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. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. This role is open to applicants looking for a hybrid style of working, who are able to attend one of our AU campuses frequently to collaborate with teams.

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.

The User Voice Business Partner, also known as Customer Experience Lead will be accountable for defining the processes, logic, policies and overall support experience for users requiring support for issues while editing and designing on Canva. They will be responsible for designing the right mix of channels between help centre, in-product assistant, chatbot, chat, email and other possible future channels, e.g. phone support. The experience needs to meet user needs whilst also being deliverable at scale and at sustainable cost.

Having designed the experience, this role is then responsible for ensuring all the parts of User Voice’s global capabilities are aligned on delivering this experience with clear and defined goals and objectives, and ensuring product roadmaps accommodate the diverse needs of both this segment of users, and the internal stakeholders with whom the User Voice Business Partner will be closely collaborating. This role is also accountable for the overall performance delivery against these goals - they will communicate progress, identify issues and resolve situations large and small rapidly and effectively.

The role will initially be an internal contributor role within the User Voice group and as a partner to internal business and product teams across areas that touch on editing and designing. They will have access to the full network of User Voice capabilities. Over time, the role may include a small direct team.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Service design: Design the User Voice end-to-end experience for customers, ensuring our processes, policies, and systems reflect the current needs of our users and our business
• Service design: Break down this end-to-end experience into discrete goals for each part of User Voice’s global teams
• Service delivery: Be accountable for overall results and cost to internal stakeholders. You will leverage data-driven insights to continuously refine our service delivery model, ensuring it scales efficiently with Canva’s growth
• Identify and resolve issues large and small; You will take ownership of the full end-to-end customer experience strategy and its execution, influencing how millions of Canva users interact with our platform
• Voice of Customer: Deliver User Voice insights to relevant product teams to shape experience to avoid service issues in the first place 
• Stakeholder management: Identify the right stakeholders across the business and create/maintain relationships with them to deliver the best outcomes for the business and for our users
• Change Management: Manage product or business changes that impact our users, liaising between User Voice stakeholders and other internal teams to ensure changes are managed effectively and in a way that doesn’t negatively impact the user experience
