Social Content Designer (Video)

Canva is seeking a Social Content Designer (Video) to join our Content Studio team within the Global Content & Discovery supergroup. This role focuses on creating customizable video templates and assets that empower users to produce high-performing, culturally relevant content across platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Key responsibilities include designing short-form video templates, translating cultural and platform trends into user-friendly assets, building sequences and transitions that reflect real platform behaviors, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to maintain alignment. The role also involves delivering content at pace while balancing craft, consistency, and scalability, participating in trend reviews, and contributing to experimentation across motion, video editing, and AI-assisted content creation.

The ideal candidate is deeply immersed in social platforms, skilled in video editing and motion design, and understands what performs and why. They should be able to convert platform trends into templates usable by non-experts, be curious about creator culture and the evolving role of short-form video, and be collaborative, iterative, and comfortable with rapid creative production. A motivation to empower people to express their ideas through social content is essential.

Canva offers equity packages, an inclusive parental leave policy, an annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support wellbeing, social connection, and office setup, and flexible leave options that empower employees to be a force for good, take time to recharge, and support them personally.

The Content Studio team is on a mission to empower the world to design by creating world-class templates and creative assets that inspire users, unlock new use cases, and showcase the best of Canva’s product capabilities. We work at the intersection of culture, creativity, and product, partnering closely with teams across Video, Editing, AI, and Discovery to ensure Canva stays at the forefront of visual communication globally.
