Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.


What you’d be doing in this role

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 Canva, our mission is to empower the world to design, and we’re looking for insightful data analysts who can help us make that happen.

Our product has grown enormously in the last few years. We now have 10s of millions of users generating enormous quantities of data every single day. To help us fuel our future growth, we need to better understand our data - this is where we need your help.

About the team
Canva would not exist without content. Our templates, photos, fonts, stock media and more play a critical and pivotal role in empowering our users to design anything and publish anywhere. Content has far reaching business impact and is a key driver of user acquisition, retention and revenue.

The content strategy & insights team’s mission is to build the most valuable & engaging content library in the world. We work collaboratively across the content & discovery group and other key partners, to identify & implement opportunities to drive user engagement through content.

About the role
As a Data Analyst in the Content Strategy, Insights & Investments group you will be responsible for creatively using data to answer key strategic questions that will have a real impact in the content experience at Canva. We are looking for a motivated self-starter who is passionate about solving complex problems with data and technology.
This is a new group at Canva - so you will play a key role in building out the data approach, process & growth in this group.

What you will do (Responsibilities)

  • Scope, analyze, and find solutions for key strategic questions & business opportunities in partnership with strategy & other key partners
  • Derive actionable insights for strategic decision making to drive impact on Canva’s Foundational Goals through Content
  • Share complex ideas simply to drive alignment with stakeholders, and organise a data strategy in your focus area.
  • Find insights that help us understand both Canva and our customers - we want you to be creative and insightful, rather than just throwing the usual metrics at the wall to see what sticks
  • Suggest and run interesting experiments that will actually move our metrics - when we push tests to 100% we want to actually see the bump in the relevant graph
  • Own projects, data models, dashboards, and other artifacts and keep them up-to-date and high quality in a hypergrowth environment
  • Use our giant databases to answer the sort of questions that sound really simple but turn out to be challenging (and fun!)
  • Help us extend data literacy and curiosity throughout the whole company

    • What we're looking for

  • Experience partnering closely with key business partners (finance, product) to build out a strategy. Validating the strategy through running experiments, and building dashboards that effectively communicate results and outcomes
  • You’re pro-active. you identify the opportunities where you can make the largest impact, and you see it through.
  • Strong competency with SQL; experience with data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery is a plus!
  • Experience wrangling and analysing data using Python or R. Experience with very large data sets is a huge plus, but not required
  • A grounding in mathematics / statistics and a bachelor's degree in a STEM area is preferred; but not required
  • Strong communication skills - verbal and written - be able to break down complex topics into simple solutions and ideas
    • One of our core values at Canva, “Being a force for good” means we are actively working towards a world that isn't just good for a small few, but one that’s good for everyone. We believe deeply that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key for building the best product for our equally diverse community. To achieve this, we need to constantly work towards making Canva the best place to work, for everyone.

    If you're a passionate data analyst seeking a truly challenging opportunity with one of the world's premier technology companies, then apply now to start the discussion with us!
