Our mission is to build secure cultures and behaviours across the entire organisation supporting every team in how they engage with cyber security.

Lead ad-hoc security consulting engagements with business teams (e.g. Finance Marketing GenAI) to identify risks and implement practical people-centred solutions
Own build and refine the Security Champions program expanding it beyond engineering into the wider organisation
Design deliver and maintain security trainings and education content tailored to different audiences and learning styles
Create and maintain communication formats focused on knowledge sharing from all-hands presentations to async modules
Build and refine security processes and standards that address the needs of the broader business
Help mManage compliance and onboarding training in partnership with Canva U (our internal Learning & Development team).
Build strong working relationships across Security Risk Trust & Safety and key business partners
What were looking for
Strong written and verbal communication skills able to work with Canvanauts from varied backgrounds expertise levels and professional needs
A solid baseline understanding of organisational cyber security risk (e.g. social engineering insider threat shadow IT) and appropriate remediation approaches
Experience implementing processes writing standards or building guidelines to address security risk systematically
Proven ability to drive projects through other teams with stakeholder buy-in
Experience supporting programs or services to evolve based on feedback and operate effectively over the long term
Someone who can tackle problems with confidence dive into unknown spaces and bring others along for the ride
Whats in it for you
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but youll experience lots of moments of magic connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva too. We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
