Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hello, 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 office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a campus in Austin, Texas which is now home to our US operations. You have a choice in where and how you work. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

What you’d be doing in this role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA - and we like to think that's all part of the fun. This list gives you a flavour of the type of work you'll be doing when you start — though it will likely evolve over time.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Owning and driving the end-to-end design, development, and optimization of the prospect-to-lead journey across sales systems.
• Leading strategic initiatives and programs, ensuring timely delivery, alignment with business objectives, and measurable impact.
• Managing and maintaining clear, up-to-date system architecture documentation, incorporating feedback from business stakeholders and adapting as needs evolve.
• Collaborating cross-functionally with global technical teams, IT system owners, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable, efficient solutions.
• Evaluating, implementing, and integrating third-party and SaaS tools (e.g., Salesforce and adjacent technologies) to enhance the sales automation ecosystem.
• Overseeing thorough solution testing, including quality assurance and facilitating User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with key partners, ensuring reliable deployment.

You're probably a match if you have

• Deep expertise in Salesforce, including platform capabilities, architecture, and best-practice configuration for enterprise environments.
• Proven hands-on experience designing and implementing lead routing logic using tools like LeanData, along with strong technical expertise in building Validation Rules, Flows, and Custom Objects on the Salesforce platform.
• Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional projects, working closely with stakeholders from marketing, sales, IT, and engineering.
• Strong analytical and documentation skills, including process mapping, crafting user stories, and managing stakeholder requirements.
• Experience working in Agile environments, with a collaborative mindset and a track record of partnering with technical development teams.
• Relevant certifications such as Salesforce Business Analyst, Advanced Administrator, or certifications in marketing automation platforms are a strong plus.
