• Crafting thumb-stopping content—from copy to visuals and video—that brings our brand to life across platforms using Canva
• Dreaming up bold, creative ideas that position Canva as a design thought leader in the market
• Acting as a brand champion, ensuring every piece of content reflects Canva’s tone, values, and voice
• Collaborating with the global social team to localise campaigns that resonate culturally and drive connection
• Engaging daily with our community—responding, reacting, and making our channels a place people want to be
• Staying ahead of trends, tapping into cultural moments, and keeping an eye on competitors to shape our local strategy
• Partnering closely with local teams to keep aligned on business goals and opportunities
• Translating global assets and messaging to ensure they’re meaningful and impactful for the UK market
