Graduate Visual Designer - Anz

Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!

Learning lots about graduate programs and they're all starting to sound the same? Good thing you're reading this.

Launchpad is for career starters looking to lay the foundations for a successful, fulfilling and exciting career. Whether you’re fresh out of your studies or looking to make a change early on in your career, we’ve crafted a program that sets you up with the skills you need to be successful at Canva (and beyond!).

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. If you call New Zealand home, we have our Auckland co-working space too.

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.

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:

• Collaborating with the team to create visually compelling designs.
• Working closely with the team to understand project requirements and objectives, and translate them into engaging and effective visual solutions.
• Working independently as needed.
• Thinking strategically when working on projects and making design suggestions.
• Helping in the process of gathering data and insights to inform product development.
• Supporting the team in organising and maintaining design files, assets, and documentation.
• Contributing to brainstorming sessions and actively participate in creative discussions.
• Taking constructive feedback from team members and apply it to improve designs.
