Job Description

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 time-consuming, so let’s 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 the moment, this role is focused on helping Canva prove and improve the impact of marketing, by:

  • Developing innovative marketing measurement frameworks, including attribution methodologies, marketing mix modelling (MMM), and incrementality testing, to assess the impact of our marketing investment across diverse regions.
  • Closely collaborating with senior leadership to translate modelling and experimentation outputs into clear and actionable insights that drive both short and long-term decision-making.
  • Coordinating with collaborators across Canva to shape analysis and recommendations. You will identify the opportunities and proactively rally people around the solutions.
  • Serving as a thought leader and mentor in Marketing Measurement at Canva, aligning teams around key insights and acting as a driver of data literacy and best practices.

You're probably a match if

  • Communication is your superpower. You love asking the right questions to understand a problem and can influence stakeholders through data-driven story-telling.
  • You have deep knowledge of marketing measurement, including attribution, MMM, incrementality testing, and assessing marketing efficiency.
  • You’re capable of shifting seamlessly between overarching goals and detailed execution.
  • You have a proven record of solving ambiguous problems and proactively uncovering hidden opportunities that drive business impact.
  • You can own projects end-to-end with autonomy - from discovery, delivery to communication.
  • You have competency with SQL and building data pipelines; experience with Snowflake and dBT is a plus!
  • You know how to wrangle and analyse data using Python or R.
  • You’re experienced in working with international teams and understand the nuances of collaborating across cultures and markets.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have a track record of owning high-impact projects and delivering results under tight deadlines.

About the team

This role is part of the Global Marketing Research & Data team. We are a team of Researchers, Analytic Engineers and Data Scientists who exist to deliver a high quality understanding of our markets, competitors, marketing and users. We deliver unrivalled insight into the business to ensure that we are making the right decisions at the right time.

The team is smart, fun and excited to solve the most complex questions our 500+ marketing team throw at us. We thrive in ambiguity and love nothing more than a problem and the autonomy to solve it.
 

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 stack 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 supports you personally
