Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Kamusta, 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 Manila, Philippines so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing.

This role is a 6-month freelance engagement, paid on a per-output model. It would suit someone with availability of approximately 30-40 hours per week.

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:

• Developing content plans and prescribing learning assessments based on the PH K-12 curriculum, forming the foundation of new Canva templates for Filipino classrooms
• Initiating and reviewing creative briefs for new educational elements (illustrations, photos, videos) to ensure topic relevance and grade-level appropriateness
• Evaluating educational resources — including templates, AI-generated content, and multimedia — for curriculum accuracy, pedagogical effectiveness, and learning flow
• Translating those evaluations into strategic, actionable insights to support the team's content goals
• Mapping PH K-12 curriculum standards (DepEd MATATAG K-10 and Strengthened SHS Grades 11–12) to existing and needed resources via gap analysis
• Identifying priorities for new content creation across grade levels and subjects

You're probably a match if

• You have hands-on teaching experience in K-12 and understand what effective learning looks like from inside the classroom
• You hold a degree in Education (preferred), majoring in a relevant subject, or have a degree directly relevant to your subject area
• You've created curriculum-aligned content outside your own classroom — whether that's modules, textbooks, instructional videos, or Canva templates
• You have an excellent grasp of both English and Filipino, and a knack for crafting engaging, pedagogically sound copy
• You're genuinely curious about how AI can support educational content development
• You can follow a project brief closely, proactively clarify details, and turn research into polished, on-brand template copy

About the team

Canva connects with the education community as a go-to platform for students, parents, teachers, and schools as they explore creative and collaborative features to suit their needs.

You'll be joining a team that's passionate about making quality education more accessible — and making Canva truly local in markets that matter.
