AI Technical Program Manager (Localisation)

About the role

Canva's International Supergroup is responsible for driving growth and deepening adoption across our key regions worldwide. We are an entrepreneurial, cross-functional team that turns bold strategy into culturally resonant execution. In each country, our mission is to empower all users to design and to make Canva one of the most beloved and culturally iconic brands in the country. This is a senior specialist role within the Localisation Group where you will be partnering with country teams, product teams, and AI/ML stakeholders to build the technical infrastructure for LOTE at Canva as well as robust processes to make sure Canva is LOTE-ready from the get go. You'll drive the design and execution of evaluation frameworks, promote innovation across the team and automate systems that improve the quality, speed, and scalability of localisation across all markets. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role for someone who loves building things that didn't exist before and has a knack for spinning multiple plates at once. You thrive in an environment where priorities shift, initiatives stack up, and no two weeks look the same. You'll be working at the intersection of LLMs and multilingual quality at scale figuring out how to evaluate AI translation across 100+ languages where human baselines are sparse, automating quality signals into CI/CD-style workflows, and ensuring AI translation is good enough to ship.
