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:
- 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.
- Build and maintain dashboards for our product teams, and make them look really good - you don’t need to be a designer or have any design talent, you just need to want to build cool things
- Own projects, data models, dashboards, and other artefacts 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.
You're probably a match if
- You have strong competency with SQL; experience with data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery is a plus!
- You are experienced with data wrangling and analysing data using Python or R.
- You can demonstrate skills across optimising product funnels, running experiments, and building dashboards that effectively communicate results and outcomes.
- You may have a grounding in mathematics/statistics and a bachelor's degree in a STEM area (not mandatory).
- You may have played with very large data sets (not mandatory).
- You are a strong communicator, verbally and written, with the ability able to break down complex topics into simple solutions and ideas.

We have a LOT of data and need people who can use their skills to help us make the most of it!
- You’ll be joining a cross functional product team focusing on helping companies of all sizes reach their full potential on Canva. You will help the team gain a deep understanding of our B2B customers to help drive end-to-end funnel optimisation through improvements in targeting and messaging.
