About the Technical Program Managers
At Canva, we're all constantly striving towards our Crazy Big Goals Since growing to a worldwide team of over 3,500 we need to work effectively together and improve our delivery ability as we scale, which is where our Technical Program Managers come in.
As a Technical Program Manager, it is your mission to work closely with senior managers and product development teams to build a sustainable culture of positive urgency in delivery. You will lead complex, multidisciplinary programs and be equally comfortable working with leadership to set strategic goals and clarify priorities, as you are with teams to communicate program status, escalate issues and manage dependencies as you are discussing technical tradeoffs with an engineer.
About the Product Growth Supergroup
The Product Growth Supergroup is on a mission to supercharge Canva's product growth engine. We are responsible for User growth, Teams growth as well as revenue growth. Within the Product Growth Supergroup, we're responsible for driving the holistic product growth strategies for our foundational goals, creating a centre of excellence for productdriven growth and ensuring that our products are getting into the hands of as many users as possible.
Growing teams is a critical goal across the entire company. Our group is doubling down on a wide range of growth experiments and new product initiatives to drive Teams growth.
Through doing this we are also deepening our focus on establishing our B2B best practices and growing our business, which already has 80% of Fortune 1000 customers onboard. On top of this, Canva has over 1 million paid teams and over 10 million monthly active users in teams.
We are early on in our journey to make Canva the household name for teams, and there is a whole lot more to do to achieve our vision and so we are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join us and help propel us towards our vision.
