Corporate FP&A Manager
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.
Where and how you can work
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.
About the role
Seeing the big picture across the company, Corporate FP&A brings cohesion, clarity and guidance to the rest of FP&A, from OPEX target setting and driving the FP&A rhythm, to directing focus of teams to deliver a strong investor narrative. This team has a strategic mindset, exceptional financial and business acumen, and outstanding communication skills that enable it to engage effectively with Founders, Executive leadership, the Board of Directors, CFO, and Investor Relations!
As Canva's Corporate FP&A Manager, you'll sit at the heart of our financial engine, owning the reporting infrastructure, processes, and systems that keep our business accountable and our leaders informed.
This role carries significant breadth: from close consolidation and Non-GAAP to GAAP bridging, through to Audit Committee and Board reporting, financial guidance, and investor relations support. You'll be the connective tissue between FP&A, accounting, and senior leadership, someone who can translate complex financial data into clear narratives while simultaneously building the systems and tooling that scale underneath it.
We're looking for someone who's equally comfortable in the detail and in the boardroom, hands-on enough to build from scratch, and strategic enough to know why it matters. If you thrive in an environment where structure is something you create rather than inherit, this role was made for you.
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.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
Partnering across FP&A and business leaders to drive accountability and manage financial performance across revenue and expenditure, implementing planning frameworks, mechanisms, processes, and systems along the way.
Delivering improvement and increasing efficiency to our financial close, planning and reforecast cycles, partnering closely with the broader FP&A, Finance team, and Business leaders.
Designing, building, and implementing planning and reporting cadences at the board, executive, and leadership level.
Bringing clarity and cohesion to our growth narrative, investment thesis, in partnership with investor relations, to be communicated with investors and other external parties.
Partnering with other finance teams across accounting, tax, and treasury to deliver finance team goals.
You're probably a match if you have
5+ years of related experience working in Finance related or quantitative fields.
FP&A experience within global SaaS companies. Prior GAAP and Corporate FP&A experiences at a US public company is a must have.
A strategic mindset with ability to link big picture to details with ease.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management capabilities that enable you to collaborate effectively with senior business leaders across the Company to achieve desired outcomes.
A team player who continually pushes the boundary, improving and elevating processes and systems to bring increasing value and efficiency to what we do.
Strong experience with complex financial modeling. Experience with Anaplan is a plus.
Thrive in bringing structure to chaos, embracing challenges with high adaptability.
