Job Description
Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, ??, 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; we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
What you'd be doing in this role As an Admin Business Partner (akin to an Executive Assistant) to our CMO, your role is to partner with the CMO's Leadership Operations and the CMO to support their day-to-day administration and operations and ensure they're able to focus on key strategy and business complexities, and are ultimately set up for success.
Working in the marketing space means juggling a huge number of always changing priorities and complexities, including:
Different geographies and timezones as we scale teams all over the world. Helping to plan for large budgets that cut across hundreds of initiatives and many global markets. Working with more developed and newly formed teams as we look to evolve our existing teams, and scale up new ones. Bringing together all different types of marketers (whether that's designers, brand managers, performance marketing managers) and making them feel a part of the wider plan. CMO speaker (events), board involvement, and active network engagement. You will also have a cohort of Admin Business Partners from other areas of the business to knowledge share, contribute to, and support each other along the way. The successful candidate will be a key contributor to Canva's global mission to empower the whole world to design and do the most good possible.
At the moment, this role is focused on: Time management: You'll create clarity to chaos by ensuring our CMO's time is used effectively through strategic calendar management, coordinating meetings, and tracking a large volume of action items and follow-ups. Travel planning: You'll plan for travel by managing both logistical travel arrangements as well as trip itineraries, and all the details needed for both domestic and international travel. Meeting preparation: You'll prepare for meetings by coordinating and assisting in building any materials and research such as prep decks, presentations, speaker notes, and all at audiences ranging from direct teams, Canva-wide employees, and external events. Projects and general administration: You'll help out with a wide range of tasks and processes as they come up including expenses, documentation, and any other ad hoc requests. Team activities: You'll lean in to support the organisation of quarterly kick-off known as 'twice yearly Half Openers', All Hands, group-wide off-sites, celebrations, and gifts. Be a Real People Person: You'll build strong relationships with key stakeholders within the company. Own the day to day: You'll be making sure that the lead's time is spent in the most impactful areas by triaging meeting requests, owning the inbox and flow of requests, and running meetings effectively. You're probably a match if: You have experience empowering a leader one-on-one or a group of leaders through strong administrative support. You have experience working in a tech company, supporting busy leaders in either Marketing, Sales, Operations focused teams (ideal, but not essential). You're a team player with excellent communication skills and high emotional intelligence. You have strong project management skills, collaboration abilities, and experience in stakeholder management. You're a quick learner, and comfortable in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment. You're a great listener, seeking to understand what has been tried in the past and how we can continue to improve our ways of working. You've got great attention to detail, you're highly organised and are comfortable building out all sorts of communications. You are someone who can anticipate what's next or what's needed, and you've got a bias for action. You're happy to roll up your sleeves with any task, keeping the bigger picture in mind. About the team This opportunity sits within the Marketing group and will be a partner to our CMO. The ABP role will be integral in supporting Canva's CMO to perform at their very best, providing focused day-to-day administration and operations support.
