Job Description
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. This role will see you:
Coaching a team of ~20 data specialists across three teams: Product Platform Data, Infrastructure Data, and Central Data Science
Partnering closely with Platform and Infrastructure Engineering leaders to shape and execute Canva’s Platform and Infrastructure data strategy
Responsible for overseeing the data science roadmap of core data infrastructure such as Canva's Experimentation Platform
Driving technical excellence and championing data-informed decision-making around platform performance, system reliability, and developer productivity
Leading analytics projects that influence how Canva builds scalable systems to serve billions of users
Enabling strategic investments in AI and advanced analytics to improve cost optimization, capacity planning, and system observability
Owning project prioritisation and capacity planning across three highly specialized and interconnected data teams
You're probably a match if
You’ve led high performing data science and analytics teams responsible for delivering impact at scale
You can shape data roadmaps and partner effectively with engineering and product stakeholders
You have deep knowledge of experimentation platform design, system performance analysis, automation and scaling of data systems and processes
You’re a clear communicator who can bridge the gap between technical and business audiences
You’ve successfully managed complex projects across multiple teams with different mandates
You’re excited by the opportunity to elevate how data shapes decision-making at scale
About the team
