Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hello, 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.
Our flagship Sydney campus is uniquely Canva - an extension of our Surry Hills neighbourhood. It’s a thoughtfully designed space with plenty of room to collaborate, focus, and connect.
This role is based in Sydney, and we’re looking for someone who calls it home. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
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.
Tech & Product Finance owns the economics of Canva's technical engine, the infrastructure, cloud, compute, GPU and AI investments that power our products and increasingly define our cost base and margin profile. As Canva becomes an AI-native company, these are the fastest-growing and most strategically important lines on the P&L.
Within that, the Technology & Infrastructure team owns the finance seat around how Canva is built and run: the compute, storage and infrastructure that keeps the product running for hundreds of millions of users. Hosting is the single biggest cost lever we steward, and it's one of the fastest-moving: new AI workloads, new negotiation cycles and new savings mechanisms show up almost every quarter. We partner closely with Infra, Platform, Procurement and FinOps leadership to make sure every dollar of hosting spend is understood, forecast well and actively optimised.
Hosting is getting more complex as workloads scale with AI and organic growth, chargeback rolls out and new negotiation cycles come up. This role is the hybrid finance analyst and data analyst that keeps the spend understood, trusted and well forecasted. You'll sit alongside AI and non-AI hosting spend analysts, owning the data layer that both lean on, and partnering with Accounting and technical accounting on the methodologies that split hosting spend across the P&L. Your work gives Finance Business Partners the confidence to lift the numbers straight into strategic analysis, without worrying whether the data holds up. If you enjoy cloud cost data and turning complex data sets into something people can action and confidently rely on, this role is for you.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
We're looking for someone who gets excited by data and finance in equal measure. You see a messy CUR and want to turn it into clean numbers people can rely on. You're the kind of person who catches the reconciliation break before anyone else notices, writes variance commentary a non-finance stakeholder actually understands, and uses AI tools fluently to raise the leverage of your work. You've operated in an FP&A function or similar before, so the rhythm of monthly close, quarterly forecasting and planning cycles feels familiar. On top of that, you'll bring:
FP&A is a force multiplier, accelerating Canva's journey on its 2-step plan! Step One, to become one of the world's most valuable companies; and Step Two, to do the most good we can! Working closely with Business Leaders across the entire company, we bring our financial expertise to bear, enabling strategic decision making that drives topline growth, plotting the path from goals to execution through financial planning, driving financial rigour and prudent investment, delivering key insights that lead to meaningful action, and increasing the efficiency of our operations. FP&A is on a journey to deliver a step-change in financial sophistication and rigour that will drive Canva's growth!

We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world.
Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%.
We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.
