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.
Where and how you can work
Our flagship campus is in Sydney Australia but in this project you’ll be working remotely from wherever you are located. That means you have the ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.
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.
About the role
We are looking for an experienced Curriculum Developer to work with the creative team to create curriculum-aligned Math templates for K-8 students in the US and AU. This is a rare opportunity for Math educators accustomed to working independently and looking to develop their craft by challenging themselves creatively. This is a 6-month freelance project for 20 hours per week, based remotely in the Philippines. We will also consider applicants based in Australia.
Canva connects with the education community as a go-to platform for students, parents, teachers, and schools, as they explore more creative and collaborative features to suit their needs. Providing education users with innovative tools also means supporting them with an array of learning materials that are both ready-to-use and easily adaptable. We also need to ensure that these materials are vetted by subject matter experts, developed in line with curriculum guidelines and academic standards of various locales, and created with engaging and flexible copy for users to put their own spin on it. As a Curriculum Developer, you will be expected to apply your expertise in the US and AU Math curriculum for K-8 by providing topics and learning assessments and turning them into learning resource templates.
