Overview

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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

The Canva London campus features several buildings around leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You\'ll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.

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:

  • Tell the Story Behind the Numbers
    Craft clear, actionable narratives using data. Turn complex insights into simple stories that inspire action—whether with product teams, regional leadership, or the whole company.

  • Identify Problems Before They’re Obvious
    Proactively surface growth bottlenecks, user behavior shifts, or product mismatches in the region—so we’re always one step ahead.

  • Build the Data Foundation for GPTN
    Design and build dashboards from scratch that bring visibility to our most important GPTN metrics—across user growth, retention, monetization, campaign performance, and more.

  • Own GPTN Data Strategy End-to-End
    Define how we track success across the region by setting clear and relevant targets. Build frameworks and KPIs that help us measure impact and make better decisions—tailored to local market nuance.

  • Partner with Local, Regional, and Central Teams
    Act as the bridge between our GPTN teams (marketing, country managers, community), and global product and data functions. Ensure local insights are reflected in global priorities, and ensure a two-way flow of local and global insights.

  • Support Product & Experimentation Initiatives
    Work closely with product teams to help design and measure new feature performance, local experiments, and A/B tests in the markets.

You're probably a match if

  • You have several years of experience in data analytics, growth, or product analytics roles

  • You have strong SQL and Python data wrangling skills; able to work independently with large, messy datasets

  • You do have experience partnering with cross-functional teams (marketing, product, growth, ops), and using data to influence decisions

  • You bring strong communication and storytelling skills—you make data land, not just show up

  • You are a strategic thinker who can zoom out and prioritize what really moves the needle

  • You have proven experience building dashboards and tracking frameworks from the ground up

  • You have the ability to define and track key metrics across the user journey (e.g., signups, MAU, retention, monetization)

  • You bring a bias to action—you’re comfortable in ambiguity and take ownership without waiting for a brief

  • You had prior exposure to experimentation and A/B testing frameworks

  • You have a familiarity with Canva’s data stack (Looker, Snowflake, Mode, Netspring)

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience working in or analyzing European markets

  • Understanding of mobile analytics and behavioral funnels

  • Experience supporting product teams or market localization initiatives

  • Passion for Canva’s mission and a natural curiosity for how people use technology across cultures

About the team

At Canva, we’ve just unlocked a huge opportunity in GPTN (Germany, Poland, Turkey, Netherlands): for the first time, we’re building a dedicated regional team to understand, grow, and serve the unique needs of our users across the four countries.

As the Regional Data Lead for GPTN, you’ll be the first dedicated analytics voice for this region—shaping how we understand our users, measure what matters, and build a data-informed growth strategy that connects our local markets with our global product teams.

If you’re excited about building from scratch, partnering closely with teams across marketing, product, and community, and helping one of the world’s fastest-growing platforms localize with care—this is your chance.

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.
