Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!

We’re looking for the next generation of Canvanauts!

Canva’s 12-week, remote-friendly program runs from early December to late February, giving you the chance to work on meaningful, real-life projects from start to finish. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit our campus and experience the magic of Canva in person—consider your summer sorted.

Throughout the internship, you'll be supported by a dedicated Host and Buddy—your go-to people for guidance, support, and all the inside scoop on life at Canva.

You’ll be part of a welcoming and inclusive Early Talent community of peers that take pride in Canva’s culture of being good humans and empowering each other to achieve our big goals.

• Supporting Content Production: Assist with scripting, filming, and editing short-form videos that connect with our audience. You’ll learn how to build content that captures attention from the very first second.
• Developing Filming & Editing Skills: Use mobile apps and Canva tools to produce content. You’ll get hands-on experience filming and editing social video content.
• Collaborate with the Creative Team: Work closely with social media managers and creatives to brainstorm, refine, and deliver content. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced Canvanauts and grow your creative skills.
