Canva, the Australian design software company, announces a major restructure that will cut hundreds of jobs and change roles for some employees. Multiple outlets report the company plans to remove more than 1,000 positions, affecting about one-in-five staff, and also involves relocations to centralised hubs.
The reports frame the changes as part of Canva responding to business conditions, with several outlets citing slowing growth. A centre-left group of outlets also describes the move as occurring in what Canva calls the “hardest moment” of its history, while others emphasise the scale of the workforce impact and the broader effect on the tech industry.
Across coverage, the central points are consistent: job reductions total roughly 22% of the workforce, with the exact number stated as 1,271 in one report and described more generally as “more than 1,000” in others. Outlets vary in the prominence they give to relocations, role changes, and Canva’s private-company status.
