Hey, 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.
Our flagship campus is in Sydney, with global hubs across the US, Europe and Asia. For this role you can be based in Australia or San Francisco, with flexibility in how you work and collaborate with your team.
At Canva, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
As Canva continues to scale, our internal technology platforms must evolve alongside the business.
As Head of Business Technology Platforms, you’ll lead the strategy, architecture, and engineering capability behind the systems that power Canva’s core business operations — including our Finance and People platforms.
This is a highly strategic leadership role within our IT organisation, responsible for ensuring these platforms are secure, scalable, and ready to support Canva as we continue to grow globally and operate at public-company scale.
You’ll partner closely with leaders across Finance, People, and Security, Trust & IT to shape the platform strategy that underpins how Canva runs, reports, and scales.
Setting the long-term technical vision, architecture, and strategy for Canva’s Finance and People platforms
Establishing strong governance and control frameworks across business systems to support auditability, compliance, and public-company readiness
Building and scaling engineering capability within our business platform teams, evolving from configuration-heavy systems toward platform ownership and technical depth
Defining Canva’s strategy for automation and AI adoption across internal business platforms, enabling smart and efficient operations
Leading strategic vendor relationships and ensuring platform partners deliver to Canva’s standards for quality, reliability, and innovation
Acting as a senior partner to Finance, People, and executive leadership, translating platform risk, architecture, and roadmap into clear strategic narratives
You’ve led large-scale enterprise platform, infrastructure, or internal technology organisations in high-growth technology environments
You have experience operating in — or preparing organisations for — public company environments, with strong governance, compliance, and controls expectations
You bring deep expertise across enterprise systems such as ERP, HRIS, or financial platforms, and have led major platform implementations or transformations
You think in systems — understanding architecture, integrations, data flows, and how platforms support business outcomes
You’ve built and scaled high-performing platform teams, moving organisations from reactive support models to proactive platform ownership
You’re an experienced senior stakeholder partner, comfortable working with executive leaders as well as technical teams
You bring strong vendor and partner leadership experience, including managing strategic technology relationships and complex platform ecosystems
IT at Canva is evolving into a modern platform-driven organisation — one that combines strong engineering capability, operational excellence, and governance foundations required for a global technology company.
The Business Platform team sits at the heart of this evolution. We partner closely with Finance and People teams to build the systems and infrastructure that power how Canva operates internally — from financial reporting and workforce systems to the platforms that support thousands of Canvanauts around the world.
We operate with high trust, low hierarchy, and a strong bias toward building things well, not just fast.
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.
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
Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally

Empower the world to design.
We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world. Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%. We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.
