Commercial Legal Counsel - Sydney, Australia - Canva
Description
Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
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
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. 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.
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.
About the team
Canva is seeking a business-minded lawyer with a solid understanding of technology contracts, experience in managing a high volume of commercial transactions, and ideally some fluency in Mandarin to support Canva and its China business , as and when needed. You will help Canva continue its growth and success with a focus on commercial contracting, in support of our sales, procurement, and partnerships across the broader APAC region, where the majority of support will be. You will also lean in to support our China team and so experience working across borders and understanding different business cultures, in order to operate most effectively, will be key.
You will join a dynamic global legal team working on a variety of innovative legal issues across the entire company. You will be required to leverage your expertise, good judgment, and strong business sense to assess and mitigate legal risk while finalising contracts at a fast pace.
What you'll do
We'd love it if you

Here's a taste of what's on offer:
Check out for more info.
Other stuff to know
We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
Please note that interviews are conducted virtually.
