Social Content Videographer ( 12 month Fixed Term Contract)

Where and how you can work

This role is a 12 month Fixed Term Contract -  working full-time hours per week.

Our flagship office is in Sydney Australia but weve made our way from down under to a hub San Francisco which is now home to our US operations. This is a fully remote role based in the US - Los Angeles is strongly preferred so you can overlap with our Sydney-based team during key creative touch points. Youll be set up to produce content independently from home and Canva provides all the gear you need to do your best work.

We offer flexibility in how and where you work we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

What youd be doing in this role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think thats all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things youll be working on when you start but this will likely evolve.

This isnt a traditional videographer role. Think less receives a brief shoots delivers back and more creative collaborator who also happens to be great with a camera (or a phone). Youll be embedded in Canvas organic social team - the people behind @Canva on Instagram TikTok Facebook and LinkedIn - helping to build Canvas presence in the US at the speed of culture.

At the moment this role is focused on:

• Shooting and editing social-first content primarily on iPhone - fast reactive and built for TikTok and Instagram

• Concepting original ideas and bringing them to the table not just executing briefs

• Monitoring US trends pop culture and breaking moments in real time and turning them into content same-day when needed

• Collaborating closely with the Social Lead to develop entertainment-led series and culturally resonant brand acts that build audience engagement at scale

• Delivering a mix of lo-fi reactive content and more polished cinematic edits - knowing when each is right

• Jumping into light graphic or meme formats if thats in your wheelhouse

Youre probably a match if:

• Youre a social-first creator equally comfortable shooting on an iPhone as you are behind a camera and you know which one to reach for

• You live on TikTok and Instagram - you understand hooks trends and what makes people stop scrolling and you bring that instinct to every brief

• You concept not just execute you bring ideas to the table proactively and can take one from spark to post independently

• Youve worked at speed: Reactive same-day production is something youre used to not something that stresses you out

• Youre fluent in Adobe Premiere Pro; CapCut or DaVinci Resolve works too

• You have some experience in a corporate or agency environment and handle structure and process well
