Job Description
<p><strong>Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.</strong></p><p>Hello, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!</p><p>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.</p><p><strong>Where and how you can work</strong></p><p>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.</p><p><strong>What you’d be doing in this role</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>At the moment, this role is focused on:</p><ul><li><p>Build the Data Foundation for growing markets in LATAM (Mexico, Argentina, etc.)<br>
Design and build dashboards from scratch that bring visibility to our most important LATAM metrics—across user growth, retention, monetization, campaign performance, and more.</p></li><li><p>Own the data Strategy End-to-End<br>
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.</p></li><li><p>Partner with Local, Regional, and Central Teams<br>
Act as the bridge between our LATAM 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.</p></li><li><p>Tell the Story Behind the Numbers<br>
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.</p></li><li><p>Identify Problems Before They’re Obvious<br>
Proactively surface growth bottlenecks, user behavior shifts, or product mismatches in the region—so we’re always one step ahead.</p></li><li><p>Support Product & Experimentation Initiatives<br>
Work closely with product teams to help design and measure new feature performance, local experiments, and A/B tests in LATAM markets.</p></li></ul><p><strong>You're probably a match if</strong></p><ul><li><p>You have strong SQL and data wrangling skills; able to work independently with large, messy datasets and exposure to experimentation and A/B testing frameworks</p></li><li><p>You are familiar with Canva’s data stack (Looker, Snowflake, Mode, Netspring)</p></li><li><p>You have proven experience building dashboards and tracking frameworks from the ground up</p></li><li><p>You can showcase the ability to define and track key metrics across the user journey (e.g., signups, MAU, retention, monetization)</p></li><li><p>You have prior experience partnering with cross-functional teams (marketing, product, growth, ops), and using data to influence decisions</p></li><li><p>You bring strong communication and storytelling skills—you make data land, not just show up</p></li><li><p>You have hands-on experience using AI in your work to drive greater impact</p></li><li><p>You are a strategic thinker who can zoom out and prioritize what really moves the needle and you’re comfortable in ambiguity and take ownership without waiting for a brief</p></li><li><p>You have experience working in, or analyzing LATAM markets or other global markets</p></li><li><p>You bring an understanding of mobile analytics and behavioral funnels and are experienced in supporting product teams or market localization initiatives</p></li><li><p>You ideally have working proficiency in Spanish to help us better support our local community</p></li></ul><p><br>
