About Canva

Canva is a global design platform redefining how the world experiences design. Committed to flexibility and innovation, Canva fosters a collaborative environment where creativity thrives. The company encourages a healthy work-life balance, trusting its employees ('Canvanauts') to manage their work effectively.

Where and How You Can Work

This is a fully remote role based in the United States, with a strong preference for candidates located in Los Angeles to facilitate overlap with the Sydney-based team during key creative touchpoints. Canva provides all necessary equipment for remote work. The role is a 12-month fixed-term contract, requiring full-time hours per week.

What You'll Be Doing

This is not a traditional videographer role; you'll be a creative collaborator embedded within Canva's organic social team, contributing to the brand's presence on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Your work will focus on building Canva's US presence by staying ahead of cultural trends.

Key Responsibilities:

• Shoot and edit social-first content, primarily using an iPhone, optimized for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
• Conceptualize original ideas and proactively contribute to content strategy, not just execute briefs.
• Monitor US trends, pop culture, and breaking news in real-time, creating content same-day when necessary.
• Collaborate closely with the Social Lead to develop entertainment-led series and culturally relevant brand campaigns.
• Produce a mix of lo-fi reactive content and more polished, cinematic edits, understanding the appropriate use case for each.
• Contribute to light graphic design or meme formats if within your skill set.

You're Probably a Match If:

• You are a social-first creator comfortable shooting on both iPhone and traditional cameras, knowing which tool is best for the job.
• You have a deep understanding of TikTok and Instagram, including what makes content engaging and scroll-stopping.
• You are proactive in concepting and can independently manage ideas from inception to publication.
• You have experience working at speed, comfortable with reactive, same-day content production.
• You are proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, with CapCut or DaVinci Resolve experience also valuable.
• You have some experience in a corporate or agency setting and can navigate structure and process effectively.
