Graphic Designer - Templates (Education)
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 Australia but in this project you’ll be working remotely from wherever you are located. That means you have the ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.
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.
Education is at the forefront of Canva’s content goals. The platform has empowered teachers and students to create and design for free through Canva for Education. To better support them in online and offline learning, we continuously expand our library with grade-level-appropriate and subject-specific templates suitable for printing and digital delivery. To do so, we need the help of talented designers that can create and curate amazing content and also help pave the way for the future of our template library. The templates created will be for educators and students utilising the K-12 Curriculum in subjects including Math, Science, English Language Arts and Visual Arts.
About the project
Our template library needs a range of fresh, varied, and beautiful designs - so we’re after self-motivated designers who would love to have room for creative freedom in answering briefs. You’ll be creating a multitude of Canva assets including worksheets, infographics, posters, videos, presentations, Instagram stories, social media content (video and static), book covers, banners (video and static) and educational content.
We’re interested in engaging freelance designers for a 6-month initial period. Final designs will need to be submitted using Canva – all assets such as photos and illustrations will be provided by the Canva team. We will provide guidance and assistance on how to upload elements and create designs in our easy-to-use platform.
