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 San Francisco. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.

About the Group/Team

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.

About the Role

FP&A is on a journey to deliver a step-change in financial sophistication and rigour that will drive Canva’s growth! Empowering our business leaders by connecting strategy, goals, planning, and execution we act as trusted business partners whose perspectives are valued and sought after.

This is backed by strong technical know-how, whether it be modeling, analytics, product, sales, marketing, or competitor intelligence domains.

We are looking for an influential and transformational leader to lead our Revenue and GTM FP&A teams - someone who seeks to redefine rather than follow the crowd.
