  • You will drive education growth in the UK & Ireland by engaging teachers and students, enhancing activation and usage, and aligning teams to build scalable, impactful initiatives.

Requirements

  • You think in activation, retention, and habit formation — not just awareness or top-line sales.
  • You are hands-on and comfortable operating without a rigid playbook — rolling up your sleeves when needed.
  • You can navigate both grassroots environments (teachers, schools, communities) and strategic conversations (partners, stakeholders, government).
  • You thrive in cross-functional environments and can influence without authority.
  • You are curious, adaptable, and excited about shaping a vertical that doesn’t yet have a fully defined playbook.

  • Designing and executing UK & Ireland's education growth strategy — from grassroots teacher engagement to municipality-level partnerships.
  • Shifting the focus from “train” to “activate & retain” — embedding Canva into everyday classroom workflows.
  • Aligning Sales, Marketing, Content, Product, and Partnerships around clear education growth outcomes.
  • Identifying friction in onboarding and reducing barriers to sustained usage at scale.
  • Building scalable, locally relevant initiatives that turn education into a compounding acquisition and frequency engine.

Mission & Purpose

We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world. Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%. We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.
