You’ll build strong relationships with GTM leaders, becoming a dependable, solutions-oriented partner who brings clarity to complex decisions
You’ll help teams understand the story behind the numbers - connecting operational activity to financial performance - and you won’t hesitate to offer a point of view or constructively challenge where needed
You’ll work closely with partners across Sales, Customer Success, RevOps, People, Accounting, and the wider FP&A team, delivering impact across planning, forecasting, and strategic initiatives
You’ll own the budgeting, monthly close, and expense forecasting processes for the GTM organization
Driving the budget management and monthly reforecasting cadence in partnership with GTM leaders, our People team and other FP&A teams
Independently analysing drivers behind headcount costs, commissions, T&E, tooling, and other investments - and synthesising their impact into succinct insights
Identifying risks, opportunities, and trade-offs by connecting trends across teams, time periods, and strategic initiatives
Preparing clear, concise, executive-ready commentary and performance materials that “start with the answer” and meet the needs of senior audiences
Your ability to anticipate downstream impacts, balance short-term accuracy with longer-term thinking, and see analysis through to actionable recommendations will be core to your success
You’ll take ownership of the unit economics model which measures the LTV:CAC and CAC payback for Canva’s sales business
You’ll refine assumptions, improve structure, or rebuild components where necessary to ensure our models reflect reality, scale with the business, and support strategic decisions
This requires strong modelling craft - building and maintaining models of moderate to high complexity with high attention to detail - as well as the ability to translate model outputs into compelling narratives for GTM and Finance leaders
You’ll evolve how Canva forecasts commissions by tightening the connections between attainment, SPIFFs, hiring plans, quota structures, and ramp curves
You’ll partner deeply with RevOps, Sales leadership and Accounting to ensure forecasts are accurate, explainable, and aligned with business performance
This work blends operational understanding with strategic thinking — requiring judgement, clarity, and a keen eye for spotting early signals
In close partnership with Sales, Deal Desk and the broader Finance team, you will stand up a framework and infrastructure for evaluating the economics of our largest, most complex deals
This work will be primarily focused on standing up deal margin modeling - i.e. understanding which factors influence long-term deal economics, ingesting the right data to forecast the impact, and communicating the insights to inform executive approvals on pricing and deal structuring
You’ll proactively identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve data integrity, and enhance the overall effectiveness of GTM forecasting and reporting
You’ll contribute to key initiatives across GTM Finance, such as: Improving headcount reconciliation, accuracy, and reporting
Building or refining ROI frameworks for evaluating investments or resource allocation
Enhancing our forecasting methodologies and performance metrics
Supporting annual and long-range planning cycles
Across these projects, you will bring a balance of structured problem-solving, creativity, and a focus on operational excellence

5-8 years of work experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, or a similar role, ideally in B2B SaaS or another high-growth technology environment
