Product Management at Canva

The mission of Product Managers at Canva is to create the most accessible design tool for every person in the world. We believe that we can improve the world by empowering everyone to design and communicate visually. As a Product Manager at Canva you help set this vision, define what that future looks like, and build the products and features that get us there.

We work across teams of designers, software engineers, marketers and analysts to ensure we're delivering an exceptional experience to all our users. We are responsible for implementing and collaborating on product strategy, road mapping, and prioritisation as our product grows. 

It’s our responsibility to see products through their entire lifecycle—from concept through to validation, build, post-launch analytics and iterations.

About our Ingredient Studio

Canva is an online platform that is available across the globe with millions of users worldwide, and our Ingredient Studio Team ensures that Canva realises its goal to empower our users to design and create with the highest quality photos, elements, stickers, videos and audio tracks that our users need for their designs.
