Hey, hello, hiya, 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.
Job Description
Where and how you can work
Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a hub in San Francisco, which is now home to our US operations. We offer flexibility in how and where 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. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.
At The Moment, This Role Is Focused On
We’re looking for a social-first creative strategist to own and operate Canva’s TikTok.
This is a hybrid role for someone who blends content craft with platform expertise, and who’s just as confident ideating as they are publishing, engaging, and iterating. You’ll be the creative lead, strategist, and voice of TikTok - working alongside an in-house team of content creators to bring Canva’s brand to life in bold, human, and native ways.
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
At Canva we value fairness, and we strive to provide competitive, market-informed compensation whilst ensuring internal equity within the team in each region. We make hiring decisions based on your skills, experience and our overall assessment of what we observed and learnt in the hiring process. The target salary range for this position is $133,000 to $171,000 USD. When calculating offers, we make salary decisions based on market data and candidates' skills and experience.
Other Stuff To Know
We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
We celebrate all types of skills and backgrounds at Canva so even if you don’t feel like your skills quite match what’s listed above - we still want to hear from you!
If you're shortlisted, we'll ask you to share some examples of your work to help us understand your approach. We may also invite you to submit a short video so we can get to know you better—more details to come if you progress!
Please note that interviews are conducted virtually.

At The Moment, This Role Is Focused On
- Owning TikTok end-to-end – leading everything from content strategy and ideation to creation, publishing, engagement, and ongoing optimisation.
- Creating bold, native content – making videos that feel right at home on TikTok, resonate with current culture, and reflect Canva’s tone of voice and values.
- Collaborating with creators – partnering with our in-house content team, community members, and influencers to bring your ideas to life.
- Moving fast and learning faster – jumping on trends, testing new formats, and quickly iterating based on what’s working with your audience.
- Staying close to the community – actively tuning into comments, conversations, and creators shaping culture on the platform.
- Reporting and reflecting – tracking performance, sharing key insights, and evolving your approach based on results.
- Thinking big when it counts – contributing to larger-scale campaigns, partnerships, and brand activations with the broader team.
- You are a platform-native creative – you instinctively understand how different platforms work, how users behave, and what makes content land, especially on TikTok.
- You are a maker at heart – you don’t wait to brief; you shoot, write, edit, and post if it means getting something great out the door fast.
- You are obsessed with social – you scroll with intention, study what works, and naturally spot what’s trending and what’s tired.
- You are comfortable in a lean, high-trust team – you value autonomy, make confident calls, and own your output from start to finish.
- You are a sharp collaborator – you know when to jam with others and when to take the lead and run with a vision.
- You are passionate about local culture and community – you create content that feels timely, relevant, and real for a U.S. audience.
