While we are open to candidates globally, a willingness to relocate to our HQ in Sydney, Australia, is highly desirable. You would be working alongside the executive team and being the visible, guiding presence for the finance team at the heart of Canva's continued growth.

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design

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 a choice in where and how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

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.

We're seeking an exceptional Global Head of FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) to lead our world-class finance team, driving strategy and business insight across Canva as we continue our hypergrowth journey. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, you will be a strategic partner, providing critical insights and guidance to the executive leadership team and driving financial performance across the organization. You will collaborate with the wider leadership team (e.g., GTM, Marketing, Growth, People, Product, Technology) to help fuel Canva’s growth and ensure financial excellence. The ideal candidate will have a wealth of experience in FP&A or Corporate Finance, with a proven track record of success in both private and public companies.

At the moment, the role is focused on :

  • Lead and inspire : Manage and mentor a high-performing global FP&A team, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
  • Strategic financial planning : Develop and oversee the annual budget, long-range financial plans, and forecasting processes, aligning financial strategy with Canva's ambitious growth objectives.
  • Financial management : Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), analyze financial results, and provide insightful reporting and analysis to senior leadership, highlighting trends, risks, and opportunities.
  • Business partnering : Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (including Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Sales) to provide financial expertise and support strategic decision-making.
  • Investment analysis : Evaluate potential investments, acquisitions, and strategic initiatives, providing rigorous financial modeling and recommendations.
  • Drive efficiency : Identify and implement process improvements to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the FP&A function.
  • Executive communication : Prepare and present clear, concise financial reports and presentations to the executive team and the Board of Directors.
  • Systems and tools : Scale financial systems and processes with a focus on automation and AI-driven insights.

You’re probably a match if you have :

  • Proven experience as a senior finance leader within a global, high-growth technology company.
  • Deep understanding of financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, and financial modeling techniques.
  • A strong command of SaaS metrics : ARR, CAC, LTV, churn, etc.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex financial data into actionable insights.
  • Strong business acumen and the ability to understand and influence business strategy.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
  • Experience building and leading high-performing teams in a global, fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency in financial systems (e.g., NetSuite, Anaplan, and AI-driven technology)
  • A passion for Canva's mission and a genuine desire to make a positive impact.
  • Additional Information
