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.
We're looking for Head of Business Architecture to lead a team through complex cross-functional business problem solving. As part of the Operations Enablement Team (OET) within our Customer Support Services department, the Business Architecture function solves how we'll deliver on planned capabilities. The Business Architecture team sets up OET for successful execution and is therefore critical to achieving our mission of scaling the CSS org.
Our portfolio of work encompasses everything necessary to scale the CSS organization. Today this looks like eight concurrent transformations across problem areas like migrations, tooling transformation, talent enablement, and more. Given our scale, this challenge increases in scope every day; the complexity, speed, and breadth are all on upward trajectories.
Are you excited about complex problem solving? Do you love navigating across multiple business contexts? Can you drive a team to quickly gather context and generate multiple paths forward? If so, we can't wait to have you join us!
You'll be a leading a growing team of Business Architects who are directly responsible for this problem solving. Success is multivariate, but includes delivering business requirements for subsequent execution through your peer groups. Once deployed, these capabilities should achieve their measurable success criteria. Example problems your team would solve are: How will we leverage our extensive partner network? How should we make sure we are delivering the right service levels to the right customers? How can we scale our migrations tooling? And many more
What you are accountable for

• Maintaining a rolling six quarter view into the business and staffing your team with the right number of people with the right skill sets to solve the business problems.
• Dynamic risk management; what's going to block your team? What uncertainty do we have in our solutions and how we do drive risk out?
• Developing deep understanding across the portfolio to help give our leadership team recommendations on where to focus.

What your team is accountable for

• Delivering effective business requirements that solve the stated problem / deliver the necessary capability.
• Maintaining close relationships with downstream execution to make decisions in service of driving the outcome.
• Effectively communicating the story of your solutions to get alignment across the business.

On the first day, we'll expect you to have

• 8+ years managing teams from business architecture, product management, strategy management, program management or business analysis.
• Experience leading teams through building a program from scratch, developing a strategy informed by research.
• Demonstrated ability to move ideas into concrete tactics, including anticipating challenges and helping programs get unblocked.
• It's great, but not required, to have experience working in a dynamic software company with operations and support teams located in different geographies.
