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 headquarters is in sunny Sydney, Australia, but our team spans the globe. Since we don’t have a physical campus in Brazil, this role is fully remote—giving you the flexibility to do your best work from wherever you thrive.

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:

  • Build the Data Foundation for LATAM

Design and build dashboards from scratch that bring visibility to our most important LATAM metrics—across user growth, retention, monetization, campaign performance, and more.

  • Own LATAM Data Strategy End-to-End

Define how we track success across the region by setting clear and relevant targets. Build frameworks and KPIs that help us measure impact and make better decisions—tailored to local market nuance.

  • Partner with Local, Regional, and Central Teams

Act as the bridge between our LATAM teams (marketing, country managers, community), and global product and data functions. Ensure local insights are reflected in global priorities, and ensure a two-way flow of local and global insights.

  • Tell the Story Behind the Numbers

Craft clear, actionable narratives using data. Turn complex insights into simple stories that inspire action—whether with product teams, regional leadership, or the whole company.

  • Identify Problems Before They’re Obvious

Proactively surface growth bottlenecks, user behavior shifts, or product mismatches in the region—so we’re always one step ahead.

  • Support Product & Experimentation Initiatives

Work closely with product teams to help design and measure new feature performance, local experiments, and A/B tests in LATAM markets.

You’re probably a match if

  • You have strong SQL and data wrangling skills; able to work independently with large, messy datasets and exposure to experimentation and A/B testing frameworks
  • You are familiar with Canva’s data stack (Looker, Snowflake, Mode, Netspring)
  • You have proven experience building dashboards and tracking frameworks from the ground up
  • You can showcase the ability to define and track key metrics across the user journey (e.g., signups, MAU, retention, monetization)
  • You have prior experience partnering with cross-functional teams (marketing, product, growth, ops), and using data to influence decisions
  • You bring strong communication and storytelling skills—you make data land, not just show up
  • You have hands-on experience using AI in your work to drive greater impact
  • You are a strategic thinker who can zoom out and prioritize what really moves the needle and you’re comfortable in ambiguity and take ownership without waiting for a brief
  • You have experience working in, or analyzing LATAM markets or other global markets
  • You bring an understanding of mobile analytics and behavioral funnels and are experienced in supporting product teams or market localization initiatives
  • You ideally have working proficiency in Spanish and/or Portuguese to help us better support our local community

About the team

At Canva, we’ve just unlocked a huge opportunity in LATAM: for the first time, we’re building a dedicated regional team to understand, grow, and serve the unique needs of our users across LATAM.

As the Regional Data Lead for LATAM, you’ll be the first dedicated analytics voice for this 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 localize with care—this is your chance.
