Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity, assuming candidates have eligible working rights and a sufficient timezone overlap with their team. As our offices re-open, Atlassians can choose to work remotely or return to an office, unless it's necessary for the role to be performed in the office. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

You will drive communications for Atlassian's transformation stories helping to shape our unique point of view on the future of work, on how work practices will change over the next decade, influenced by technological, generational and social shifts. You will help us maintain and build upon existing leadership in workplace and teamwork practices, and work on the narratives and tactics that advance the company's corporate narrative and position around the world.

• Help develop Atlassian's profile around innovation that gains cut through within the US and global markets. Initially this will focus on a differentiated point of view on the Future of Work, team work and work practices but will grow and evolve to feature other programs.
• Lead the identification, development, pitching and placement of Atlassian-related stories in top tier business and financial media worldwide, in print, digital and broadcast outlets.
• Coordinate and manage speaking opportunities for executives, including creating positioning, event submissions, and external presentations.

• An interest in the latest business innovation and the future of work.
• High-energy and the ability to be scrappy and multi-task to prioritize high profile projects and juggle urgent inbound requests with ease.

More about our team
Everything we do on the communications team is driven by business impact. We work collaboratively and cross functionally but every project has one owner who is empowered as the key decision maker. We have a distributed team united by our shared goals. We determine success metrics up front and restlessly drive towards them. We strive for transparency and awareness in everything we do, but we are comfortable not knowing the details on everything. We embrace our "open company, no bullshit" value and have the grit to tell it like it is. We're good listeners, especially the voice of our customer. We move really fast. We take risks and fail (which is OK!). We take away key lessons to ensure we don't repeat the same mistakes again. We play as a team.
