Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Kamusta, hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, สวัสดี!

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

Alongside our global campuses, we also collaborate with talented contractors and freelancers from all over the world to help us achieve our crazy big goals. While we support flexible, remote-friendly ways of working, for this role we’re focusing on Jakarta, Indonesia so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing. 

This role is a 6-month engagement, working 40 hours per week.

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.

We're looking for a Motion Designer to join Canva on a 6-month contract. In this role, you'll create engaging static and motion creative across a wide range of marketing initiatives in Indonesia. From brand campaigns and partnerships to social media, performance marketing, events, product launches, and lifecycle marketing, you'll help bring Canva's ideas to life through thoughtful design and motion.

Working closely with marketers and cross-functional stakeholders, you'll contribute to creative concepts and deliver high-quality visual assets that are on-brand, locally relevant, and tailored to each channel. While motion design is an important part of the role, we're looking for someone with a strong foundation in graphic design who enjoys working across both static and motion projects.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Create high-quality static and motion assets across brand campaigns, partnerships, social media, performance marketing, events, product launches, and other marketing initiatives.
• Design and adapt creative across a variety of channels and formats, ensuring a consistent and engaging brand experience.
• Collaborate with marketers and cross-functional stakeholders to develop creative ideas and bring campaigns to life.
• Create compelling visuals and use motion to enhance storytelling across digital experiences where appropriate.
• Ensure all creative outputs are on-brand, localized for the Indonesia market, and optimized for their intended platforms.
• Stay across design, motion, and social trends, bringing fresh ideas and creative thinking to continuously improve our work.

You're probably a match if

You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy working in fast-paced, collaborative environments and love creating work that connects with people.

We're looking for a designer with a strong foundation in visual design and excellent motion skills. You'll be comfortable taking projects from concept through execution, creating compelling visuals and bringing them to life through motion when appropriate. You enjoy exploring new ideas, care about the details, and know how to balance creativity with getting things done. You'll succeed in this role if you're a resourceful, detail-oriented creative with a passion for design and creating work that resonates with local audiences.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating excellent graphic design and motion design across a range of digital marketing, brand, or creative projects.
• Strong graphic design fundamentals, including typography, layout, composition, colour, and visual hierarchy.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative, test-and-learn environment.
