Senior Manager, Infrastructure Finance

Job Description Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. Hello, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte! 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 global HQ is in Sydney, Australia, and as we continue to grow in our largest global market, we’ve made our way from down under to San Francisco. Our Jackson Square campus blends the neighborhood’s vibrant downtown charm with Canva’s signature flair. The space is designed for both deep work and collaboration, along with spaces for Canvanauts to relax, recharge, and connect. We offer flexibility in how and where you work. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals. What you’d be doing in this role As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve. Commitments are getting larger and more complex as AI workloads scale, new providers land and negotiation cycles come up almost every quarter. This role owns the single Finance view of that portfolio and of the capacity behind it: what we have committed to, how fast we are using it, where we can flex down, and what it does to margin and free cash flow. You'll sit alongside the hosting and Product & GenAI finance teams, owning the cross cutting view that both lean on, and partnering with Accounting on how shortfalls and prepayments land in the P&L. Your work gives the CFO and our business partners confidence in how much we commit, how much we use and where we can flex. If you enjoy turning contract terms and utilisation data into decisions, and you're happy to challenge a demand forecast with evidence, this role is for you. At the moment, this role is focused on: You'll build and maintain the commitment tracker and the models behind it, including ramp, shortfall, rollover and prepayment effects on free cash flow. You'll turn utilisation and usage data from AI Platform and FinOps into a capacity view, across GPU and non-GPU, that Finance can stand behind. You'll own the single reconciled savings baseline, so Platform, Gen AI and Finance report against one number. You'll work with Accounting and technical accounting on when shortfalls and prepayments are recognised and where they land in the P&L. You'll prepare the models and scenario analysis that feed commitment and renewal conversations, including commit sizing, break-even analysis and realised-benefit tracking, and present them to execs and the CFO. You'll partner with the hosting and Product & GenAI finance teams so capacity and commitment assumptions flow into their forecasts and BvA. You'll partner with Procurement, FinOps and Platform on vendor onboarding, contract terms and flex-down dates as new providers land. You'll use AI tools fluently in your daily workflow to build models faster and keep the analysis current. You're probably a match if We're looking for someone who gets excited by contracts, data and finance in equal measure. You read a commitment term sheet and see the ramp, the shortfall and the flex. You're the kind of person who spots the gap between committed and used before anyone else does, and who can explain a trade-off to a non-finance leader in plain language. You've operated in an FP&A function or similar, so the rhythm of monthly close, quarterly forecasting and planning cycles feels familiar. On top of that, you'll bring: 8+ years’ experience in strategic finance, infrastructure or cloud finance, and proven expertise on commitment and capacity questions. Strong financial modelling skills, especially for take-or-pay or committed contracts, ramps and break-evens. Working knowledge of cloud and GPU economics, including Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Capacity Blocks, Committed Use Discounts and neocloud contracts. Strong data proficiency and daily comfort with a BI tool (Mode, Looker, Omni or similar), so you can pull your own numbers and spot where they don't tie. Confidence in challenging senior engineering and procurement stakeholders with data, and the executive communication to take the answer to the CFO. Fluent use of AI tools for model building and daily analytical work. Accounting literacy on prepayments and shortfall recognition is a plus. Experience with Anaplan (or another enterprise planning tool) is a plus. Exposure to FinOps practices and tooling, or experience at a hyperscale or AI-heavy company, is a bonus.

Tech & Product Finance owns the economics of Canva's technical engine, the infrastructure, cloud, compute, GPU and AI investments that power our products and increasingly define our cost base and margin profile. As Canva becomes an AI-native company, these are the fastest-growing and most strategically important lines on the P&L. Within that, Product Finance owns the view of how Canva's products and markets make money. We turn the cost base into gross margin by product and profitability by region, so leaders can see which products, features and markets earn their place and which don't. We partner closely with Product leaders, Technology leaders, and the GTM and International FP&A teams, and with the CFO on the decisions that shape our margin. What's in it for you?
