Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hello, 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 campus is in Sydney. We also have campuses in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. But you have a choice in where and how you work; we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

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 role will give you a flavor of the types of projects you'll work on when you start, though these may evolve over time.

The Global Head of Advertising and Creative Operations will play a pivotal role in shaping Canva's brand creative direction and ensuring the delivery of exceptional creative work across all media. You will oversee our in-house agency operations and external agency relationships.

This role combines leadership in creative operations with advertising execution expertise, ensuring efficient and effective delivery of creative work across performance, brand advertising, content, social, lifecycle marketing, and more.

Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer and working closely with the Executive Creative Director and Marketing Leadership team, this position requires deep expertise in creative strategy, operations, agency management, and advertising execution.

At the moment, this role is focused on:
  • Providing strategic leadership for Canva's advertising, leading our award-winning in-house creative agency and external agency partners, ensuring alignment with the company's mission, vision, and business objectives.
  • Overseeing the daily operations of the creative agency, including budget management, staffing, and resource allocation, in partnership with our ECD on creative direction.
  • Collaborating with marketing leadership to integrate creative strategies into the broader business plan.
  • Developing and implementing systems and processes for global creative production and delivery across 14+ markets and various segments.
  • Driving operational efficiency while maintaining creative excellence.
  • Optimizing resource allocation and capacity planning across creative teams.
  • Ensuring effective execution of creative strategy across all advertising initiatives.
  • Maintaining creative quality and consistency across channels and markets.
  • Leading the selection and implementation of creative and advertising technology solutions.
  • Managing the creative technology stack in partnership with our Head of Marketing Technology.
  • Driving automation and efficiency through technology, staying at the forefront of new technologies such as AI and automation.
  • Ensuring effective digital asset management and creative workflow systems.
  • Building and leading high-performing creative operations teams.
  • Developing clear roles and responsibilities across creative production teams.
You're probably a match if you have:
  • Extensive experience in creative operations and advertising.
  • Proven success managing in-house creative teams and external agency relationships.
  • Strong background in creative production, budgeting, and project management.
  • Experience in implementing and optimizing creative operations.
  • A history of building efficient creative delivery systems.
  • Technical literacy and understanding of creative technologies.
  • Proven leadership skills, capable of hiring, developing, and retaining top talent.
