Atlassian is continuing to hire with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. All new and existing Atlassians will continue to work from home until it’s safe to return to our offices. When our offices re-open, every Atlassian will have the choice to work from an office or from home.

As the Channel Business Development lead for Federal System Integrators (FSIs), you will play a critical role in the further expansion of Atlassian's Government business. You will define our vision for these strategic partnerships and own key initiatives to develop and grow our business in this area. This highly visible position will work across a wide-range of internal teams to create engagement models with our FSI partners that expand our reach.
Using your channel experience and interpersonal skills, you will deliver successful outcomes against our OKRs - measured in both the successful recruitment of partners and our bookings targets. You will work with our channel and field organizations to reinforce the Atlassian brand within government and assist in the growth of our ecosystem.

As the Channel Business Development team, we help expand the footprint of Atlassian in strategic market segments whether through growth with existing partners or new partner engagement. To be successful in this role, you will need to see the big picture but also be able to dive deep into the details across every aspect of our FSI partnerships. You will need to understand how a large scale business operates and be able to hold your own in high level, high stakes, strategic negotiation sessions.
Does this sound exciting to you? You might be the person we're looking for.

More about you:
You are a highly motivated, analytically driven businessperson who views themselves as the CEO of their own business segment. You understand the complexities of the Federal government and specifically the importance of FSI's in the government ecosystem. You also understand the mechanics of processing orders through different contracting vehicles such as GSA and the relationships across different levels of the channel. You focus and drive channel specific initiatives, but also keep an eye on the business as a whole ensuring that decisions are made with long-term growth in mind. You have worked with (or for) FSI Partners directly and understand their culture and business needs. Although you have experience in the enterprise and government space at successful software companies, you don’t like the go-to-market approaches of legacy vendors and want to rewrite the book on how business can be done. If you have channel marketing or technical pre-sales experience, then you are an even better fit.
