Working at Atlassian

Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Assuming you have eligible working rights and a sufficient time zone overlap with your team, you can choose to work remotely or return to an office as they reopen (unless it’s necessary for your role to be performed in the office). Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

Atlassian's Channel community is growing and we are looking for amazing TEAM members to help us evolve and scale our Specializations Partner program to the next level. You will be a necessary part of the Global Channel Team, leading the Specializations Partner Program for Atlassian.

These programs help our ecosystems of Partners differentiate themselves with solution competencies across Atlassian's 3 major markets - Agile and DevOps, IT Service Management, and Work Management for All.
You are an experienced business leader with industry expertise driving solution partner programs. You will help in the evolution and launch of new specializations, define roadmap plans, and deliver programs that motivate and excite our Solution Partners. The Specializations Partner Programs Team Lead is responsible for the design and effectiveness of the Atlassian Specialization Programs (frameworks, capacity planning and processes for their programs). You will build a specializations program that has Channel Partners investing in practice development and delivering customer success with Atlassian products and solutions.

  • The ability to design and execute a portfolio of balanced programs for external Channel Partners using requirements and rewards to bring a motivational behavior with care for Atlassian's Channel strategy.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, financial/analytical and interpersonal skills working with executive leadership internally and with channel partners. We are looking for a track record in messaging/positioning, program management, and broad execution capabilities. A requirement is to motivate, leverage, and manage our teams on a project basis to accomplish the program strategy.
  • Experience driving business plans, financial models, and data & analytics to justify programs and roadmap.
  • A desire to communicate through dashboards, reports, and charts to communicate and inform your team on progress of projects.
