Where and how you can work
Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.

We are searching for an experienced DesignOps, Program Manager to help us in supporting the team culture and health of our team ensuring everyone within the Product Design specialty is treated equally and with fairness.

• Drive the adoption and contribution to the Canva's Product Design Playbook. Work with Product Designers to publish best practices, examples, case studies and templates that can be shared across the entire Product Design Specialty.
• Track specialty health regularly. Working with Product Design leads to understanding pain points, identifying opportunities, and help us prioritise for impact.
• Support SG leads to coordinate design work in planning cycles, particularly with teams outside our supergroup. Mapping how the supergroup will support the other supergroups with new product launches.
• Champion design team culture and well-being. (such as mental health checkins, retros, planning regular team bonding, events and celebrations).
