Overview

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.

Atlassian is on a mission to unleash the potential of every team and we are making significant investments into our public sector vertical. We partner with agencies like NASA, Department of Veterans Affairs, Air Force, many State and Local Governments and the largest Federal Systems Integrators to advance humanity through the power of software and collaboration. We have over 250,000 customers worldwide, and our Public Sector Enterprise Advocates are working with our largest and most strategic customers in government to scale their investments in Atlassian.

Responsibilities

As a Public Sector Account Executive you are responsible for deeply understanding your customers and how they are leveraging Atlassian's suite of products. You will be nurturing and growing existing relationships and working diligently to build new ones. Through strategic account planning, client management, and consistent demonstration of value creation, you will drive the execution of our profound goals, most notably our customers migration to our FedRAMP cloud offering.

At the same time, you will be the customer account lead, setting direction and guiding orchestration for all of our support and cross functional teams who engage with our customers on their journey with Atlassian, such as Channel Partners, Solutions Engineers, and more. You will be a critical liaison between our executives in product and engineering and our customers to help guide direction of future roadmap and constantly improve our customer experience.

Are you customer-obsessed and creative? Can you effectively organize resources to meet the needs of our customers? Do you love the Enterprise Sales process and can help us apply your knowledge to the Atlassian sales model? If so, we'd love you on our team!

This is a career changing opportunity for the right Enterprise professional. You would report directly into the Director of Federal Sales.
