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 San Francisco, which is now home to our US operations. Although the role is listed at hybrid, we are incredibly flexible and empower you to do the best work of your life wherever that looks like, whether that's at your home in SF or at the office. 

About the team

At Canva, our Corporate Accounting team is building the financial foundation for one of the world’s fastest-growing SaaS companies. As we continue to scale globally, this team plays a critical role in delivering accurate, timely, and reliable financials to support decision-making and ensure operational excellence.

We leverage automation, technology, and AI to simplify processes, drive efficiency, and create scalable systems that support long-term growth. As Canva continues to expand in scale and complexity, our team is at the center of that journey.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting – Compensation to lead and elevate our compensation accounting team of two through this next phase of growth. In this role, you’ll oversee accounting for payroll, equity, and employee benefits, and play a key role in the reimplementation of our HRM, the rollout of our new global payroll provider, and the implementation of a new equity compensation tool — ensuring accounting requirements are captured and integrated across each initiative. As Canva continues expanding into new markets, you’ll also support the setup of payroll accounting in new geographies, helping to build globally scalable, audit-ready processes.

This is an ideal opportunity for a strategic, hands-on leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and is excited by the opportunity to build from the ground up. You’ll manage a high-performing team, partner cross-functionally across Finance, People, and Systems teams, and shape the future of compensation accounting through process transformation, automation, and AI.
