Data Scientist-Growth Marketing

Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, hello, hiya, 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.

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 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 looking for a data scientist who is eager to help Canva forge ahead in marketing by helping to shape decisions through actionable insights, experimentation, and reporting. You’ll be joining a fast-moving cross-functional team of Data Scientists who love to geek out on large data sets, share and collaborate on the latest analysis methods, and encourage each other to find creative ways to positively impact the business.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Find insights that help us understand both users and our marketing efforts – we want you to be creative and insightful, rather than just throwing the usual metrics at the wall to see what sticks.
• Suggest and run interesting experiments that will actually move our metrics – when we push tests to 100% we want to actually see the bump in the relevant graph.
• Build and maintain dashboards for our marketing teams, and make them look really good – you don’t need to be a designer or have any design talent, you just need to want to build cool things!
• Own projects, data models, dashboards, and other artefacts and keep them up-to-date and high quality in a hypergrowth environment.
• Use our giant databases to answer the sort of questions that sound really simple but turn out to be challenging (and fun!).
• Help us extend data literacy and curiosity throughout the whole company.

  You’re probably a match if:

• You have strong competency with SQL. Experience with data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery is a plus!
• You are experienced with data wrangling and analyzing data using Python or R.
• Knowledge of attribution methodologies, marketing mix modelling and incrementality of marketing campaigns is a big plus.
• The ability to build out dashboards that effectively communicate results and outcomes.
• You may have a grounding in mathematics/statistics and a bachelor’s degree in a STEM area (not mandatory).
• You may have played with very large data sets (not mandatory).
• You are a strong communicator, verbally and written, with the ability able to break down complex topics into simple solutions and ideas.

About the team​​​​​​​

This role is part of the Global Marketing Research & Data team. We are a team of Researchers, Analytic Engineers and Data Scientists who exist to deliver a high quality understanding of our markets, competitors, marketing and users. We deliver unrivalled insight into the business to ensure that we are making the right decisions at the right time.

The team is smart, fun and excited to solve the most complex questions our 400+ marketing team throw at us. We thrive in ambiguity and love nothing more than a problem and the autonomy to solve it.
 

What’s in it for you?

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.

Here’s a taste of what’s on offer:

• Equity packages – we want our success to be yours too
• Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
• An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
