Do you want to be part of the team driving Atlassian's business in Uk & Ireland? Have you managed a channel business before and want to do it at a hyper-growth company and in an non-salesy business model? Atlassian's low-touch model together with our existing channel partners has served us very well, but we also understand that at scale, doing business in this territory requires a stronger local presence.
The Channel Manager's primary responsibility is to focus on extending Atlassian's business model through the recruitment and development of a portfolio of consulting and services Partners. The Manager will be responsible for finding, growing and shaping partners to build Atlassian mind and market share in the region. Atlassian is growing and we are building out our channel with System Integrator partners. We are looking for an exceptional individual who understands the channel business, and also understands how to grow and manage a region. Recruiting and enabling partners is a large part of the position, as is the ability to drive marketing and sales activities with your partners to increase brand awareness and Atlassian product adoption.
 
More about you
You are highly motivated and have experience in recruiting and managing partners in the software industry and you have also worked in consultancy/services organisations. You understand the complexities of working with small and large partners, each with their own culture, challenges and opportunities. You have worked with enterprise accounts but you're also an all-rounder who can actively contribute to local marketing and community activities. “Recruit, Enable and Sell” is your motto, and partners actually enjoy doing business plans with you. You want a new challenge at a hyper-growth company, and are not afraid of new business models.

The Channel Manager is located in the UK and is a fully remote position, with access to flexible workspace in London and our EMEA HQ in Amsterdam.
You are fluent in English.

Here's an idea of the kinds of things you'll get to do:

  • recruit and develop new partners, focusing on larger regional system integrators;
  • perform a region gap analysis to identify which partners to recruit;
  • demonstrate the business opportunity, sell “Atlassian” and our solutions offerings
  • drive the top partners and developing partners;
  • drive local field marketing events and trade shows;
  • present/speak at local events;
  • be the internal spokesperson for the territory;
  • Excited about those options, and have a few ideas of your own? We'd love to hear how your skills could support our mission!
