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 Sydney campus is uniquely Canva - an extension of our Surry Hills neighbourhood. It’s a thoughtfully designed space with plenty of room to collaborate, focus, and connect.
This role is based in Sydney, and we’re looking for someone who calls it home. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
About the role
The People Experience (PX) Insights Partner sits within the People Experience Insights team, a small team dedicated to listening deeply and continuously to the experience of Canvanauts globally. This role sits at the intersection of data, insight, and enablement — playing a key role in analysing the team’s feedback, uncovering what matters most, and shaping it into clear actions that improve the people experience. Where needed, the role also partners with teams to help bring those actions to life.
The PX Insights Partner leads listening rhythms end-to-end, from survey design, launch, comms, analysis, reporting, and tracking actions. We triangulate people sentiment with business metrics and observed patterns to build a global view of the Canvanaut experience. This role partners with other teams across People to drive meaningful changes to our culture.
This is a 12-month fixed-term contract with high autonomy, and requires the judgement to prioritise what matters most from a large and constantly evolving stream of feedback.
