About the Group/Team
Canva’s mission is to empower the world to design. With over 220 million users already on board, we have a bold vision to reach 1 billion users. The CJKI Group is dedicated to this mission, pouring our hearts and souls into driving hyperlocalization. We strive to make Canva feel like a local experience in China, Japan, South Korea, and India, ensuring that our platform resonates deeply with users in these regions.
About the Role/Specialty
This role is for a Product Manager who focuses on high-impact, high-ambiguity initiatives across Canva’s core growth entry points and platform-level experiences, while bridging Global Big Bets strategy with the real user, business, and market dynamics of CJKI. You will operate in a highly complex organizational environment, driving alignment, making clear trade-offs, and delivering measurable outcomes. You are not building a small feature—you are reshaping how users experience Canva the first time, the second time, and the Nth time they open the product.
