Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but we have a swanky new office in London that has all the bells and whistles. Even though you'll find us in Shoreditch, you have 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.
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:
You have several years of experience in data, product, or growth analytics, including experience leading or managing high-performing teams.
You’ve successfully built and developed Data Scientists, providing clear feedback, career guidance, and performance management.
You think at a systems level - connecting product, marketing, lifecycle, and market strategy into coherent growth narratives.
You’ve partnered with senior stakeholders and influenced strategic decisions at leadership level.
You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and aligning competing regional priorities.
You balance strategic thinking with pragmatic execution.
You know when to go deep technically - and when to coach others to do so.
You set high standards for experimentation design, measurement frameworks, and data storytelling.
You’re highly proficient in modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, Mode, experimentation platforms) and strong in SQL/Python, with enough technical depth to guide and challenge your team - and you stay at the forefront of AI, proactively applying emerging tools and techniques to elevate both your own work and your team’s capabilities.
You care deeply about building inclusive, high-trust team environments.
This role is part of the International Data Team. We’re a distributed team of Data Scientists based across Europe and around the world who exist to deliver a high-quality understanding of our markets, products, and users. We turn data into clarity so Canva can make the right decisions at the right time.
The team is smart, fun, and excited to solve the most complex questions our International team throws at us. We thrive in ambiguity and love nothing more than a problem - and the autonomy - to solve it.
At Canva, we’ve unlocked a huge opportunity across EMEA. We’re building a dedicated regional capability to understand, grow, and serve the diverse needs of our users across EMEA.
As a Data Scientist in EMEA, you’ll be a dedicated analytics voice for the 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 localise with care - this is your chance.
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.
