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, Adelaide and Auckland. 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.
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 embedded data scientists to deliver insights, experimentation, and strategic clarity across the logged-in experience
Owning key metrics for onboarding, personalisation, and lifecycle journeys — and using them to guide decisions
Leading end-to-end experimentation, from designing hypotheses to rollout recommendations
Partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Design to drive engagement, retention, and activation outcomes
Uplifting experimentation and BI foundations across Snowflake, Looker, and Canva’s internal tools
Translating data into actionable recommendations — and setting the standard for high-impact analysis and storytelling
Enabling data-driven, personalised user experiences at scale — across onboarding, resurrection, triggers, and next-best actions
You're probably a match if
You’ve led and coached data scientists within a fast-paced product environment
You bring strong expertise in experimentation, retention analytics, and lifecycle metrics
You’re fluent in SQL and comfortable with data wrangling in Python or R
You’ve worked with SaaS product datasets and know how to balance rigour and speed
You’re known for crafting clear, evidence-based recommendations that drive decisions
You love turning complexity into clarity — especially when guiding non-technical stakeholders
You enjoy growing people and lifting the bar for storytelling, experimentation, and impact
About the team
The Experience Value team sits within the Logged-in Experience group and focuses on helping every user find value, faster. We power onboarding, resurrection, personalisation, and B2B data experiences that help people start designing and keep coming back. Whether it’s through reducing friction, recommending the right next action, or helping sales teams target high-quality leads — we put data at the centre of decision-making to make every Canva journey more valuable and personal.
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 supports you personally

Other stuff to know
We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
We celebrate all types of skills and backgrounds at Canva so even if you don’t feel like your skills quite match what’s listed above - we still want to hear from you!
Please note that interviews are conducted virtually.
