Join the team redefining how the world experiences design
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
This role is based in Berlin, with a hybrid working arrangement. Our Berlin hub is a place for collaboration and creative energy and we want you close enough to the German market to genuinely feel it. You'll have the flexibility to work in a way that suits you, with meaningful time in the office to connect with the team.
About the Role
As the Creative Strategist for Germany, you'll be the creative performance engine behind Canva's paid and organic marketing in the region — working at the intersection of data, storytelling, and cultural nuance to drive real user growth. This is a hands-on, insight-led role where local knowledge, analytical curiosity, and creative excellence drive outcomes. You won't manage a direct team, but you'll have real influence — over creative direction, agency partners, and the cross-functional teams who help bring ideas to life.
What You'll Do
What We're Looking For
You bring real, hands-on experience in creative strategy or performance marketing and you know what it takes to build creative that actually performs. You understand platform-native formats deeply, you're rigorous about testing, and you use data to sharpen your thinking rather than replace it. You have genuine knowledge of the German market — not surface-level familiarity — and you move comfortably between global teams, agency partners, and local execution. You're self-directed, collaborative, and you take ownership of outcomes.
You're Probably a Match If
About the Group/Team
