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 flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a hub in San Francisco, which is now home to our US operations. 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.
As the Senior Finance Systems Engineer - Revenue, you will be primarily responsible for the management of our revenue system landscape - facilitating any system updates and changes to support the ongoing revenue reporting and compliance requirements in a hyper-growth environment.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
- Developing a deep understanding of the end-to-end B2B & B2C revenue system landscape and triage all major changes to any of these systems or related integrations
- Oversee the ongoing system and process improvement projects across various stakeholders including Revenue Platform Engineering, Finance Data Platform, Business Data Platform and the Finance Revenue Operations teams, as well as external vendors that Canva works with (E.g. Zuora)
- Stay up-to-date with any changes in the revenue system landscape and assist the Finance team in managing any impacts on the systems or the underlying business logic to financial reporting
- Assist the Finance team in implementing ongoing system monitoring controls (SOX & ITGC) and audits to ensure data accuracy, compliance, and adherence to established policies and procedures
- Perform investigations related to troubleshooting and technical root cause analysis in collaboration with various stakeholders to provide permanent solutions
- Continuously assess system performance and identify areas for improvement, implementing optimisation strategies to enhance efficiency and user experience
- Collating and maintaining all relevant documentation throughout the process as required by various teams from advisors, auditors and management
We're looking for a capable and driven systems engineer who can operate with autonomy while actively collaborating with senior team members. You'll need to bring a strong foundation in billing or revenue systems, and a proactive mindset to deliver high-quality solutions in a fast-paced environment.
You're probably a match if you have
- 5+ years experience in financial systems management supporting the revenue recognition domain; past experience in a public company or SOX environment is highly desirable
- Experience managing systems across the lifecycle of concept development, design, integration, test, maintenance and retirement of established revenue systems, preferably Zuora and/or equivalent systems (E.g. SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce)
- Experience in implementing revenue systems and integrations with third-party systems and tools, such as automation and data warehouses
- Experience providing revenue system administration and support, including troubleshooting technical issues and optimising system performance
- Proficiency in producing SQL scripts and use other data analytical software tools to investigate data and gather relevant information
- Solid knowledge of the revenue recognition process and applicable accounting standards such as IFRS 15/ ASC 606, along with the ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions is greatly valued
We’d also love if you had:
- Ability to operate and be successful in high growth B2B and B2C environments, and thrive on problem solving and dealing with ambiguity, willing to get your hands dirty when needed. Be comfortable with chaos.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Ability to balance attention to detail and managing competing priorities
- Proactive, independent to get work done and collaborative to bring people on the journey. We are a team of team players!
