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.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a hub in San Francisco, which is now home to our US operations. We offer flexibility in how and where you work. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

About the team

FP&A is on a journey to deliver a step-change in financial sophistication and rigor to support Canva’s continued growth. By connecting strategy, goals, planning and execution, we act as trusted business partners whose perspectives are valued and sought after.

Corporate FP&A brings cohesion, clarity and guidance to the rest of FP&A, from leading P&L performance review and driving the FP&A rhythm, to directing focus of teams to deliver a strong investor narrative. With a strategic mindset, deep financial and business acumen, and clear communication, the team partners closely with founders, executive leadership, the Board, the CFO, and Investor Relations to help guide Canva’s growth.

We’re looking for someone who is motivated by using data to help leaders make better decisions. You enjoy owning work end-to-end, take pride in producing high quality outputs, and are energized by turning complexity into clarity. You’re excited by the chance to grow from executing analysis to influencing how the business plans, measures success, and tells its story.

What you’d be doing in this role

• Supporting the preparation of materials for senior leadership and the board, taking on first drafts of selected analyses, visuals and commentary, into clear and compelling stories.

• You’ll partner closely with FP&A, Finance, and business teams to align insights, forecasts, and priorities, while proactively identifying risks and opportunities.

You're probably a match if you

• Have experience in FP&A, consulting, investment banking, or a rotational finance program in corporate organisations, and are excited to deepen your impact in a high growth environment

• Bring strong financial and analytical foundations, with the ability to explain P&L movements and connect results to underlying business drivers.
