Job description

Description

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Acting as the strategic data partner to Product and Engineering leads across the Productivity space

  • Defining and owning the long-term measurement strategy for productivity workflows, collaboration and AI-powered assistance

  • Identifying step-change growth opportunities and helping the group set bold, data-informed goals

  • Leading complex, multi-squad experimentation and ensuring strong decision frameworks are in place

  • Building clarity across interconnected surfaces — aligning metrics across editing, workflows, collaboration and downstream impact

  • Coaching and growing senior data scientists while raising the bar for strategic thinking and influence

  • Anticipating future risks and opportunities through proactive insight generation

You're probably a match if

  • You’ve operated as a senior data leader and trusted thought partner to Product leadership

  • You think in systems and can connect multiple product surfaces into one clear measurement strategy

  • You’re strong in experimentation, but equally strong in ambiguous, exploratory problem spaces

  • You’re fluent in SQL and experienced in Python or R

  • You influence through clarity — simplifying complexity and helping teams make confident decisions

  • You’ve driven impact in high-growth or zero-to-one product areas

  • You’re energised by bold goals and building strategy in emerging spaces

  • You’ve worked in collaboration tools, workflow automation, or AI-assisted productivity products

  • You’ve defined north-star metrics and success frameworks for new product categories

About the team

The Productivity space is focused on helping users move from creation to impact — faster and more effectively. This includes workflows, collaboration, AI-powered assistance, and features that make Canva an essential daily tool.

It’s a space with significant growth potential and strategic importance. We’re looking for someone who can partner at a senior level, connect data to long-term vision, and help set crazy big goals — then make them happen.

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.

What you’d be doing in this role
