Education Growth Lead - UKI

Location:

London, United Kingdom

What you’d be doing in this role:

• Owning Education as a growth vertical in UK & Ireland — driving activation, repeat usage, and measurable adoption across teachers and students.
• Designing and executing UK & Ireland's education growth strategy — from grassroots teacher engagement to municipality-level partnerships.
• Shifting the focus from “train” to “activate & retain” — embedding Canva into everyday classroom workflows.
• Aligning Sales, Marketing, Content, Product, and Partnerships around clear education growth outcomes.
• Identifying friction in onboarding and reducing barriers to sustained usage at scale.
• Building scalable, locally relevant initiatives that turn education into a compounding acquisition and frequency engine.

You're probably a match if:

• You have built or scaled something measurable — a market, a vertical, a segment — and can clearly articulate the growth levers behind it.
• You think in activation, retention, and habit formation — not just awareness or top-line sales.
• You are hands-on and comfortable operating without a rigid playbook.
• You can navigate both grassroots environments and strategic conversations.
• You thrive in cross-functional environments and can influence without authority.
• You are curious, adaptable, and excited about shaping a vertical that doesn’t yet have a fully defined playbook.
