives
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating your passion for designing clean, elegant, and beautiful designs
  • The confidence to try new things, and a passion for big ideas and storytelling
  • The ability to brief illustrators, photographers and videographers to create beautiful and quality content
  • The ability to work collaboratively in a creative team environment
  • Diligence to hit deadlines, and offer suggestions to streamline and improve team processes

Here's a taste of what's on offer:

  • Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
  • 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
