Head of TPM

We're hiring the Head of Technical Program Manager for Engineering Excellence.
The Engineering Excellence team is building and delivering platforms, tools, and services for Atlassian's engineers to build Atlassian products.
As Head of TPM, you will bring executive leadership necessary to transform and drive the Engineering Excellence strategy.
In this role, you will demonstrate innovative thinking, collaborative problem-solving skills, as well as a passion for working in a highly cross-functional environment. This is a unique opportunity to influence important technical decisions across the company. You will be working with world-class engineering teams and experts to build solutions while breaking down technical barriers and strengthening existing systems.
You will be leading and growing a team of TPMs.
As a member of the TPM team, you will also shape the TPM craft, which is still in a formation stage. We envision TPMs to have strong technical depth, ability to shape product strategy and drive its execution in close collaboration with stakeholders across numerous crafts and product areas.
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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Responsibilities:

• Analyze the current state of engineering tools and processes, business objectives, customer needs, adoption inhibitors, industry trends, and based on these, in close collaboration with your stakeholders, define a long-term strategy and roadmap for Engineering Excellence.
• Ensure translation of the strategy and platform/product requirements into technical requirements and solutions in collaboration with your partner teams and engineering counterparts.
• Streamline the execution of the articulated roadmap. This will require scoping and execution of numerous programs, and assign the appropriate leaders for each of them.
• Drive adoption/usage of your solutions and tools across Atlassian products and external partners and customers.
• While this list highlights the most common responsibilities, I want to emphasize the importance of the sense of ownership that you will have for your platform and products, programs, customer scenarios. This means that you will need to proactively identify any inhibitors, issues or opportunities, and proactively address them yourself or find the right owners to do so. The bottom line is that you are a true owner of your area and the buck stops with you.
• Hire and enable professional and career growth of your team members.
• As a senior member of the Engineering community, you may be driving some of the most complex, cross-divisional projects/initiatives. This could include managing complex dependencies and projects with a broad scope across the company
