Content Creator, Performance Creative (6 Month Contract)

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:
Creating engaging social content for Canva's paid social channels — turning ideas into scroll-stopping content that's on-brand, culturally relevant, and impactful
Owning social-first video production end-to-end: ideating, scripting, shooting, editing, and optimising content for high-performing growth campaigns
Translating growth objectives into engaging creative by developing ideas that are both trend-savvy and performance-minded
Testing, learning, and iterating to uncover what drives engagement and conversion on emerging social platforms
Collaborating closely with growth marketers, analysts, and designers to bring data-informed storytelling to life
Acting as a face of Canva when needed — on TikTok or other channels — to add a human, authentic voice to our brand
You're probably a match if
You live and breathe short-form video and instinctively know how to communicate within seconds
You're a keen observer of internet culture and emerging trends, with a knack for turning insights into content that connects
You balance creative flair with an understanding of what drives engagement and conversions
You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and can find a path to clarity without a perfect playbook to follow
You're technically skilled across camera operation, lighting, editing (CapCut, Adobe Suite, Canva Video), and sound design
You have a bias for action — no task is too small if it helps the team move faster and hit its goals
