- Drive new customer acquisition: Focus primarily on landing new enterprise customers through disciplined outbound prospecting, targeted account planning, and effective management of inbound opportunities.

- Identify and develop expansion opportunities: Leverage customer usage, adoption trends, and account insights to uncover opportunities for broader enterprise adoption, connecting Canva’s value to additional departments and business priorities.

- Collaborate to deliver customer success: Partner with Solutions Consulting, Customer Success, Product, and Marketing to navigate complex customer requirements, ensure successful implementation, and establish a foundation for long-term growth.
