Canva

7d • Remote

About The Position

This role is a 6-month engagement, paid on a per-output model, suitable for someone with availability of approximately 30-40 hours per week. The position is focused on supporting teams in Manila to best support collaboration. The role involves building and launching various tracking systems and dashboards, managing content pipelines, and coordinating with different teams and stakeholders.

Requirements

• Task-tracking skills and ability to bring order to fast-moving, high-profile programs.
• CMS experience, ideally publishing on an editorial or news-style site.
• Comfort coordinating shoots — booking exec time, liaising with video editors, and tracking turnaround.
• Persistence and diplomacy in chasing approvals across multiple busy stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of SEO/AEO basics — metadata, alt text, tagging.
• Ability to stay calm under pressure, managing fast-moving news cycles and shifting schedules.

Responsibilities

• Build and launch an editorial operations tracker in Monday, covering the full Newsroom and podcast pipeline — deadlines, shoots, contributor deliverables, and approvals.
• Own day-to-day CMS publishing, applying Canva's metadata, tagging, alt text, and formatting checklists across every live piece.
• Manage the editorial calendar and build a tracking system for the leadership social content program — shoot schedules, video editor turnaround, and content status.
• Design and launch a structured story intake system for GTM, product, and marketing teams, routing submissions into the shared tracker and delivering a weekly triage digest.
• Extend the tracker to cover a season of the Prompted podcast — running scheduling, contributor coordination, and internal comms, and coordinating cross-team dependencies.
• Build a performance reporting dashboard pulling Newsroom, podcast, and leadership social metrics into one view, and document SOPs and recommendations for the next 6–12 months.
