About the Group
User Voice Group ’s vision is “every user empowered, every voice heard.” With all the product features and improvements we are rolling out at an immense scale, the User Voice group needs to keep meeting the support needs of Canva users. Whilst our primary goal is to solve issues before they happen, or to use technology to address them, we have a growing need for people to resolve more complex issues.
Canva’s current approach is to have a mix of in-house and outsourced teams to meet these needs. Outsourced support will continue to grow as we target to resolve at least 70% of support tickets via support vendors by the end of 2022, and 80% come 2023.
