Senior Data Scientist - People Analytics (Remote across ANZ)

Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, hello, hiya, 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 Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. 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.

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.

At the moment, this role is focused on :

• Continue building data foundation across People domains (performance, departures, workforce planning, payroll, etc.).
• Drive data literacy and data-informed mindset among our diverse People stakeholders.
• Generate actionable insights - we want cohesive, meaningful analysis rather than standard metrics without purpose.
• Create insight-driven dashboards that clearly communicate business progress and are intuitive to use (no design background needed, just effective data visualisation).
• Make complex data simple by building data models that make diverse sources accessible and easy to work with.
• Strengthen data governance across People Org and improve data quality through best practices implementation.
• Partner with analytics engineers to streamline data flow from warehouse to downstream reporting, enabling more effective team collaboration.
• Enable stakeholder success by working closely together to tackle immediate business challenges.

About the team

Our team has grown dramatically over the last few years. We’ve gone from a small start up to a large and diverse team across multiple offices around the world. In order to continue supporting Canva’s incredible growth as a product, we need to continue building up our amazing team, and that’s where you come in. We need you to join our data scientist specialty, with a focus on understanding Canva’s operational people data.

As a People Data Scientist at Canva, you’ll work closely with teams across the business, managing large volumes of data to help our colleagues make Canva run, scale, and grow. While this role sits within our People team, you’ll also be part of the broader Data team - a diverse group who thrive on uncovering insights, solving complex problems, and identifying opportunities we didn’t even know existed.

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 stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
