Senior data scientist - collaboration, remote across anz

Job Description Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. 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. Where and how you can work Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home, or a bit of both, it's up to you. What you’d be doing in this role As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve. At The Moment, This Role Is Focused On: Finding strategic insights – combining deep product knowledge with data to produce strategic insights about how to grow the business and improve a feature. Experimenting – designing experiments to test the hypotheses formulated from user research and your own strategic insights, analysing the results, and using them to influence next steps. Influencing with metrics – designing and building goal metrics, forecasting and setting targets, designing analytic events that track feature usage, and building them into dashboards that track performance and product usage patterns. Supporting with general data – providing the data on feature usage that gives the context needed to make good decisions, and working out ways of making this process more efficient (e.g. via self-serve). You're probably a match if: You have a proven record of influencing the business with data and directly contributing to company growth. You have a strong base in the fundamental technical skills of data science – hypothesis-driven problem solving, using SQL to wrangle data, numerical thinking, designing & forecasting goal metrics, uncovering strategic insights, and storytelling with data. You have the soft skills & personal qualities that tend to make data scientists successful – attention to accuracy, interpreting data faithfully, speaking persuasively in public, and writing concisely and clearly. You have experience with other technical data science skills, especially experimenting, designing analytic events, & data warehousing. You may have a grounding in mathematics/statistics and a bachelor's degree in a STEM area. You have worked in a tech company before and are familiar with the way a tech company operates and some of the concepts particular to our industry (e.g. growth accounting, product funnels, designing analytic events, etc.). You have experience with R or Python and have dealt with large datasets before.
