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 flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but we have a swanky new office in London that has all the bells and whistles. Even though you'll find us in Shoreditch, you have choice in where and how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

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.

  • Being the eyes and ears for the legal team and refer out matters to other legal specialities where required, including employment, commercial and intellectual property specialists;

  • You are a pragmatic, business minded lawyer who wants to help build our business.
  • You are risk aware, not risk averse, can work independently and have the confidence to make judgement calls in ambiguous situation.
  • You know the law, but are conscious of industry practices and enforcement trends.
  • You are able to influence stakeholders to prioritise compliance and have experience doing this with leaders and stakeholders across areas such as product, engineering and education technology.
  • You are focussed on delivering projects even where this calls for you to go beyond the role of legal advisor and you’re not afraid to hustle other teams and individuals to get things done.
  • You are a collaborative team player committed to working together to achieve business goals
