About The Position
The Localisation group is responsible for the localisation of Canva’s product, marketing, and content as well as the tools, processes, and assets that make this possible. We sit within the International Supergroup but we work closely with stakeholders in Growth and across the whole organisation. Our mission is to celebrate the diversity of our global users and make their interactions with Canva delightful by delivering a hyperlocalised experience. You will be part of a small but powerful MENAP (Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan) team and there will be lots of opportunities to collaborate with many other specialities beyond localisation so we value energy and adaptability over specific experience or years of experience. Every month, more than 100 million Canva users create a design in one of the 100 languages other than English, that Canva supports. The Localisation specialty is a small team of linguists, project managers, and engineers distributed throughout the company. As a Product, Localisation and Growth Partner for Pakistan, you'll bring your product experience, cultural and linguistic knowledge to all aspects of Canva for Pakistani users, ensuring our users have the best possible Canva experience in English and Urdu where appropriate. You will be the voice of Pakistani users and the champion for culturally relevant content. Ultimately, you’ll be leading the charge in Empowering Pakistani to Design!
