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.
We’re looking for a Learning Partner to partner with our PH Speciality Leads, People Partners and Canva University to own the program design and strategy for the 3 biggest specialities in the Philippines: Customer Service, Marketing, and Design. This is both a strategic and delivery role and an incredible opportunity to make an impact on our capability and learning strategy as Canva continues to evolve towards a Skills & Goals based organisation.
