Atlassian is seeking a visionary and influential Field Chief Technology Officer (fCTO) to serve as a trusted advisor to our most strategic enterprise customers across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The Field CTO helps executives navigate technology, organizational, and business transformation-ensuring that Atlassian's cloud platform delivers measurable, enterprise-grade impact at scale.
This is not a traditional CTO role. As a Field CTO, you will represent Atlassian externally with CxOs and industry leaders while shaping Atlassian internally through roadmap influence, product feedback, and thought leadership. You will operate at the intersection of strategy, technology, and business outcomes-inspiring both customers and Atlassian teams to unlock what's possible.
Working at Atlassian
Atlassians can choose where they work - whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity.

  • Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to ensure enterprise needs are prioritized and reflected in platform investments.
  • Define and track customer success criteria, ensuring enterprise adoption translates into tangible business value.

Customer & Revenue Impact
  • Lead impactful executive engagements-including Executive Briefings, Roundtables, Board-level discussions, and 1:1s-to deepen trust and accelerate adoption.
  • Partner with sales and account teams to expand Atlassian's footprint by framing enterprise solutions in terms of business outcomes and risk mitigation.
  • Identify opportunities for upsell and cross-sell by highlighting enterprise capabilities that drive security, compliance, and governance outcomes.
  • Build long-term trusted relationships with strategic customers, ensuring alignment of Atlassian's roadmap with their enterprise transformation journeys.

Public & Industry Impact
  • Represent Atlassian at regional and global conferences, analyst briefings, and executive forums as a thought leader on enterprise collaboration, security, and transformation at scale.
  • Build relationships with key ecosystem partners, integrators, and regulators to extend Atlassian's industry influence.
  • Publish thought leadership on emerging technology and business trends-including AI, automation, distributed systems, and enterprise collaboration models.
  • Stay ahead of evolving regional and glbal industry and regulatory landscapes to guide both Atlassian and customer strategies.

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. We follow consistent hiring practices and account for each candidate's skills, knowledge, and experience when setting base pay within the range.
This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.
