A total of 1,271 roles, or 22 percent of its global workforce, are affected. Some people will lose their jobs, others will change roles, and some will be asked to relocate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CEO and co-founder Melanie Perkins wrote a memo to staff and called it the hardest moment in the company's 13-year history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>1. What happened\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Perkins shared the decision in a note titled "An important update on our team", also published on Canva's website. She did not say how many jobs would be cut outright. Canva has not disclosed that number either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memo says "new technology" is changing how people create and use products. But the note does not use the word AI directly. Outlets including ABC News and The Register pointed this out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>2. Why the restructure\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Perkins said Canva's growth had slowed for the first time in a decade. She concluded that small changes would not be enough, and that the company needs to "refound" itself: back to small, empowered teams with real ownership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canva entered 2026 valued at US$40 billion. Since then several investors have marked down its value. According to Forbes Australia, Blackbird cut its internal valuation by 17 percent to US$34.9 billion in August 2026, while T. Rowe Price marked down its shares by 20 percent, implying a valuation of US$30.4 billion as of 31 August.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>3. The structural changes\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Canva will merge its product, growth and platform teams into a single product organisation. Management layers will be simplified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sydney becomes the primary home for more product teams. Canva currently operates in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and works across 37 countries. From January, most hybrid staff are expected in the office two to three days a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>4. Support for departing staff\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>People leaving get at least six months of salary, including statutory entitlements. They also get 12 months of continued healthcare where Canva provides it, and they keep their company MacBook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canva is launching the Canva Collective Fund with grants of up to US$10,000 for departing employees who want to start a business or run a community project. The one-year equity vesting cliff is removed for some recent hires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>5. Industry context\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>This is the latest round of Australian tech job cuts. Atlassian cut 1,600 jobs in March 2026 and said AI let it reduce headcount. WiseTech Global announced 2,000 cuts. Microsoft last week offered voluntary redundancies to 60,000 employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canva itself is trying to turn AI pressure into an opportunity. Last month it revealed Craft, its first foundation model, to serve AI at lower cost.

This matters for tech job seekers, Canva users, and small business owners who rely on design tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Col>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Do not depend on one tool.\u003C\u002Fstrong> If your daily work lives in Canva, learn alternatives via \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fen\u002Fai-tools\">AI Tools\u003C\u002Fa> so product changes do not stall your work.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Broad skills gain value.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Canva itself is reducing subspecialisation and merging roles.
