Hey, 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. 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, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
What you'd be doing in this role
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.
At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • ​​​​ Campaign Management & Optimisation: Manage and optimize SEM campaigns-analyzing performance data, writing ad copy, reviewing search term reports, and more. Own your portfolio of accounts and campaigns to meet user and revenue goals.
  • Lead Key Strategic Initiatives: Take ownership of global SEM projects in close collaboration with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and external partners.
  • Make Complex Things Simple: Identify and implement efficiency improvements in performance and processes while demonstrating the effectiveness of marketing investments.
  • Ad Hoc Tasks & Projects: No two days are the same in SEM-jump in to help with special projects, troubleshoot issues, and support the team as needed.
  • Share Our Wins & Learnings: Provide accurate and timely weekly reports on campaign performance to the team and wider stakeholders.
  • Be a Market-Leader & Subject Matter Expert: Stay ahead of industry trends and competitor activity, ensuring the business is optimized for both current and future technologies.
  • Be a Team Player: Contribute to other marketing, product, and growth activities as needed.


You're probably a match if

  • You have 3+ years of hands-on experience running complex, large-scale global SEM and Shopping campaigns in-house or client-side (without an agency) to achieve both efficiency and volume targets. Performance Max campaign experience is a bonus.
  • You've worked with bid management tools (e.g., SA360, Marin, Adobe Media Optimiser, or Kenshoo).
  • You pay close attention to detail and excel at using spreadsheets. You're comfortable with numbers, statistics, and analyzing large datasets to spot trends, optimize campaigns, and make data-driven decisions.
  • You demonstrate strong project management skills and never miss a deadline.
  • You have a passion for execution, drive meaningful impact, and move projects forward with a sense of urgency-big or small.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment where multiple teams depend on you.
  • You're willing to be hands-on-no task is too big or too small.
  • You possess excellent organisational and communication skills.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
