CJKI Product Program Manager

We're looking for someone who combines strong product instincts with the discipline to make complex, multi-team work happen. You should be comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, and equally comfortable holding a plan together when several teams depend on it.

Skills, Competencies, and Attributes:

• Product Sense: You can work out what to build and why, not just execute a requirement someone else has defined. You can point to a product decision you made yourself and what came of it.
• Structured Thinking: You break ambiguous problems down methodically, reasoning through edge cases before committing to a direction — and you pick up unfamiliar domains quickly.
• Consumer Product Experience: 3+ years of product or closely related experience, including owning consumer (B2C) products end-to-end, with a deep understanding of Chinese users and the local landscape.
• Data Fluency: You pull and interrogate your own data, design clean experiments, and combine quantitative signal with user insight to make decisions.
• Program and Delivery Management: You can run several workstreams at once, hold a realistic view of scope, dependencies and timelines, and raise risks early with options rather than late with excuses.
• Stakeholder Influence: You build trust quickly across functions and drive alignment without formal authority, keeping everyone working from the same picture.
• Communication and Documentation: You write specs people understand on one read, keep work tracked, and keep stakeholders updated before they have to ask. Fluent English and comfortable working with teams outside China.

Nice-to-have

• A technical background, or enough grounding to hold a substantive conversation with engineering.
• Experience in growth or subscription domains.
• Experience handling regional differentiation and localisation in a global product.

By bringing these skills and attributes to Canva, you will play a crucial role in driving our product initiatives forward and contributing to our mission of empowering the world to design.
