We lead the strategy and roadmap to empower anyone, anywhere to experience the full value of Canva, be it through subscription management, flawless checkout journeys or localised payment experiences.

Comprising of 4 teams the subgroup simplifies how products are sold, how coupon campaigns are run, and streamlines the checkout flow.

The B2B Billing team plays a key role in supporting one of the company’s top goals: “Empower Enterprise.” Their focus is on building tools and systems that enable our enterprise sales teams to concentrate on selling rather than administration. As the integration point between many systems, the team is involved in the entire process from sales lead to fulfilled orders. Our mission is to automate the creation and management of all B2B subscriptions while supporting new customer billing types, a key initiative in enabling Canva to scale to more customers.

  • You’re adept at identifying multiple solution pathways, assessing trade-offs, and proposing scalable software architectures that address business needs.

  • You communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.

  • You thrive in collaborative team environments, actively participating in pair programming, frequent interactions, and rigorous code reviews.
