Data Science Manager - GTM Sales

About the role

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. We're looking for a data science leader who is energized by GTM problems and motivated to make Sales and CS smarter through data.

Responsibilities

• Coach four data scientists who own the analytical backbone of Canva's B2B Sales and Customer Success teams.
• Set the team's priorities and roadmap in close partnership with Sales, CS, Marketing, and RevOps leaders.
• Balance the urgent with the important and push back when the team is being pulled in too many directions.
• Lead the analytical roadmap for our biggest GTM bets, including pipeline generation, full-funnel reporting, opportunity and account health scoring, sales forecasting, and the build-out of a product-led sales motion.
• Raise the bar on craft, helping your team move beyond ad-hoc analysis into productionised models, semantic layers, and durable data products that the business reaches for again and again.
• Champion the team's use of AI to scale impact, both automating action on signals we already collect and standing up self-serve analytics surfaces so commercial leaders can get the answers they need without going through a data scientist for every question.
• Represent the team's work to senior stakeholders, including QBRs and forecast reviews, translating complex analyses into the punchy, decision-ready narratives that leaders need.
• Grow each of your coachees through actionable feedback, stretch opportunities, and a clear point of view on where their craft is heading next.

Requirements

• Bring multiple years of data science or analytics experience in a B2B SaaS, growth, or GTM context.
• Experience in coaching or formally leading others.
• A strong technical foundation across SQL (Snowflake or equivalent), data modeling (dbt or equivalent), and a modern BI tool (Mode, Looker, or similar).
• A track record of shipping data products that materially shifted how a Sales or CS organisation operated.
• A genuine coaching mindset and a real interest in growing data scientists.

Qualifications

• Genuinely curious about how AI is reshaping data and analytics work.
• Confident communicator who can win the trust of senior commercial leaders.

Skills

• Strong communication skills to translate complex analytical concepts into business decisions for senior commercial leaders.
• Ability to balance strategic with hands-on work, from shaping the analytical narrative for an executive review to debugging queries with coachees.

Benefits

• Equity packages
• Health benefits plans
• 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution
• Inclusive parental leave policy
• An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance
• Flexible leave options
