CJKI Product Program Manager

What you’ll do (responsibilities)
You’ll own the product experiences in your scope end-to-end — from building a deep understanding of Chinese user behaviour and pain points, to forming a clear view of what is worth building, to defining it in specs your team can act on. You’ll define the metrics that matter, design experiments that produce reliable answers, and decide what ships.
You'll bring structure to ambiguous problems and take accountability for the trade-offs you make. Where the right answer isn't obvious, you'll form a considered view, test it, and stand behind the result.
You'll drive cross-functional initiatives to timely, high-quality delivery, working across engineering, design, data and marketing. You'll raise risks early and keep stakeholders informed in writing. You'll also help raise the standard of how our team plans, tracks and documents its work.
You'll partner closely with Canva's global product teams. You'll represent the China context with evidence, shape global launches so they work well for local users, and drive alignment without direct reporting authority.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone who combines strong product instincts with the discipline to make complex, multi-team work happen. You should be comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, and equally comfortable holding a plan together when several teams depend on it.
Skills, Competencies, and Attributes:
Product Sense: You can work out what to build and why, not just execute a requirement someone else has defined. You can point to a product decision you made yourself and what came of it.
Structured Thinking: You break ambiguous problems down methodically, reasoning through edge cases before committing to a direction — and you pick up unfamiliar domains quickly.
Consumer Product Experience: 3+ years of product or closely related experience, including owning consumer (B2C) products end-to-end, with a deep understanding of Chinese users and the local landscape.
Data Fluency: You pull and interrogate your own data, design clean experiments, and combine quantitative signal with user insight to make decisions.
Program and Delivery Management: You can run several workstreams at once, hold a realistic view of scope, dependencies and timelines, and raise risks early with options rather than late with excuses.
Stakeholder Influence: You build trust quickly across functions and drive alignment without formal authority, keeping everyone working from the same picture.
Communication and Documentation: You write specs people understand on one read, keep work tracked, and keep stakeholders updated before they have to ask. Fluent English and comfortable working with teams outside China.
Nice-to-have
A technical background, or enough grounding to hold a substantive conversation with engineering.
Experience in growth or subscription domains.
Experience handling regional differentiation and localisation in a global product.
By bringing these skills and attributes to Canva, you will play a crucial role in driving our product initiatives forward and contributing to our mission of empowering the world to design.
