Sales Development Representative - Flourish
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.
Where and how you can work
The buzzing Canva London campus features several buildings around beautiful leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You'll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef, Molly, and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.
When you join our team in the UK, you'll also be joining forces with Flourish, who we acquired in 2022 and is an exciting part of our Canva product. Flourish enables everyone to change the way they tell stories with data by creating rich, animated data visualisations and other interactive content that can be embedded anywhere - including in Canva!
What you’d be doing in this role
At Canva, we believe that design can empower the world. Our platform enables people to bring their ideas to life through beautifully crafted visual content. We're looking for a Sales Development Representative to join our team in London, supporting our Flourish Sales and Success team.
Role Overview:
As a Sales Development Representative, you’ll have the opportunity to identify, develop, and nurture strategic partnerships that drive revenue growth and strengthen customer relationships. You'll collaborate with the Sales and Success team to identify new business opportunities, optimise existing partnerships, and ensure the successful implementation and utilisation of Canva's products and services, namely Flourish.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
Collaborating closely with the Sales and Success team to identify and pursue strategic partnership opportunities.
Researching and analysing market trends and potential business opportunities within the EMEA region, aligning with company goals.
Developing and maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders, including clients, partners, and industry contacts.
Creating and executing business development strategies that drive revenue growth and expand Canva's market presence.
Supporting the Sales team by providing insights, market intelligence, and strategic recommendations to enhance their sales efforts.
Working cross-functionally with marketing, product, and customer success teams to ensure alignment and effective execution of business development initiatives.
You're probably a match if:
You have 1.5-2 years of experience in business development, sales, or a similar role within the technology or SaaS industry.
You have a proven track record of successfully identifying and executing partnerships that drive revenue growth.
You get a kick out of collaborating, and bring excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills.
You bring a high sense of agency - you’re comfortable making decisions and are goal oriented.
You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and can manage multiple projects simultaneously.
You're familiar with design or marketing tools, and an understanding of the SaaS industry being a plus.
You have experience with Salesforce, Outreach Tools and cold calling.
About the team:
Flourish is Canva’s powerful data storytelling platform, built to help organisations transform complex data into interactive, beautiful visualisations that drive real impact. The team supports a growing global customer base, from media outlets and non-profits to enterprise brands and government bodies. As an SDR, you’ll be joining a mission-driven team focused on introducing new clients to the magic of Flourish, helping them discover how our tools can simplify data communication, accelerate decision-making, and unlock new storytelling potential. We’re a close, collaborative crew that values curiosity, empathy, and a passion for empowering others through design.
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.
Here's a taste of what's on offer:
Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
