Atlassian is continuing to hire for all open roles with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. Everyone new to the team, along with our current staff, will temporarily work from home until it is safe to return to our offices.


Job description

As a Manager with the Operations Enablement team, you will own critical initiatives and lead a passionate team of Program Managers to deliver outcomes for the Customer Support and Success (CSS) organization. The person in this role will inspire and energize cross-functional teams to achieve our vision, define our strategy, evaluate our business, and find opportunities to work better and deliver value to our customers. You will deliver highly visible, high-impact programs and coach your team of experienced and skilled program managers.

More about you

Using business insights, deep program management skills, and analytical experience, you will partner directly with operations leaders as well as our IT, Design, Analytics (and many more!) partners to deliver successful outcomes against our OKRs. You will lead your team to continue to build structure and rigor in our practices, build mastery in our program management craft, and inspire creativity and innovation. You will help the broader team reinforce customer empathy, build long term strategies and roadmaps, establish feedback and learning loops, and measure outcomes. Your work will positively impact our CSS teammates and help achieve greater outcomes, build deeper partnership, and do so with excitement and enthusiasm.

Our team helps build and optimize the ecosystem (tools, data, processes, people) for CSS across a global footprint. To be successful, you will be a big picture problem solver and able to dive deep into the details across every aspect of CSS. You will need to understand how a large scale business operates and be able to hold your own in high level, high stakes, strategic decision-making sessions.

Does this sound exciting to you? You may be the person we are looking for!

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead, inspire, and coach 1-3 Program Managers
  • Be accountable for your team’s outcomes, performance, and health
  • Run high-visibility, high-impact programs (which vary from technical delivery, analytics deep dives, operational efficiency, and change management)
  • Work across the organization and company to drive outcomes, align with business owners and stakeholders, mitigate risk, and bring value to internal and external customers
  • On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

  • 8+ years of program management experience and proficiency and passion for the craft
  • 2+ years experience leading a program management team with a focus on business operations, consulting, product management, and/or CSS
  • A strong passion for people leadership, matched by the ability to inspire teams to understand business needs, solve customer problems, and deliver measurable outcomes
  • Experience in strategy and program delivery with focus on agile methodologies, alignment across a matrix team environment, and global change management
  • Expert level ability to communicate directly and clearly, with a strong emphasis on careful listening
  • Solid instincts in business strategy matched with deep analytical thinking. You're comfortable leading a team in defining and driving success measures across a program and a portfolio.
  • It's great, but not required if you have:

  • Proficiency in Jira and Confluence
  • Coaching experience with various program and project management methodologies
  • More about our team

    You'll be joining a growing team based in Austin, TX with programs that span our global Customer Support & Success footprint. As Program Managers, we build trusted networks, seek clarity, and serve as the drivers and the glue to ensure teams deliver on complex, cross-functional programs.

    As a team, we challenge each other constantly to improve our outcomes. We band together to develop and apply practices, patterns, and frameworks that deliver impact and enable and empower our operations team. We're direct, focused, and demand excellence, but there's laughter in every meeting because we enjoy the work we do and the impact it has. BBQ, tacos, and coffee are a few of our favorite things.
