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.
Atlassian is seeking a Program Manager to boost the effectiveness of our teams in the US by leading key technical programs, championing delivery success and operationalising our capability development processes in order to make our delivery hum with effectiveness and efficiency.
R&D Program Managers at Atlassian build trusted networks, seek clarity and deliver complex cross-functional programs as seamlessly as single team projects. Like air traffic controllers they shepherd the safe, orderly, and swift flow of initiatives at Atlassian.
As the ideal Program Manager, you are a dynamic individual who champions delivery excellence, thrives in making order out of moving parts and understands the importance of the teamwork it takes to make programs successful. Alongside leaders and colleagues in the Program Management team, you will develop and apply practices, plays, and agile frameworks to ensure successful project delivery and build pathways for autonomous, empowered, and lasting teams.
A bit about the team:
The Data Platform team aims to give seamless federated access to all data across Atlassian and we believe that all teams should have the ability to access secure data at speed and run ML and insights at scale. Our team has enormous potential to increase the impact of every Atlassian cloud engineer, from those who work on our internal platforms, to those who strive to improve the experiences of our fanatical end-users. But first, we need to empower our own engineering teams, and enable them to do the best work of their lives.
As a Team Data Program Manager , you will understand the 'why' behind strategic plans and manage work to execute them. You will guide reporting mechanisms, craft communications for various audiences (including executives), set project patterns and artefacts for cross-team projects, as well as jump in to help connect and unblock teams.
To be successful in this role you will be able to engage with many cross-functional teams (with varying perspectives!), to shepherd projects aligned to the strategic plan. You will need to deeply understand Atlassian's priorities, and relate them to company level business goals. You are a centre of team spirit, and you craft and implement pathways to up-level the teams working toward a common strategy.
Does this sound exciting to you? You might be the person we're looking for.
You Will:
Run priority programs, to influence the overall success of the Team Data strategy.
Clearly communicate for impact across teams, functions and programs - ensuring broad understanding of status, risks, dependencies, and insights.
Ensure the teams you work with are planning and setting the right goals, and executing on those goals efficiently following good tracking and standardised reporting methods.
Negotiate across many teams and stakeholders to broker commitments and program roadmaps, driving a high degree of predictability; re-baselining based on new information and effectively managing complex dependencies.
Proactively surface program issues and risks early while ensuring clear understanding and resolution/mitigation plans are in place.
