- Leveraging the power of Canva's data and systems in combination with qualitative and quantitative research to generate hypotheses, plan and deliver high-impact research that drives growth across the region.
- Producing highly actionable and authoritative insights that impact our growth initiatives and marketing strategy for LatAm while balancing business requirements and research rigour.
- Partnering with the Head of Marketing Research to ensure LatAm insights inform global research programs and strategy, while adapting global frameworks to work effectively in LatAm context.
- Building strong relationships with cross-functional stakeholders across LatAm and globally, becoming a trusted advisor on customer insights and market intelligence for the region.
