About the role
Content moves Canva, and ensuring our content is a driver of growth is crucial. Just as we invest in strong business, marketing, sales, and product leaders in our priority markets, we need an equally strong voice in content.
As a Country Content Strategy Lead, youâll partner closely with the Country Manager to ensure Canva has the right strategic content from your country (or countries), owning content as a growth engine and adapting strategies to support MAU, retention, and revenue impact.
Youâll work closely with the Country Design Lead to deliver content that drives business outcomes. Youâll also champion local relevance and trends that make international users feel Canva is for them, and work closely with country teams (SEO, Localisation, Creators, Product, Marketing) and regional stakeholders to ensure local content delivers high value and measurable impact.
Youâll be coached and supported by a Regional Content Strategy Lead, who will drive content strategy across the region.
What youâll do
As a Country Content Strategy Lead, you bring expertise in strategy, content, business management, and cross-functional stakeholder management. In particular, you will:
- Content Strategy & Execution â Prioritise and execute country content strategy and growth levers, owning content health and production for your country to drive relevance, scale, and business impact.
- Content Quality & Relevance â Ensure that your countryâs content meets Canvaâs standards, resonates culturally, and supports strategic growth metrics.
- Feedback & Insights â Gather input from sales, partners, and local peers to refine content strategies and enhance Canvaâs country impact.
- Discovery & Performance â Own your countryâs content performance across discovery, editorial ensuring the right local content is surfaced through search, recommendations, and editorial, and optimised for engagement, activation, and retention.
- Editorial & Trends Leadership â Execute your countryâs editorial strategy across surfaces (e.g. Showcases), identifying and activating cultural moments in partnership with Marketing, Social and PR.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration â Act as a strategic partner to Country Manager and country peers to align priorities, unblock execution, and drive content-led growth.
- Creator & Partner Engagement â In collaboration with your country community and partnerships managers, build relationships with local creators and partnerships to activate a thriving content ecosystem.
