- Hey, 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 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

- Lead the design and execution of the significant finance transformation program to get Canva large company ready.
- Lead the Finance target operating model strategy, influencing how we best structure to deliver to Canva's changing business needs.
- Manage the finance project portfolio, ensuring projects and programs contribute to strategic Finance objectives and priorities.
- Ensure the allocation of the right resources across our project portfolio ensuring the right balance between keeping the ship running and optimizing quality outcomes on projects.
- Manage interdependencies between projects and service providers to ensure the minimization of conflict, project debt, and delay.
- Coach, guide and upskill team members within the Transformation Office and promote a culture of high performance. Hiring in and scaling the team as required to meet its objectives.

**What we’re looking for**:

- A strong program management discipline rooted in finance transformation expertise who sees and communicates the bigger picture clearly with a strong desire to make a meaningful impact.
- You enjoy operating in a fluid environment and are able to adapt quickly with a focus on structure, clarity, and outcomes.
- You strive for excellence and empower your teams through excellent communication skills and are excited by the idea of solving complex problems.
- Experience in defining and executing target operating model strategies across multiple countries and time zones.
- Experience in a progressive large company redefining the role of Finance.
- With exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, you know how to work practically with a range of senior stakeholders across the business and achieve the right balance to achieve compliant desired outcomesInitiative and a proactive approach, balanced with strong business acumen.
- Experience working in the technology/software sector, or within a rapidly scaling global organization.
- You have strong leadership skills and are able to rally teams around complex goals and problem-solving.
