What youd be doing in this role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA and thats where the magic happens. This role sits at the intersection of People Technology and AI helping us transform how our People team operates through intelligent AI and automation.

The AI Enablement Partner is a specialist role within our HR Tech team focused on designing building and scaling intelligent automation across the People technology ecosystem. This role bridges the gap between what our systems can do today and what they should be doing tomorrowusing low-code automation platforms AI agents and smart integrations to eliminate repetitive work and accelerate decision-making.

This is not a traditional systems support role. Its a builders rolewhere youll be hands-on with automation tools like Workato experimenting with AI-powered copilots and agents and working cross-platform to connect the dots across our entire People tech stack. Youll also partner directly with teams across the People org understanding how they work and co-designing AI and automation solutions that actually fit their day-to-day.

At the moment this role is focused on:

• Designing and building automations that remove repetitive work across our People tech stack

• Developing AI-powered solutions like copilots agents and intelligent workflows to improve self-service and support

• Working with our IT team to connect systems like Workday SmartRecruiters and CultureAmp through scalable integrations

• Ensuring clean structured analytics-ready data through automation and validation workflows

• Acting as a force multiplier across the PSA team supporting troubleshooting and scaling impact

• Continuously improving automation performance reliability and ROI across the ecosystem

• Serve as buffer capacity for other HR Systems Analyst roles during peak periods.

Youre probably a match if:

• Youve built and shipped production-ready automations using platforms like Workato N8N or similar ideally ones that gave entire teams hours back in their week.

• Youve worked in HR Tech before though were equally open to strong builders from adjacent domains who are curious about the People problem set.

• Youre deep in the AI builder space. Youve shipped LLM copilots agents or intelligent workflows and understand their real-world applications

• Youve spent time in a consulting or L&D capacity whether thats internal advisory change enablement or building team capability. You know the best automation only lands when people actually use it so you treat adoption enablement and training as part of the build not an afterthought.

• You think in systems not silos and can design across complex tech ecosystems

• You have strong data instincts and care about accuracy structure and downstream impact

• Youre a clear communicator who can translate technical concepts into simple actionable ideas

• You have a bias for action spotting inefficiencies and turning them into scalable solutions
