Kamusta, 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.
What you’d be doing in this role
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.
As Localization Lead, you will own Canva’s product and localization experience in Indonesia, ensuring that Indonesian users have the best possible Canva experience. You will be the voice of Indonesian users and a champion for culturally relevant, locally resonant content across the product.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
- Own Canva’s product and localization strategy in Indonesia.
- Contribute to the product roadmap for Indonesia, including feature launches, payment methods, authentication methods, and other market specific capabilities.
- Analyse the active user and subscription funnels to identify opportunities for growth and improvement.
- Evaluate and adapt global messaging, campaigns, and product experiences to resonate with Indonesian users.
- Provide cultural insights and strategic guidance to global product, marketing, and content teams.
- Work closely with linguists, translators, and local partners to ensure clarity, tone, and cultural nuance across all Indonesian language experiences.
- Partner with the Indonesian Language Manager to develop language style guides, tone of voice, and localization best practices.
You're probably a match if:
- You have 5+ years of experience in product and localisation within a high-growth SaaS or product-led company.
- You bring a deep understanding of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem, cultural nuances, and consumer behaviour.
- You have strong analytical skills and know how to measure, interpret, and optimise funnel performance to drive meaningful impact.
- You have a proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence stakeholders across product, marketing, content, and regional specialty teams.
- You’re fluent in Bahasa Indonesia and English, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- You’re a strategic thinker who’s equally comfortable setting direction and rolling up your sleeves to execute.
- You’re genuinely passionate about Canva’s mission to empower the world to design.
Why Join Us
You’ll play a foundational role in growing Canva’s presence in Indonesia, shaping the strategy, brand, and creative impact for millions of Indonesian users. This is a rare opportunity to lead localization for one of the world’s fastest growing technology companies and leave a lasting mark on Indonesia’s creative economy.
