What you’ll do (responsibilities)

  • Strategy. Act as the main POC and be responsible for overall user and revenue growth in the MENA region. You'll bring together local and global teams across marketing, sales, product, content and finance to create and execute a cohesive multi-year growth strategy, and own the KPIs including MAUs and ARR.

  • Strongly entrepreneurial. Founder-style appetite for growing something big from a small start and working across everything from education to press.
  • Experienced building a market. For example, as the regional GM or brand lead for a global SaaS company, or as a proven founder or growth lead in a startup.
  • A proven leader. Ability to grow, inspire, and coach high-performing teams. You have high emotional intelligence and empathy, and are a deeply collaborative teammate.
  • A strong communicator. Fully proficient in spoken and written English, and with the interpersonal skills to influence global and local stakeholders.
  • Keenly analytical. Deeply focused on KPIs and obsessive about driving actionable insights from disparate datasets.
  • Product oriented. Passion for improving the experience of users and the ability to translate these insights into product requirements.
  • Values aligned. Genuinely excited by Canva’s mission and deeply aligned with our values, and with exceptional references to prove it.
