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

Alongside our global campuses, we also collaborate with talented contractors and freelancers from all over the world to help us achieve our crazy big goals. While we support flexible, remote-friendly ways of working, for this role we’re focusing on Mexico City so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing.

This role is a 12-month engagement, working full-time hours per week.
What you’d be doing in this role

We’re looking for an experienced Growth Marketing Manager to join our International Marketing team in Mexico on an initial 12-month contract, with opportunity to extend. 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.

As the Growth Manager for Mexico, you’ll be the creative performance engine behind Canva’s paid marketing in the region. You’ll be responsible for audience insight, creative analysis, sprint leadership, and directing a high-performing creative strategy - working at the intersection of data, storytelling, and cultural nuance.

Your role is to work with channel experts to ensure that our creative system is always improving and driving growth. You understand the market and our customers, dive deep into the tools and lead our team’s execution through the creative strategy flywheel with the broader team.

This is a hands-on, insight-led role where local knowledge, analytical curiosity, and creative excellence drive outcomes.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

Analyse dashboards to spot winning creatives, diagnose underperformance, and feed back actionable insights to guide new concepts and iterations.
Understand key marketing channels and how media buying influences creative success. We value your ability to break down a winning TikTok format and adapt it for Canva over deep knowledge of specific bidding mechanics.
Lead the full creative cycle. Research, briefing, production, editing, and analysis - driving sprint cycles with regional/global teams. Develop testable ideas grounded in user insights and market context, collaborating closely with producers, writers, and editors.
You’ll work closely with media buying experts, the Growth Marketing Lead for [Region], our data science team, the local and global creative teams and other key stakeholders involved in campaign execution and marketing operations.
You’ll bring cultural fluency and market nuance perspective to every project. Identifying regional trends, visual cues, differences in product usage and behaviours that shape effective storytelling in your market.
Brief and review creator content to ensure it’s on-brand, relevant, and platform optimised. Resulting in scaling high-performing UGC for local audiences.
Support CRO initiatives to make acquisition journeys seamless, engaging, and high-converting.

To keep the focus clear, this role does not include:

Direct media buying or channel management accountability
Ownership of lifecycle, partnerships, or brand campaigns
Running global creative production end-to-end (you’ll partner with our studio for that!)

You're probably a match if

5+ years of experience working in growth marketing teams with a focus on creative strategy.
Experience working across performance-driven creative, with a deep understanding of ad metrics, audience segmentation, and platform best practices
Confidence using data tools and performance dashboards to inform decision-making and optimise creative at scale
Excellent communication skills in English and [local language], with the ability to spot tone, nuance, and resonance in creative work. Additional languages are viewed favourably.
Strong experience in briefing, reviewing, and iterating creative in cross-functional sprints
A growth mindset. You’re analytical, curious, and unafraid to push for better

About the team

You’ll be part of the International Marketing group, working closely with the local Mexico team and the global performance marketing 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.
