Job Description
Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hey, hello, hiya, 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. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you’re near one), at home or a bit of both, it’s up to you.
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:
You’ll partner with teams across Canva to drive improvements to Canva’s technology control environment.
You’ll drive multi-team projects to meet Canva’s new technology and information security compliance obligations.
You’ll organise and facilitate Canva’s internal and external technology audits and control testing processes.
You’ll empower business decisions by clearly articulating technology and security risks.
You’ll drive efficiency improvements that reduce the manual effort involved in risk management and compliance activities.
You’ll build a culture of risk and compliance literacy across diverse stakeholders.
You’ll actively contribute to team responsibilities and other parts of Canva’s technology risk and information security management system.
You’re probably a match if
You bring at least 5 years of experience in technology risk and compliance, including hands-on controls testing, audit facilitation, and control design discussions.
You have practical knowledge of key industry standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS, and ideally exposure to SOX or FedRAMP frameworks.
You understand the technical foundations of SaaS - cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and identity systems- well enough to engage meaningfully with engineering teams.
You thrive in cross-functional environments, working effectively with diverse stakeholders at all levels.
You’re a strong communicator with sharp attention to detail and a mindset for continuous improvement.
You’re comfortable leveraging tools like Jira, Confluence, and ideally, continuous control monitoring platforms like Anecdotes.
You have hands-on experience using AI in your work to drive greater impact
