Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the people agenda across South East Asia by adapting global HR strategies to local regulatory and cultural contexts. Manage a team of People Partners and Relations specialists while providing direct HRBP support to a specific client group.
Requires proven experience as a senior HR Business Partner in a complex global environment with deep knowledge of the Philippines and SEA employment landscapes. Must have a track record of leading people teams and the ability to influence senior leaders within a matrixed organization.
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.
This role is based at our Manila campus and follows a hybrid way of working. You have choice in where and how you work. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
At Canva, we’re building the world’s most empowering design platform and that starts with our people.
We’re looking for a Regional People Lead to own the people agenda across South East Asia. This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of global strategy and local reality; someone who can translate, adapt, and embed people initiatives in a way that works for our teams on the ground, while building strong connections back to our global People function.
South East Asia is Canva’s largest region outside of ANZ, with ~900 Canvanauts across the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, representing ~20% of our global team. Each market brings its own regulatory environment, cultural nuance, and organisational dynamics. You'll bring deep knowledge of all of that to make Canva a better place to work across the region.
You'll lead a small, high-impact team of four across People Partnering, People Relations, and Location Partners and hold a client group of your own, keeping you grounded in the day-to-day reality of the business.
Adapt and operationalise global People initiatives for the region, ensuring they're effective, locally relevant, and compliant.
Pressure-test whether global approaches will land well in SEA, flag gaps early, and shape how changes are communicated and implemented on the ground.
Feed regional trends, risks, and opportunities back to HQ so our global strategy stays grounded in local reality.
Provide targeted People Partnering support to a defined client group within the region.
Support local org design and reorgs, total rewards benchmarking, country expansion, and the rollout of people initiatives and programs.
Be the in-timezone, trusted partner for sensitive people matters and complex regional challenges.
Own regional employment compliance and people risk in partnership with Location Partners and Employment Legal.
Be the regional subject matter expert on local legislation, regulation, and cultural nuance across SEA's diverse markets.
Act as the escalation point for complex employee relations matters and lead the response to critical regional events such as natural disasters, safety incidents, or major regulatory shifts.
Deeply understand the benefit offering across each country consulting on local benefit gaps that impact talent attraction and retention where COEs may not have full visibility.
Help scale Canva’s culture in a way that feels locally authentic and inclusive.
Monitor engagement and organisational health across the region, using people data and insights to improve engagement, retention, and employee experience.
Support regional connection, events, and leadership presence.
Lead and develop a team of four across People Partnering, People Relations, and Location Partners.
Set regional priorities, ensure clear ownership across the People ecosystem, and coach your team to thrive in a matrixed, global environment.
Provide leadership and connection for the local People team, drive alignment and connection across different People functions to ensure cohesive delivery.
Proven experience as a senior HR Business Partner in a complex, global environment
Deep knowledge of the Philippines, and ideally South East Asia, employment landscape including regulatory requirements, cultural nuance, and local market dynamics
Track record of leading and developing People teams, including across dotted-line and matrixed relationships
Strong judgement in navigating ambiguity and complex, sensitive people decisions
Ability to influence without authority and build trust with senior leaders
Comfortable operating with significant autonomy while knowing when to bring others in
A pragmatic, thoughtful approach with a genuine bias for action
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard — and we do — but you’ll also experience moments of connection, impact, and growth along the way.
We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion — and how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
We celebrate all types of skills and backgrounds at Canva — even if you don’t feel like you meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you.
Please note that interviews are conducted virtually
Empower the world to design.
We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world. Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%. We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.
