Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte, 안녕하세요!

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 and Freelancers all over the world to help us meet our crazy big goals. As a Contract or Freelancer at Canva you can work remotely in the country listed on this job ad, meaning you have ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.

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:

• Produce animated assets and stickers in different styles according to the brief given by the Canva team
• Work to high-quality illustration standards
• Following production processes and requirements
• Working on a timeline (coordinated through our Monday board & and Slack)
• Accept feedback and open to reworking if the brief is not met

You're probably a match if

• Prior experience with design, illustration, and animation with an online portfolio of motion graphics work
• Have strong technical skills, and are able to work proficiently in After Effects, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop

• Are comfortable in designing and animating vector characters and/or typography
• Have a passion for creating well-designed, usable animated graphics in different styles
• Have a desire to learn new techniques and technology to advance your craft
• Have a strong eye for quality and details. Not a must, but it will be extra awesome if you'd have experience in 3D Animation (Blender, Cinema4D, or other 3D rendering software)
• Are able to receive and interpret feedback, and meet tight deadlines
• Have own equipment: Computer/Laptop (with hi-res screen preferable) and high-speed internet
