Responsibilities

• Lead on motion: Make the product feel like magic by animating Canva's design and brand assets into work that demonstrates what the product does and why it matters.
• Make work that performs: Work inside sprint cycles where every piece you ship gets measured. Use a tight feedback loop with what's actually winning in the market to push your craft forward.
• Set the bar for performance creative: Give us craft, shipping our internal concepts, remixing from a growing content library, and setting the standard for what's possible across both short-form social and YouTube ads.
• Build world-class YouTube assets: Treat YouTube as its own craft, focusing on pacing, storytelling, polish, retention curves, and shipping work that stands up against the best paid creative on the platform.
• Recut creator content: Take raw creator and UGC footage and turn it into native-feeling work across Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and beyond.
• Design motion assets: Flex between always-on performance creative and bigger brand moments, across short-form social and longer YouTube formats.
• Support the broader marketing team: Be a flexible craft resource for lifecycle, events, partnerships, and brand campaigns when they need it.
• Push the modern toolset hard: Experiment with AI and modern motion tooling to speed up the boring work so you can spend more time on the parts that matter.
