Product Manager - CJKI
Job Description
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.
About the Group/Team Canva’s mission is to empower the world to design. With over 220 million users already on board, we have a bold vision to reach 1 billion users. The CJKI Group is dedicated to this mission, pouring our hearts and souls into driving hyperlocalization. We strive to make Canva feel like a local experience in China, Japan, South Korea, and India, ensuring that our platform resonates deeply with users in these regions.
About the Role/Specialty This role is for a Product Manager who focuses on high-impact, high-ambiguity initiatives across Canva’s core growth entry points and platform-level experiences, while bridging Global Big Bets strategy with the real user, business, and market dynamics of CJKI. You will operate in a highly complex organizational environment, driving alignment, making clear trade-offs, and delivering measurable outcomes. You are not building a small feature—you are reshaping how users experience Canva the first time, the second time, and the Nth time they open the product.

Define MBR metrics (input, output & guardrails) and continuously track impact
Product Strategy & Decision-Making

Cross-functional Collaboration & Influence

Drive alignment and execution without direct reporting authority
Communicate progress, risks, and key decisions clearly to senior stakeholders, including Big Bets leaders
Experimentation & Iteration
Reduce uncertainty through A/B testing, phased rollouts, and experimentation frameworks
Learn quickly, iterate rapidly, and strike the right balance between speed and quality
Qualifications
What we're looking for
Must-have
5–8+ years of Product Management experience, with ownership of high-impact, cross-functional initiatives
Strong experience in Growth, Core Experience, Platform, or Entry-point products
Proven ability to define problems, set strategy, and deliver outcomes in highly ambiguous environments

Fluent in English and comfortable working in a global context
Nice-to-have
Experience with product growth, distribution entry points, growth platforms
Proven success handling regional differentiation and localization in global products
