Hey, 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, Australia but we engage our Contractors all over the world to help us meet our crazy big goals. As a Contractor at Canva you can work remotely in from anywhere in Mexico, meaning you have ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.
Please note, this is a 6-month contract of full-time hours, but you’ll need to balance your schedule to accommodate occasional global team meetings from time to time.
What You’d Be Doing In This Role
As a Creative Specialist, you’ll shape how Canva shows up across the LATAM market, working closely with the Growth Team and Regional Creative Director to bring the Canva brand to life. Partnering with an Art Director, Growth Marketers and local Contractors, you’ll use performance data, market trends and insights to create content that stops the scroll and genuinely engages people across all social platforms.
We’re looking for someone versatile, proactive and experienced to drive creative testing across key markets. You’ll have a knack for thinking both strategically and creatively — and the ability to turn those big-picture ideas into simple, clear, and inspiring copy that works as a springboard for design.
This is your chance to help build our brand in LATAM in a way that is true to Canva. You’ll jump into testing and iterating creative assets as part of our always-on strategy – it’s fast-paced idea-generation at its finest, trying out a wide range of ideas and evolving strategies in real time based on market insights, that will then help inform wider marketing initiatives.
