Education Creator Community Manager

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you. 

About the Learn Grid Studio

We're building the Learn Grid—a world-class library of over 100,000 curriculum-aligned resources—that will democratize access to educational content for millions of teachers and students globally. Our Learn Grid Studio sits at the intersection of curriculum expertise, AI-powered content generation, and strategic partnerships, transforming Canva from a design tool into the go-to platform where educators find ready-to-teach resources for every subject, grade level, and curriculum standard.

We're not just scaling content – we're scaling educational equity, reducing teacher burnout, and ensuring that every student has access to engaging, curriculum-aligned learning experiences regardless of their zip code or school budget.

You’ll design and deliver skills‑building workshops, nurture creator relationships, develop prospecting and retention programs.

• Support international Community Managers by creating toolkits, workshop assets, and ready‑to‑run initiatives.

• Create and own a global content briefing and events calendar that motivates and inspires our Education Creators.

• Oversee the Creator experience from acquisition to long‑term retention, ensuring creators feel supported and successful.

• Gather feedback, insights, and data from Creators to inform program decisions and identify opportunities.

• Build strong relationships with Creators, offering guidance, support, and actionable feedback.

• Collaborate cross‑functionally with the Learning Experience team, content, review, marketing, and product to meet shared goals.

• Manage communications with Creators—crafting inclusive, clear, and motivating messages across channels.

What we're looking for

• Experience scaling global community programs in K12 education, community management, creator programs, or a related field

• Deep knowledge of the K12 education landscape, with the ability to identify trends, nurture talent, and guide creators to produce relevant content.

• A community‑builder at heart who understands how to foster belonging and motivate contributors.

• Collaborative operator, experienced in working cross-functionally with content, SEO, international, marketing and content teams to align on strategy and drive impact in fast-moving environments

• Thrives in ambiguity and fast-changing environments, able to navigate evolving priorities with flexibility, creativity, and a solution-oriented mindset.

• A data‑informed mindset, comfortable interpreting insights and applying them to strategy.

• Ability to create systems, toolkits, and scalable processes for global enablement.

• Comfortable with productivity and marketing tools such as Google Suite, Monday.com, Hubspot, or equivalent for tracking, reporting, and communications.

• Strong facilitation and presentation skills, with comfort leading workshops and trainings.

• Strong relationship builder, able to develop trust and maintain close ties with creators, and internal stakeholders.

• Familiarity with design principles or classroom pedagogy is a strong plus.

• Passion for education and Canva’s mission to empower creativity in every classroom.
