Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, hello, hiya, 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 headquarters is in sunny Sydney, Australia, but our team spans the globe. Since we don’t have a physical campus in Singapore, this role is fully remote – giving you the flexibility to do your best work from wherever you thrive.

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:

• Growing the region: Scale Canva Enterprise revenue across South East Asia with consistent, predictable execution.

• Exploring new markets: Run structured tests, validate demand, and operationalise go‑to‑market for new segments and countries.

• Navigating complexity: Manage multi‑stakeholder deals, align exec sponsors, and unblock procurement and security reviews across diverse regulatory environments.

• Driving adoption: Championing value delivery that leads to expansion and renewal outcomes in SEA accounts.

• Systematising excellence: Implement playbooks, KPIs, and feedback loops to improve pipeline health and forecast accuracy.

• Building leaders: Hire and be a hands-on coach with A‑players and develop future managers across the region.

• Winning together: Collaborate with SDR, RevOps, Product, and Marketing to amplify impact with localised motions.

You’re probably a match if

• You’re a proven winner: You’ve successfully led high-performing sellers in a top-tier SaaS business.

• You’re a natural leader: You know how to attract, grow, and inspire A+ talent to deliver outstanding results.

• You’re a focused manager: You can ruthlessly prioritise effort with an eye toward business outcomes.

• You’re a coach at heart: You’re practical, hands-on, and willing to lead from the front.

• You’re a clear communicator: You make complex ideas simple, concise, and actionable.

• You’re a self-starter: You work independently, collaborate naturally, and thrive in ambiguity.

• You’re action-oriented: You move fast with a strong bias toward execution and impact.

• You’re humble and curious: You constantly seek feedback, challenge assumptions, and push to improve.

• You know your numbers: You’re confident owning pipeline, deal progression, and accurate forecasting from 0 to close.
