## Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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.

This role is based in Melbourne, and we're looking for someone who calls Melbourne home. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely and to come together on campus for meaningful in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most.

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. This role is focused on:

- Turning creative briefs into finished AI-generated short-form videos, end to end

- Choosing the right tools, iterating on prompts and outputs, and hitting the quality bar on time

- Directing the "shoot" through prompting rather than a camera, bringing real composition, lighting, colour, motion, and pacing craft to every piece

- Building and maintaining your own library of prompt techniques, references, and workflows that raise the bar on AI-generated video and can be shared with the craft team

- Working within the quality, safety, and brand standards set by the AI Photography & Videography Lead, and flagging risks around realism, representation, bias, or copyright as they arise

- Giving structured, specific feedback on AI video tools and model outputs that feeds the team's quality governance and helps improve them

- Staying across the fast-moving AI video landscape and bringing the best techniques back into Canva's workflows

You're probably a match if:

- You bring deep visual storytelling craft – composition, lighting, colour, motion, and pacing – likely from art direction, creative direction, or content production

- You’re a hands-on, cross-platform creator with experience using generative AI video tools such as Higgsfield, Runway, Kling, CapCut, Veo, Pika, or Sora

- You have strong prompt-engineering skills, a rapid iteration loop, and a portfolio that demonstrates both

- You’ve delivered high volumes of creative content to tight deadlines without compromising quality, and you can independently manage an end-to-end production pipeline from a brief

- You have strong creative judgement and know when an AI-generated result is ready,and when it needs another pass

- You give and receive specific, craft-focused feedback, and you raise risks and blockers early rather than trying to solve everything alone

- You’re genuinely energised by AI-generated content and comfortable working with ambiguity and rapidly evolving tools

- Experience creating social-first video for platforms such as TikTok, Reels, or Shorts is a bonus, as is familiarity with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, basic Python, or prompt tooling

About the team: Content Studio creates and scales the visual content that powers Canva’s platform as part of the broader Content group. Within it, the Photo and Video team defines the creative strategy for Canva’s media library, sets the quality bar, and develops the tools and workflows needed to produce, enrich, and scale content globally,all supporting Canva’s growing AI-enabled marketplace of templates, photos, and elements.

As a hands-on producer within this team, you’ll help build Canva’s AI video production capability at scale while maintaining the exceptional quality Canva is known for.
