Where and how you can work

Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we’ve made our way from down under, to Toronto, Canada. This is a remote role as we currently do not have an office in Canada.

From whiteboards to docs, to presentations and our AI platform magic Studio, our Sales team work with all departments empowering them to create and collaborate at scale.

Whether it’s creating eye-catching pitch decks for their sales teams, designing creative marketing materials at scale, or ensuring everyone is on-brand, our team has the expertise to help our customers in all departments succeed.

We’re teaming up with colleagues across the board - from Product to Marketing - all supporting our sales team. As we branch out into new markets and develop fresh Enterprise solutions, we’re crafting something truly unique. Together, we’re redesigning work.

  • Bring chaos to clarity: Simplifying complex situations into digestible customer-ready stories and materials using Canva’s worksuite (presentations, doc etc.)

What we’re looking for

  • 8+ years of full cycle selling experience working with a range of customers, from medium-sized businesses to large corporations. For our Strategic role, we are looking for people with experience with large named accounts ideally on a global scale within a technology company, demonstrating a history of top performance.
