  • Strengthening partnerships within the People team (Rewards, People Experience, Talent Acquisition, to name a few) to drive alignment and unified approach across the People Group.
  • Bringing an influential voice to represent the top priorities and challenges from Business Leaders through HR Business Partners, scaling impact by establishing effective, continuous feedback loops and aligning strategic People priorities with broader business goals.
  • Playing a pivotal role in managing change within the HR Business Partnering team, fostering confidence, and providing clarity on roles in an evolving environment.
  • Enabling a world-class people strategy that fully embodies our philosophies around empowerment, values, and goals.

What You'll Bring

  • Extensive experience in the people & culture space including leading teams of experienced HR professionals (ideally HR BP teams).
  • Visionary leadership for the role of the HR Business Partner, understanding its strategic importance to help accelerate Canva's goals.
  • Strong operational rigour to turn strategic vision into effective, actionable steps.
  • Clarity and alignment on the role of the HR Business Partner, by close collaboration with business leaders, People Group COEs and the People Leadership team.
  • Change management expertise leading teams through change, instilling confidence, and establishing clarity within a fast-evolving environment.
  • Strategic ability to navigate diverse perspectives and foster alignment across the business and People Group, promoting a unified approach.
  • Ability to coach, mentor, and develop experienced HR Business Partners to unlock their full potential and drive impact across their unique client groups.
  • Ability to balance the big picture with short-term focus and initiatives.
  • Excellent understanding of broad range of HR programs including workforce planning, performance management, leadership development, organisational design & development, talent management, and total rewards.

What We Offer

  • A competitive annual salary of $180,000 - $220,000 AUD, depending on experience.
  • An equity package that reflects your contribution to Canva's success.
  • An inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents and carers.
