Key Responsibilities

  • Acting 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.
  • Coaching a growing team of Product and Privacy Counsels that act as dedicated legal partners supporting Canva's various groups.
  • Supporting 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.
  • Providing training and awareness of product legal risks to Canvanauts across the business, including Product, Engineering, Design, and Customer Happiness teams.
  • Ensuring 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, ensuring 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.
  • Monitoring and reporting on the regulatory landscape on laws applicable to the risks associated with product launches.
  • Collaborating with our employment, commercial, privacy, and intellectual property specialists.
  • Driving 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, including GDPR, Data Protection Act (UK), ePrivacy Directive, Australian Privacy Principles, Spam Act, Australian Consumer Law, Digital Services Act, Online Safety Act, and EU AI Act.
  • You are a strong and collaborative leader who holds people to account with empathy, inspiring the team to pursue excellence as a team.
  • 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, with 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?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity, and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

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.
