Job Summary

Atlassian Field Services delivers practical solutions guidance to our largest customers, to help them plan and achieve transformational outcomes faster, resulting in exceptional value to their business from Atlassian's products. 

In this role as Services Solutions Advocate you will connect with the customer's key business and technical decision makers and understand what outcomes they are looking to achieve with their investment in Atlassian's suite of products.  You will shape a solutions sales motion jointly with Atlassian's enterprise teams & our Solutions Partners, to tailor a prescriptive package of services that is inclusive of Atlassian's enterprise services offerings and the Partner's services capabilities - as a complete outcome-focused solution offering.

You will engage customers early in the services funnel to nurture their solution need, and then work collaboratively with each of these teams to shape a customer solution proposal. 

You will also work with Atlassian's internal sales teams to align dependencies between the software and services sales pipeline for the region, and understand at anytime which opportunities are jointly in flight, and coordinate customer engagement in those opportunities to unlock customer uptake of Atlassian's enterprise services.

  • Experience with conducting customer background research on company strategy and compelling events, and presenting solutions tailored to address key business needs
  • Strong communication skills – written and oral
  • Ability to influence, build trust, and foster relationships with peers and customer stakeholders, developing strategic customer relationships and services adoption outcomes

  • It would be great if you also had some of the following:

  • Experience with Atlassian products
  • Basic understanding of the use of software development, project management collaboration and code quality software
  • Experience with Salesforce
