Canva is seeking a Cloud Hosting Finance Analyst to join its FP&A team in Sydney. This hybrid role sits within Tech & Product Finance, owning the financial analysis and data infrastructure around Canva's cloud hosting spend—the single largest cost lever as the company scales AI workloads and organic growth.
You will be the hybrid finance and data analyst responsible for keeping hosting spend understood, trusted, and well-forecasted. Working alongside AI and non-AI hosting spend analysts, you'll own the data layer that both teams rely on, and partner with Accounting and technical accounting on methodologies that split hosting spend across the P&L.
Key responsibilities include:
- Reconciling hosting data across all centralized cloud vendor bill line items so FP&A partners can confidently use the numbers for strategic analysis
- Owning R&D reclass (COGS vs non-COGS) and free reclass (AI vs non-AI) methodologies in the Anaplan hosting model, partnering with Accounting on audit readiness
- Managing the finance rhythm for hosting: monthly close, quarterly Outlooks, annual AOP, including ProsperOps accruals, AWS/GCP invoice validation, and monthly billing reconciliations
- Building and maintaining queries and dashboards that answer questions from FBPs, Procurement, and Group Leads about service changes and workload costs
- Partnering with FinOps and Finance Data on tagging, mapping, vendor onboarding, and anomaly detection
- Preparing models and scenario analysis for cloud hosting vendor renewals and negotiations, including commit sizing and break-even analysis
- Using AI tools fluently in daily workflow and helping design chargeback pilot models as Canva moves to distributed cost accountability
The role is part of a broader FP&A function that acts as a force multiplier across Canva, bringing financial expertise to strategic decision-making, financial planning, and operational efficiency.
Requirements:
- Strong data proficiency and daily comfort with a BI tool (Mode, Looker, Omni, or similar)
- Strong modelling skills, especially driver-based modelling for cloud hosting spend
- Hands-on experience with large transactional datasets, ideally cloud cost or billing data (CUR, FinOps tooling)
- Working knowledge of AWS or GCP billing, including Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Capacity Blocks, and Committed Use Discounts
- Experience operating within an FP&A function or similar, comfortable with monthly close, quarterly forecasting, variance analysis, and planning cycles
- Fluent use of AI tools for model building and analytical work
- Clear written communication and attention to detail for invoices, accruals, reclasses, and reconciliations
- Experience with Anaplan (strongly preferred) or another enterprise planning tool (Adaptive, Pigment, Oracle EPM) is a plus
- Any exposure to FinOps practices and tooling (ProsperOps, Vantage, native cloud cost tools) or chargeback/showback model design is a bonus
