Seoul, Korea
A 12-month marketing design contract at Canva's Korea team — useful exposure to one of the most recognizable global design brands.

Worth a look for designers in Korea wanting an APAC tech name on their resume.
Sydney, Australia
Canva is one of the most influential design tools on the planet, so leading B2B creative there means shaping how millions of teams think about design. The 12-month contract format limits the long-term upside, but the scope and brand cachet make it a worthwhile stint.

A contract gig sitting inside Canva's sprawling brand and content org, making the kind of fast, platform-native video that fills feeds. More production than product, but a foot in the door at one of design's biggest cultural engines.
