Job Description

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. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you. 


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.


About the team
The Global Sales Enablement Lead will be a key member of the Sales Strategy & Operations and the Sales & Success leadership team in support of Canva’s continued growth. The Sales & Success function is responsible for driving revenue from F500, Strategic, Enterprise, Mid-Market and SMB companies to increase Canva’s B2B revenue and penetration, applying a product led approach. The Sales Strategy & Operations function sits within Sales & Success, and supports Sales & Success in driving B2B revenue in a scalable and sustainable way, through reporting and analytics, incentive design, process, tooling and enablement across onboarding and continuous learning and development.

  • You'll partner with Sales Strategy & Operations to measure the effectiveness of enablement programs. Support the development and roll out of product led playbooks
  • You're passionate about developing close relationships with product and marketing to ensure that the Sales & Success team has the most effective content and collateral on product updates, competitive landscape, the Canva value proposition and the future of visual communications. You will develop product launch readiness checklists, so updates on new product features are appropriately cascaded to the teams.
  • You'll evaluate our current enablement and content tooling and partner with the Sales systems team to iterate and improve. You will continue to explore vendor relationships as needed for tooling and trainings to improve productivity
  • You will lead change management around large initiatives that impact Sales & Success (eg. incentive changes, quota changes, planning for new fiscal year etc). You will own our annual Sales Kick Off programming as and when the need arises

You're probably a match if:

  • You have deep Sales Enablement expertise building and leading Sales Enablement Teams. You have an in depth understanding of Sales skills, methodologies, playbooks and processes and has lead large scale sales training in the past
  • You love to collaborate. Building trust and gaining consensus with collaborators across all levels of Sales & Success leadership, product and marketing
  • You are passionate about being a strategic problem solver and executor. Can think high level and plan strategic roadmaps based on needs of our teams but can also roll up sleeves, ensure seamless execution and provide direction to teams
  • You have experience in rapidly scaling tech (preferable SaaS) startups, leading enablement programs at scale for organizations of 100+ Sales & Success team members. Big plus if experience in product led sales motions
  • You have a consistent track record of leading change management for large scale initials (eg incentive changes, go to market changes etc) across large Sales & Success teams
  • You have a genuine interest in learning and development, career development (both within enablement team and broadly across Sales & success organization), coaching and mentoring
