Hiya, 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, Australia but we have a swanky new office in Shoreditch, London that has all the bells and whistles.
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.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
You're probably a match if
We’re looking for someone who brings genuine depth in physical security and safety, who translates into action - not just familiarity with the frameworks. You’re comfortable being the only person in the room with your expertise, and you know how to communicate so it resonates with a wide range of stakeholders. You take ownership, close the loop without being asked, and bring solutions alongside the problems you raise. You’re calm when things get complex, and you build trust quickly with the people around you.
About the Protective Security Group
The Protective Security Group, part of the Security & Trust Supergroup, protects Canva’s people, spaces, and operations from physical threats and safety risks. We take a risk-based, proactive approach - preventing, detecting, and responding to incidents while enabling our teams to do the best work of their lives. We work globally, collaborate cross-functionally, and continuously raise our standards as Canva grows. As Canva scales across new markets and geographies, the work we do becomes increasingly critical to protecting the people and communities that make it all possible.
About the Role
As Canva scales, protecting our people and spaces is critical to achieving our crazy big goals.
As a Safety and Security Manager, you’ll report into the Head of Protective Security and serve as the regional lead for physical security and workplace safety across the EMEA region. You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, guiding security and safety in the region, proactively identifying risks before they escalate, and owning local delivery.
At the same time, you’ll collaborate as part of a globally connected Protective Security team, contributing to and implementing global programs that raise the bar for how we protect our people and organisation. This is not a cyber security role.
What's in it for you?
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
