  • Develop workflows to automate routine activities
  • Explore new AI solutions and share successful practices with the team
  • Spot inefficiencies in workflows and suggest AI-driven improvements
  • Record automation strategies and add them to the shared resources

Qualifications
What we're looking for

  • A native-Japanese speaker with business-level English.
  • Excellent grasp of Japanese language - technically strong with a flair for either structured or creative style of writing (including spelling and grammatical structure).
  • You are meticulous with details, style, and tone, writing with clarity and empathy to deliver what is needed.
  • You are quick with ideas, coming up with original copy that can catch our user's eye, but can still match Canva's voice and brand guidelines.
  • You have an eye for social trends in Japan and the evolving language that comes with them.
  • You are able to understand a brief from stakeholders, research accordingly, and convert that brief into excellent landing page copy to meet the project's needs.

AI Fluency & Technical Comfort

  • Comfortable using AI tools for drafting, research, and analysis
  • Basic understanding of how LLMs work
  • Not afraid of learning new software
