Canva is seeking an Infrastructure Finance Analyst to join its FP&A team in Sydney. This role sits at the intersection of finance and data, focusing on the economics of Canva's technical infrastructure—compute, storage, cloud hosting, and AI investments that power the platform for hundreds of millions of users.
You will own the finance data layer for hosting spend, ensuring accuracy and auditability across all cloud vendor bills. Key responsibilities include:
• Reconciling hosting data across centralized cloud vendor line items so FP&A partners can confidently use the numbers for strategic analysis
• Owning R&D and free reclassification (COGS vs non-COGS, AI vs non-AI) methodologies in Anaplan, partnering with Accounting and technical 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 Finance Business Partners, Procurement, and Group Leads about service movements and workload costs
• Partnering with FinOps and Finance Data on tagging, vendor mapping, and anomaly detection as new AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, FAL, G-Core) are onboarded
• Preparing models and scenario analysis for cloud hosting vendor negotiations, including commit sizing and break-even analysis
• Using AI tools fluently in daily workflows and helping design chargeback pilot models as Canva moves toward distributed cost accountability
Hosting is Canva's single largest cost lever and fastest-moving line item, with new AI workloads and negotiation cycles emerging almost every quarter. This role ensures every dollar is understood, well-forecasted, and actively optimized.
Canva operates on a hybrid model from its Sydney campus in Surry Hills, with flexibility to work remotely and collaborate in-person when it matters most.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Strong data proficiency and daily comfort with a BI tool (Mode, Looker, Omni, or similar)
• Strong driver-based modelling skills, especially 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, familiar 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 across invoices, accruals, reclasses, and reconciliations
• Anaplan experience strongly preferred; other enterprise planning tools (Adaptive, Pigment, Oracle EPM) acceptable
• Bonus: exposure to FinOps practices and tooling (ProsperOps, Vantage, native cloud cost tools) or chargeback/showback model design
