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, Australia but Prague is home to part of our European operations. And with that, you'll have choice in how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
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.

You're probably a match if
You have several years of experience in data analytics, growth, or product analytics roles
You have strong SQL and Python data wrangling skills; able to work independently with large, messy datasets
You do have experience partnering with cross-functional teams (marketing, product, growth, ops), and using data to influence decisions
You bring strong communication and storytelling skills—you make data land, not just show up
You are a strategic thinker who can zoom out and prioritize what really moves the needle
You have proven experience building dashboards and tracking frameworks from the ground up
You have the ability to define and track key metrics across the user journey (e.g., signups, MAU, retention, monetization)
You bring a bias to action—you’re comfortable in ambiguity and take ownership without waiting for a brief
You had prior exposure to experimentation and A/B testing frameworks
You have a familiarity with Canva’s data stack (Looker, Snowflake, Mode, Netspring)
Nice-to-Haves
Experience working in or analyzing European markets
Understanding of mobile analytics and behavioral funnels
Experience supporting product teams or market localization initiatives
Passion for Canva’s mission and a natural curiosity for how people use technology across cultures
