Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work — we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

What you'd be doing in this role

We are hiring across multiple teams - our Data Scientists are embedded within every major area of Canva — product, business, and operations. We’re a thriving community that partners deeply with stakeholders to make Canva more effective, efficient, and impactful through data. Whether it’s helping teams make better decisions or building scalable experimentation platforms, we’re here to empower every Canvanaut to do their best work.

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA — but we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Partnering with teams across Canva to influence strategic decisions through data.
    • Designing and analysing A/B tests and other experiments that drive product and business outcomes.
    • Building data models, dashboards, and tooling that help teams scale insights.
    • Defining and forecasting key metrics to track progress and surface opportunities.
    • Communicating findings clearly to a wide range of technical and non-technical audiences.
    • Uplifting the broader data community through mentorship, best practices, and collaboration.

You're probably a match if:

  • You have a proven track record of using data to drive impact across products or business units.
    • You write complex SQL with ease and can work with large-scale datasets.
    • You think strategically, love solving ambiguous problems, and use data to simplify complexity.
    • You’re an excellent communicator and storyteller — able to translate data into compelling narratives.
    • You have experience with experimentation, event instrumentation, and data warehousing.
    • You’ve worked with tools like Python or R and bring a strong foundation in statistics or a STEM field.
    • You’re familiar with key tech metrics like product funnels and growth accounting.
    • You value data accuracy, integrity, and using your craft to enable better decisions.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard — and we do — but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Here’s a taste of what’s on offer:

  • Equity packages — we want our success to be yours too
    • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
    • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
    • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and support you personally

Canva is a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content.

Before Canva, creating a professional looking design was a complex process - you had to purchase expensive software; learn how to use it; purchase stock photography and fonts for the software; decide on a layout; slice images; receive photos and content via email; design something; upload and email the pdf only to find revisions needed to be made … and then finally be able to prepare your design for web or print.

Since launching in August 2013, Canva has been changing the way in which we communicate. Today our design tool has attracted over 15 million happy users across 190 countries, who have collectively created more than 1 billion designs.

With an integrated marketplace that has both free and paid stock photography, fonts, illustrations, and thousands of templates; a paid subscription that offers the ability to set up a brand kit so users can save their brand colours, fonts and assets, and ensure consistency across their designs; and a print service that gives our users the ability to produce professional prints in a variety of formats and sizes, delivered straight to their doorstep - Canva is disrupting the way we design.
