Company Description Join The Team Redefining How The World Experiences Design.
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 California (San Francisco or LA), so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing. This role is a six‑month engagement, working 40 hours per week.
What You’d Be Doing In This Role We’re looking for a seasoned experiential marketer to join Canva’s Brand Experience team as a Senior Experiential Marketing Manager. As a Senior Marketing Manager on the team, your remit will span strategy, project leadership, and flawless delivery of our biggest owned events. While AI Vision and Owned Events at Canva will be your core responsibility, this role is designed to contribute to the evolution of brand experience at Canva more broadly — helping to shape how we show up across formats, audiences, and moments around the world.
At Canva, This Role Is Focused On
Leading Canva’s global owned events end‑to‑end, setting vision, driving alignment, and managing complex, cross‑functional delivery.
Owning agency partnerships and overseeing planning and execution across programming, creative, production, and operations.
Partnering with teams across Creative, Campaigns, Product, PMM, B2B Marketing, Sales, and Digital to deliver cohesive, high‑quality experiences.
Shaping content programming for flagship events, including agendas, formats, storytelling, and speaker experiences.
Extending live experiences into compelling digital moments, including landing pages, promotional assets, and rewatch content.
Ensuring a consistent, high‑bar attendee journey from pre‑event through onsite execution to post‑event amplification across social, PR, partnerships, and product channels.
Planning and delivering experiences ranging from large‑scale tentpoles to pop‑ups and product launches, managing budgets, timelines, vendors, and workflows.
You’re probably a match if
You have 7+ years of experience bringing brands to life through experiential or brand marketing — ideally (but not limited to) working on large‑scale, high‑profile, and global initiatives.
You understand what makes audiences tick and know how to craft compelling journeys that inform, inspire, and delight.
You are fluent in both digital and in‑person experiences — and know how to bridge the two seamlessly to create cohesive, resonant storytelling.
You have worked in or with agencies and are comfortable managing multiple collaborators, vendors, or stakeholders at once.
You have a strong creative point of view and a deep understanding of how to translate brand objectives into engaging experiential concepts.
You are equally comfortable mixing creativity with strategic thinking — with the ability to prioritize effectively, zoom in on details, and zoom out to see the big picture.
You excel at engaging and influencing cross‑functional stakeholders, and can confidently lead the process from idea to execution.
You have high emotional intelligence, empathy. Sense of humor is a must!
You thrive in fast‑paced environments, enjoy collaborating across teams, and are excited about working on a global stage (frequent travel is part of the fun!).
You are excited about Canva’s mission and passionate about delivering meaningful, beautiful brand experiences at scale.
About The Team As a Senior Experiential Marketing Manager, you will sit within the Experiential Team in Brand Marketing and will play a critical role in helping to build and develop how Canva comes to life across the cultural calendar. In close partnership with the cross‑functional team at Canva, you will support and help execute an overall global experiential strategy, creative, production and execution of proprietary event tentpoles, sponsor integrations, pop‑ups and virtual events in support of Canva’s mission to become the world’s most loved brand.
Other Stuff To Know At Canva we value fairness, and we strive to provide competitive, market‑informed compensation whilst ensuring internal equity within the team in each region. We make hiring decisions based on your skills, experience and our overall assessment of what we observed and learnt in the hiring process. The target daily rate range for this position is USD 808 to USD 1,039. When calculating offers, we make rate decisions based on market data and candidates' skills and experience.
When you signify interest in the Project, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the contractor‑accreditation interview process.
Please note that contractor‑accreditation meetings are conducted virtually.
We celebrate all types of skills and backgrounds at Canva so even if you don’t feel like your skills quite match what’s listed above - we still want to hear from you!
