EducationGrowthLead-MENAP

About the MENAP Team The MENAP Group sits within Canva’s International Supergroup and is responsible for growing Canva’s presence across the Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan. We work across sales, partnerships, community, and growth — combining deep regional market knowledge with Canva’s global platform to bring great design tools to more people in more places. Education is a key strategic investment for the MENAP team. We’re building something significant here, and we’re doing it now when the decisions about how to grow in education will shape the region for years to come. About the Role As the Education Growth Lead for MENAP, you’ll own the strategy and execution for how Canva activates and grows within schools and universities across the region. This isn’t a sales role. Your focus is what happens after: ensuring that the institutions Canva enters genuinely embed it, use it, and expand their adoption on it over time. You’ll build the relationships with education ministries, school networks, and university bodies that create institutional-level traction. You’ll design and deliver programs, like University Champions and Canva for Campus, that turn early access into active, sticky usage. And you’ll work cross-functionally with EDU product management, product marketing, engineering, and analytics to make sure the platform and GTM motion are actually working for education users in this region. While the initial focus is GCC, you’re building the playbook for all of MENAP. The patterns you establish here will influence how Canva approaches education growth across the broader region for years to come. What you’ll do * Develop and own the MENAP Education Growth strategy across school leadership and university sectors, starting with GCC and expanding across the broader MENAP region. * Build and sustain partnerships with education ministries, school networks, regional education authorities, university bodies, and student organisations — including crafting formal MoUs
