As the Account Executive Manager, SMB+, you will lead a high-performing team focused on accelerating growth, driving expansion, and delivering exceptional customer experiences across Atlassian's highest-potential SMB accounts. This is a commission-based, quota-carrying sales leadership role that reflects the evolution of our SMB+ motion toward a more proactive, growth-oriented, and platform-led sales model.
You will be responsible for coaching and developing a team of SMB+ Account Executives to execute across warm inbound and behavior-based outbound motions, identify and progress high-quality pipeline, and help customers realize greater value from Atlassian's portfolio. This includes leading expansion plays centered on Teamwork Collection, Rovo, and broader tool consolidation opportunities, while supporting emerging motions across AI and Digital Native accounts.
You will partner closely with cross-functional teams across Marketing, Growth, Solutions Engineering, RevOps, Product, and Channel to improve sales efficiency, strengthen forecasting discipline, and scale repeatable plays that align customer needs with Atlassian's strategic priorities. Success in this role requires a leader who has personally built or operationalized AI-driven workflows, bots, and process automations that measurably improved sales efficiency, not just tools adoption. You'll be expected to architect and iterate on the systems your team uses daily, blending product signals, AI-driven workflows, and human selling into a cohesive motion.
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of SMB Account Executives in a commission-based, quota-carrying environment, with clear accountability for pipeline creation, forecast accuracy, and total book of business growth.
- Drive execution across warm inbound and signal-based outbound motions, coaching reps to identify, qualify, and progress expansion opportunities across Teamwork Collection, Rovo, Premium/Enterprise upgrades, and tool consolidation plays.
- Own rigorous pipeline management and forecasting discipline in Salesforce, ensuring high data quality, strong inspection cadences, and early identification of risks and opportunities.
- Support team readiness for emerging growth motions through consultative discovery, value-based positioning, and partnership with Solutions Engineering.
- Design, build, and iterate on automated workflows, bots, and AI-assisted processes (e.g., lead routing, account scoring, call prep, quoting) that reduce manual workload and increase time in high-value customer conversations, owning the full lifecycle from identifying friction to deploying and measuring the solution.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Growth, RevOps, Product, and Channel to refine go-to-market plays, test new motions, and scale repeatable programs that improve conversion, retention, and expansion.

- Experience leading teams across both inbound and proactive outbound motions, with strong operational discipline in pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM hygiene (Salesforce preferred).
- Comfort using AI, automation, and modern sales tooling to improve seller efficiency, prioritization, and execution quality.
