​​​​​​​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.

This role will see you:

  • Leading a team of ~20 data specialists embedded across CJKI, LATAM, EMEA, GPTN and SEA regions

  • Shaping and executing Canva's international data strategy, aligned with our International Strategy Framework

  • Partnering with business leaders to use data to fuel Canva’s global growth through strong market fit, regional product adoption, and localisation effectiveness

  • Partnering with regional leaders, product managers, and data teams to define KPIs, monitor performance, and embed data into decision-making

  • Delivering scaled data infrastructure and minimum viable data setups for Pioneer markets

  • Driving AI and automation initiatives to streamline international operations and enhance localised experiences

You're probably a match if

  • You’ve led distributed data teams supporting international expansion in a high-growth environment

  • You’re experienced in building data measurement frameworks for EMEA regional markets

  • You understand localisation, market nuances, and infrastructure needs for global products

  • You’re confident in stakeholder management across time zones and cultures

  • You know how to build scalable, self-serve data solutions that empower global teams

  • You thrive at the intersection of strategy, systems thinking, and data craftsmanship

About the team

This role sits within the Internationalisation Supergroup, supporting Canva’s mission to make every user feel like Canva was built just for them—no matter where they are in the world. You’ll work with global teams spanning product, growth, content, and localisation to deliver data-driven insights that power our international success.

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
