Mexico Product Localization Lead

Hey, hello, hiya, 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 headquarters is in sunny Sydney, Australia, but our team spans the globe. While we support flexible, remote-friendly ways of working, for this role, we’re focusing on Mexico City, Mexico, so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing.

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.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

Owning Canva’s localisation strategy for Mexico, identifying opportunities to improve cultural relevance, clarity, tone, and overall user experience.

Partnering closely with local and regional teams on product growth initiatives, contributing localisation insights that influence market-specific priorities and roadmap decisions.

Analysing user behaviour, activation, and subscription funnels to uncover opportunities for growth and localisation improvements.

Providing cultural insights and strategic guidance to global marketing, content, and cross-functional teams to ensure experiences resonate authentically with Mexican users.

Collaborating with external localisation partners, linguists, and translators to deliver high-quality es-MX experiences across all touchpoints.

Identifying opportunities to scale localisation learnings across Latin American Spanish-speaking markets while preserving local authenticity and nuance.

Acting as the voice of Mexican users internally, championing culturally relevant experiences that help Canva become one of the most loved brands in Mexico.

You’re probably a match if

You have strong experience in localisation, internationalisation, growth, product, brand, or marketing roles focused on the Mexican market.

You deeply understand Mexican culture, digital behaviours, and how localisation impacts user experience and product adoption.

You’re fluent in both Spanish and English, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

You’re comfortable working with data to evaluate funnel performance, identify trends, and recommend improvements that enhance user experience.

You thrive in highly collaborative, cross-functional environments and enjoy influencing stakeholders across multiple specialties.

You’re both strategic and hands-on — comfortable navigating ambiguity while driving execution and delivering measurable outcomes.

Experience working across LATAM Spanish-speaking markets or within SaaS/product-led technology companies will be highly valued.
