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.


As the ideal Senior Program Manager within Operations Enablement, you are a master at taking goals, breaking them into measurable results, and creating roadmaps that communicate a path towards delivering capabilities to our business. You are adaptable and understand the need to experiment and pivot in a fast-paced environment that’s always changing. You are a driver, with the ability to spin up a model on a whiteboard, write a strategy page on Confluence, and jump into Jira to create the right structure for your teams' complex work. This role requires an expert communicator to work globally across support, product, design, technical, finance, marketing, and legal teams (and all the other teams we collaborate with on a regular basis).

As the Operation Enablement team, we help build and optimize the ecosystem (tools, data, processes, people) for Customer Support and Success across a global footprint. To be successful in this role, you will need to be a big picture thinker and able to dive deep into the details across every aspect of Customer Support and Success. 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 might be the person we're looking for.

About you:

  • You are attentive to detail and meticulously organized
  • You’re an experienced collaborator and a great communicator
  • You are a systems thinker
  • You know when to run with something on your own and when to ask for help
  • You are passionate about technology, customers, and operations; and you’re ready to help us take teamwork to new heights
  • You are keen to be an individual contributor, but have the confidence to run cross project functional teams
  • In this role you will:

  • Run high-visibility, high-impact strategic programs (which range from technical delivery, analytics deep dives, customer insights, operational efficiency, and change management)
  • Work across the organization and company to drive outcomes, align with business owners and stakeholders, mitigate risk, and deliver value to our internal and external customers
  • Ensure your program team is a smoothly running engine, with healthy team collaboration, efficient program cadences, and effective stakeholder communication
  • On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

  • 10+ years of relevant professional experience in program and portfolio management
  • Experience building strategy based on vision and goals, turning a strategy into executable plans, and driving high visibility and complex projects
  • An analytic rigor, drive to support decisions with data, and ability to make data digestible to varied audiences (big data, financial models, etc.)
  • Experience in diagnosing pain points for teams, moving them to good, and going the extra mile to ensure they are great
  • More about our team

    You'll be joining a growing Operations Enablement 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 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.
