LATAM Regional SEO Lead

Hey, hello, hiya, 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 headquarters is in sunny Sydney, Australia, but our team spans the globe. While we support flexible, remote-friendly ways of working, for this role, we’re focusing on São Paulo, Brazil, so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing.

What you’d be doing in this role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Coaching and enabling Country SEO Leads across LATAM to achieve full strategic autonomy

• Synthesising local SEO performance insights to inform global strategies.

• Evangelising SEO within regional leadership and influencing resource prioritisation.

• Collaborating with other Regional SEO Strategists to scale systems thinking globally.

• Guiding experimentation with AI search trends and next-gen discovery channels.

• Ensuring strategic alignment across language clusters (e.g., Spanish variants across LATAM)

You're probably a match if

• You have deep international SEO expertise with a strong localisation lens.

• You're a peer coach at heart, enabling others to lead with confidence and impact.

• You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy solving complex regional growth challenges.

• You're data-driven with excellent judgment and prioritisation skills.

• You understand how organic discoverability is evolving — across AI, search, and social.

• You’ve worked cross-functionally with marketing, product, and engineering teams in a global setting.

• You’re fluent in both English and Portuguese, with strong cross-cultural communication skills
