Hey, gday, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and youre probably keen to find out whats on offer, so well 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 Contractor at Canva you can work remotely in the country listed on this job ad (Mexico), meaning you have ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us. Please note, this is a 4month contract role.
What you’d be doing in this role
We’re looking for a Senior Art Director to help elevate Canva’s creative presence across Brazil and Mexico. You’ll work closely with the Creative Director to shape the visual direction of our campaigns, partnering with designers, copywriters, and freelancers to bring ideas to life across brand, performance, and product.
You’re someone who can generate ideas that people want to watch, share, and talk about. Creating work that feels alive in culture and can live across platforms, from TikTok to OOH, from social to events. You’ll play a key role in making sure Canva stands out, not just as a platform, but as a brand people love.
You’ll need to be a strong designer with a sharp creative eye and a confident voice. Someone who can lead concept development, write clearly, and bring creative thinking into every stage of a project, from concept to execution.
You’re based in either Brazil or Mexico, working directly across both markets.
