About the Position

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hello, 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.

About the Role

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This role is the hybrid finance analyst and data analyst that keeps the spend understood, trusted, and well forecasted. You'll sit alongside AI and non-AI hosting spend analysts, owning the data layer that both lean on, and partnering with Accounting and technical accounting on the methodologies that split hosting spend across the P&L.

Your work gives Finance Business Partners the confidence to lift the numbers straight into strategic analysis, without worrying whether the data holds up. If you enjoy cloud cost data and turning complex data sets into something people can action and confidently rely on, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Reconcile hosting data across all centralised cloud hosting vendor bill line items.
• Own the R&D reclass (COGS vs non-COGS) and free reclass (AI vs non-AI) methodologies in the Anaplan hosting model.
• Manage the finance rhythm for admin hosting, including monthly close, quarterly Outlooks, and annual AOP.
• Build and maintain queries and dashboards for FBPs, Procurement, and Group Leads.
• Partner with FinOps and Finance Data on tagging, mapping, vendor onboarding, and anomaly detection.
• Prepare models and scenario analysis for cloud hosting vendor renewal or new negotiation conversations.
• Use AI tools fluently in your daily workflow and help design and run the hands-on modelling for chargeback pilot groups.

Requirements

• Strong data proficiency and daily comfort with a BI tool (Mode, Looker, Omni, or similar).
• Strong modelling skills, especially driver-based modelling for cloud hosting spend.
• Hands-on experience with large transactional datasets, ideally cloud cost or billing data (CUR, FinOps tooling).
• Working knowledge of AWS or GCP billing, including Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Capacity Blocks, and Committed Use Discounts.
• Experience operating within an FP&A function or similar, used to the rhythm of monthly close, quarterly forecasting cadences, variance analysis, and the planning cycles that come with it.
• Fluent use of AI tools for model building and daily analytical work.
• Clear written communication and attention to detail across invoices, accruals, reclasses, and reconciliations.
• Experience with Anaplan (strongly preferred) or another enterprise planning tool (Adaptive, Pigment, Oracle EPM) is a plus.
• Any exposure to FinOps practices and tooling (ProsperOps, Vantage, native cloud cost tools), or chargeback/showback model design, is a bonus.

We Offer

• Equity packages
• Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parent carers
• An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup, and more
• Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge, and support you personally
• Virtual, hybrid, and in-person work options to suit you and your team
