Sponsorship Manager
Job Description
Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hey, 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 engage our Contractors and Freelancers all over the world to help us meet our crazy big goals. As a Contractor or Freelancer at Canva, you can work remotely in the country listed in this job ad, meaning you have ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.
This is a 4.5 month, full-time contract role.
What you’d be doing in this role
As Canva continues to expand globally, sponsorships are becoming a powerful lever for business growth and strengthening customer relationships. Following a successful first year of sponsorships, we’ve established a proven model that we’re scaling in 2026, maintaining the same exceptional level of service and sponsor experience.
This role sits within the Partnerships & Sponsorships Centre of Excellence (CoE) and plays a critical part in delivering Canva’s sponsorship rollout strategy across our flagship events, with a focus on Canva Create in April 2026. The role ensures every sponsorship is executed seamlessly, delivers measurable ROI, and supports long-term relationship building.
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:
Supporting the delivery of Canva Create sponsorships, managing 6–7 Bronze level sponsors, including kickoff meetings, rollout of sponsorship activations, and managing internal and external reviews of all channel inclusions.
Managing production workflows for activation activity with our experiential agency, Public School, and internal teams to ensure smooth event execution and clear expectations with sponsors.
Supporting sponsorship operations such as ticketing distribution, lead capture, content capture, and sponsor invoicing.
Contributing to reporting, reconciliation, and post-event insights to measure sponsor ROI and inform future sponsorship models.
You're probably a match if
Have experience managing Brand Partnerships or sponsorships across large-scale events or campaigns.
Are highly organised and can manage multiple sponsors, deadlines, and deliverables simultaneously.
Have experience coordinating with product, creative, production, legal, and finance teams to bring sponsorships or partnerships to life.
Bring strong relationship management and communication skills, building trust with sponsors and internal stakeholders alike.
Are proactive, detail-oriented, and solutions-focused — you don’t just get things done, you elevate the outcome.
Thrive in fast-paced environments, bringing clarity and structure to complex, cross-functional work streams.
Deliver excellent customer service, ensuring every sponsor touchpoint feels premium, aligned, and impactful.
Open to flexible working hours, given many of our sponsors are based in the US.
About the team
The Partnerships & Sponsorships CoE team exists to advance Canva’s company goals through external partnerships and sponsorships that inspire our community, amplify our impact, and drive revenue for Canva.
We work cross-functionally with other Marketing, Ecosystem, Enterprise, and Product teams, as well as our Regional teams, to ensure Canva shows up in the right places, in the right way, at the right time.
Other stuff to know
We make hiring decisions to engage contractors based on your experience, skills and passion. When you signify interest in the Project, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the contractor-accreditation interview process.
Please note that contractor-accreditation meetings are conducted virtually.
We celebrate all types of skills and backgrounds at Canva so even if you don’t feel like your skills quite match what’s listed above - we still want to hear from you!
