Staff Data Scientist - Basic Measurements

Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hello, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, hello, hallo, welcome!

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be somewhat time-consuming and you're likely eager to find out what's available, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our main campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. However, you have the option of where and how you work. This means that whether you want to work in the office (if you're near one), at home, or a mix of both, it is up to you.

What you’d be doing in this role

As Canva grows, 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 an idea of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

At Canva, our mission is to empower the world to design, and we’re seeking incisive data analysts who can help us achieve this goal.

Our product has grown substantially over the last few years. We now have tens of millions of users generating enormous quantities of data daily. To help fuel our future growth, we need to better understand our data - this is where we need you.

We're in search of self-motivated individuals who are curious about our product and our users, and thrilled to unearth valuable insights. We don’t want you to merely be a resource providing answers - we want you to act as a real data partner with your team and the broader business. We possess a LOT of data and require individuals who can utilize their skills to help us make the most of it!

You’ll be joining a diverse team of over thirty individuals, who genuinely enjoy finding solutions to the problems our users face. We’re eagerly looking forward to continuing to expand our team and obtaining a variety of new perspectives and ideas on how we can meet our objectives and assist more people.

Responsibilities of the Role

• Unearth insights that help us understand both Canva and our users - we want you to be creative and insightful, rather than just throwing the usual metrics at the wall to see what sticks.
• Suggest and execute engaging experiments that will truly move our metrics - when we push tests to 100%, we want to actually see the increase in the relevant graph.
• Build and maintain dashboards for our product teams, and ensure they look really good - you don’t need to be a designer or possess any design talent, you just need to desire to build cool stuff.
• Manage projects, data models, dashboards, and other artifacts, and keep them updated and high-quality in a hypergrowth environment.
• Use our extensive databases to answer the kind of questions that sound really simple, but turn out to be challenging (and fun!).
• Help us promote data literacy and curiosity throughout the entire company.

Required Skills & Experience

• High competency with SQL; experience with data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery is a plus!
• Experience manipulating and analysing data using Python or R.
• Experience with improving product funnels, running experiments, and building dashboards that effectively convey results and outcomes.
• A foundation in mathematics / statistics and a bachelor's degree in a STEM field is preferred; though not required.
• Experience with very large data sets is a major plus, but not mandatory.
• Strong communication skills - both verbal and written - be able to simplify complex topics into easy-to-understand solutions and ideas.

One of our core values at Canva, “Being a force for good” means we are actively working towards a world that isn't beneficial for a select few, but one that’s good for all. We deeply believe in bringing together a diversity of thoughts, perspectives, and expressions as it's key for developing the best product for our equally diverse community. To realize this, we continuously strive to make Canva the best place to work, for everyone.

If you're a passionate data analyst hunting for a truly challenging opportunity with one of the world's leading technology companies, then apply now to begin the discussion with us!

What's in it for you?

Our ambitious goals are motivation for us to work hard - and we do - but there are also moments of magic, connection, and fun throughout life at Canva. We offer a stack of benefits to ensure your success in and outside of work.

Here's a sample of what's available:

• Equity plans - we want you to share in our success.

• Inclusive parental leave policy supporting all parents & caregivers.

• An annual allowance to improve your Vibe & Thrive, support your well-being, social connection, office setup & more.

• Flexible leave options that inspire you to be a force for good, recharge, and offer personal support.
