Suggest new design styles and creative directions that fit what local users want. ローカルユーザーのニーズに合った新しいデザインスタイルやクリエイティブの方向性を提案します。

Use AI tools to create templates at scale for the Japan market, without compromising craft or cultural relevance. AIツールを活用し、クオリティや文化的な関連性を損なうことなく、日本市場向けにテンプレートを大規模に制作します。
Write Creator briefs that give clear direction, context and inspiration, so Creators can do their best work. クリエイターが最高の成果を発揮できるよう、明確な方向性・背景情報・インスピレーションを伝えるクリエイターブリーフを作成します。

About the Group/Team
Our marketplace of templates provides the perfect place for our users to begin their design journey. The Canva team wants to work with talented designers from across the world, to redefine what’s possible for a template - creating a new benchmark for fresh, high-quality design content within our collection. We're aiming to build the world’s best design marketplace, with a library of designs that offer our users a wide variety of usable and dynamic content - and to do that, we need the help of talented designers that can create amazing content.
About the Role/Specialty
Canva's on a mission to democratise design, and localisation is a big part of that. It's not enough to translate content from English — we want every market to have templates that reflect their own design aesthetics and trends. Working closely with copywriters, illustrators, market growth and localisation specialists, you'll oversee the end-to-end rollout of the Japan content library.
This role goes beyond designing templates yourself. You'll also shape what our external Creators make — writing clear Creator briefs, managing quality of their template submissions, and using AI to create templates at scale for the Japan market. You'll partner with the Design Lead to help manage our freelancer designers, keeping work aligned, on-brief and on-time.
