About the Role

Canva is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Product Legal Counsel to join our dynamic global legal team.

Key Responsibilities
  • Act as the lead for product counselling, working closely with the Head of Product and Product Managers across the product delivery lifecycle to ensure compliance with laws, including privacy, AI, marketing, consumer protection, and content moderation laws.
  • Coach a growing team of Product and Privacy Counsels that act as dedicated legal partners supporting Canva's various groups.
  • Support Canva's mission to become the most trusted platform by keeping the team accountable for their goals that reduce risk, while balancing this against the company's growth goals and risk appetite.
  • Provide training and awareness of product legal risks to Canvanauts across the business, including Product, Engineering, Design, and Customer Happiness teams.
  • Ensure team effectiveness and responsiveness on privacy impact assessments and support requests from the business, inspiring the team to exceed expectations.
  • Together with the broader legal team, ensure the terms of use are up-to-date to reflect new product rules and allow our Customer Happiness Team to enforce and interpret the Terms of Use for users and customers.
  • Monitor and report on the regulatory landscape on laws applicable to the risks associated with product launches.
  • Collaborate with our employment, commercial, privacy, and intellectual property specialists.
  • Drive privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default as part of the product development lifecycle.
Requirements
  • You have been a Product Counsel at a fast-paced and global technology business and have technical expertise in privacy, AI, consumer protection, marketing, and intellectual property laws.
  • You have knowledge of the key laws relevant to a global SaaS company based in Australia (e.g. GDPR, Data Protection Act (UK), ePrivacy Directive, Australian Privacy Principles, Spam Act, Australian Consumer Law, Digital Services Act, Online Safety Act, EU AI Act).
  • You are a strong and collaborative leader that holds people to account with empathy.
  • You inspire the team to pursue excellence as a team.
  • You are excited to roll up your sleeves.
  • You proactively identify issues and analyze opportunities to help Canva and the broader legal team achieve its goals.
  • You are able to collaborate with and influence stakeholders to prioritize product delivery and compliance and have experience doing this with leaders and stakeholders across various functions in an organization.
  • You are focused on delivering projects even where this calls for you to go beyond the role of legal advisor and you're not afraid to hustle other teams and individuals to get things done.
  • You are comfortable dealing with uncertain, ambiguous, and dynamic environments, and working with lawyers and stakeholders in other time zones.
  • You have excellent communication and problem-solving skills and can make complex communications simple.
What's in it for you?
  • 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.
