    Description
    About the Team

    At Canva, we create tools that empower the world to design. Our mission is to democratize design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform.

    Since launching in August 2013, Canva has grown exponentially — we're one of the world's fastest-growing startups, and the journey has only just begun.

    International is becoming Canva's biggest growth driver in 2026 and beyond.

    To reach our foundational goal of having 1 in 5 internet users use Canva every month, we're shifting from translating English successes to implementing truly local strategies that resonate with and convert local audiences.


    The SEO group spans the globe with keyword researchers, technical SEO specialists, content specialists, copywriters, engineers, data analysts, designers, and operations specialists.

    As the Arabic SEO Lead across key markets (Saudi Arabia, UAE, GCC, and Egypt), you'll be part of the Logged Out Experience (LOX) Group and International Supergroup, working in a dual alignment model — embedded in your region team locally while contributing to Central SEO globally.

    About the Role


    You'll lead Canva's SEO growth for Arabic across key markets (Saudi Arabia, UAE, GCC, and Egypt) — defining, executing, and scaling a strategy that reflects the unique realities of your market.

    This isn't about following a global playbook; it's about building one for your region.


    You'll own the end-to-end SEO strategy across technical, content, and authority-building pillars — verifying the opportunity, prioritising what matters, and delivering measurable growth in sessions, signups, and engagement.


    Your goal is to help Canva reach 20% market penetration within the next 2–3 years, starting from our current 5%.

    As the Arabic SEO Lead, you'll operate at the intersection of local strategy and global systems.

    You'll be embedded in your Country team as a strategic partner to your Region Manager, while also contributing to Canva's centralised SEO engine within the Logged Out Experience (LOX) Group.


    You'll be supported by a global network of experts — International SEO Leads, Technical SEOs, Product Managers, and Content Specialists — and have access to Canva's proprietary SEO platforms and best-in-class third-party tools.

    You'll also collaborate closely with your International SEO Strategist, who provides capability leadership, coaching, and alignment across markets.

    Success in this role means running a high-performing, locally embedded SEO operation that:

    • Achieves measurable impact and market penetration goals.
    • Operates autonomously while aligned to Canva's global systems and standards.
    • Surfaces insights, innovations, and frameworks that help scale the Truly Local SEO model across 40+ markets.


    You'll thrive here if you're both a strategist and an operator — equally comfortable running audits, leading discussions with your Region Manager, mentoring local SEOs, and proposing scalable solutions that improve how we grow internationally.

    What you'll do

    Strategic SEO Leadership

    Lead the end-to-end SEO strategy for Saudi Arabia, UAE, GCC, and Egypt, spanning technical, content, and authority pillars.

    Translate market insights into a focused, high-impact roadmap aligned with Canva's international growth goals.

    Continuously evaluate market performance, adapt to shifts in user behaviour, and prioritise the highest-ROI initiatives.

    Represent SEO as a strategic function — not an execution layer — in country planning discussions (your strategies align with your region's strategies, and contribute to building our global
