Hello, 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 office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to the US, where we now have two hubs in San Francisco and Texas, 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.

• Having a creative point of view on projects/productions assigned, while pushing boundaries for innovations, fresh concepts, and elevating current output
• Managing large teams of internal and external stakeholders and building great relationships to ensure the work is amplified across relevant channels in support of the work

• You are an energy giver with a positive outlook and the ability to influence your team leads, peers, and senior leaders
• You are a team player, enjoy being collaborative and are open to lend a helping hand to colleagues as needed
• You enjoy a fast paced environment and are excited about working with a global team, frequent travel is expected of whomever will fill the role...but we make it fun!
