Hey, 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, Australia but we engage our Contractors and Freelancers all over the world to help us meet our crazy big goals. As a Contractor or Freelancer at Canva, you can work fully remotely in the country outlined above, meaning you have ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.

What you’d be doing in this role

We’re looking for an experienced Social Media Manager to join our International Marketing team in Mexico on a 12-month contract. As Canva continues to grow, change remains part of our DNA—but we like to think that’s all part of the fun. This gives you a flavour of what you’ll be working on when you start, but the role will likely evolve as we do.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Leading the creation and execution of our Mexico social media calendar, ensuring it aligns with key marketing priorities and local moments
• Crafting thumb-stopping content—from copy to visuals and video—that brings our brand to life across platforms using Canva
• Dreaming up bold, creative ideas that position Canva as a design thought leader in the market
• Acting as a brand champion, ensuring every piece of content reflects Canva’s tone, values, and voice
• Collaborating with the global social team to localise campaigns that resonate culturally and drive connection
• Engaging daily with our community—responding, reacting, and making our channels a place people want to be
• Staying ahead of trends, tapping into cultural moments, and keeping an eye on competitors to shape our local strategy
• Partnering closely with local teams to keep aligned on business goals and opportunities
• Translating global assets and messaging to ensure they’re meaningful and impactful for the Mexican market
• Owning community engagement on local channels—driving conversation and fostering connection

You're probably a match if

• You have deep expertise in social media content strategy, execution, and community engagement
• You’re confident using tools like Sprout Social, Monday.com, Google Analytics, Looker—and of course, Canva
• You’re a creative thinker with hands-on experience crafting brand content across platforms, including video editing
• You’re naturally plugged into social media culture—understanding what’s trending, what resonates, and what drives conversation
• You’re analytical and curious, always looking to better understand your audience and optimise for impact
• You’re a compelling communicator—whether it’s writing, designing, or speaking—and thrive when juggling multiple priorities
• You know how to tailor content to each platform and get the most out of each one
• You’re collaborative and relationship-driven, working well with both internal teams and external partners
• You can zoom out to see the big picture, while also diving in to deliver day-to-day needs
• You’re proactive and adaptable—ready to pivot, problem-solve, and push things forward in a fast-paced environment

About the team

You’ll be part of the International Marketing group, working closely with the local Mexico team and the global social media team. Together, we’re on a mission to empower users everywhere to design—your storytelling will help make Canva one of the most loved and culturally relevant brands in Mexico.
