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
We're looking for an experienced Payroll Specialist to join Canva's Payroll party, to be responsible for leading the end-to-end payroll process for multiple countries, ensuring Canvanauts are paid accurately, on time, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This is a 6-month contract role with the flexibility to work remotely anywhere in Australia.
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.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
- Preparing end-to-end payroll processing for multiple countries, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timeliness.
- Apply payroll laws, regulations, and tax requirements globally, ensuring our payroll processes are compliant.
- Driving continuous improvement within the payroll team and implementing best practices to enhance efficiency, data integrity and accuracy.
- Providing analytical skills by catching and escalating complex payroll issues and ensuring excellent customer service.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to communicate and implement payroll-related changes, policies, and procedures.
- As the Payroll team continues to transform processes and systems, this will be a great opportunity to be involved in multiple projects and initiatives.
- You have a Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, or a related field. A Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or Global Payroll Management Institute (GPMI) designation is a plus.
- You have payroll processing experience in Australia, the United States and/or Europe.
- You have a generalist understanding payroll regulations, tax laws, and labor legislation globally.
- You pay attention to the details, and ensure accuracy in payroll calculations and data entry.
- You're proficient in using payroll software and systems such as Infinet Cloud, ADP, Workday or similar platforms, and have proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets.
- You're an exceptional communicator who can work cross-functionally, solve problems creatively, and implement solutions.
Canva's Payroll team is a part of the Finance and Legal Group, predominantly based in Australia, with growing teams in the Philippines, EMEA and the United States. We manage payroll for our ever-growing community of Canvanauts worldwide.
As Canva continues to grow and expand globally, the payroll function faces increased complexity in scaling operations and compliance. We are expanding the team, adding technical expertise and operational skills to help Canva achieve its crazy big goals.
With payroll being one of the most critical functions in Finance, the team plays a significant role in making Canva one of the best places to work. We are dedicated to ensuring that every Canvanaut is paid accurately and on time, providing an excellent employee experience.
