Overview

Your future team

We are seeking a Senior Principal Technical Program Manager to join our Program Management (Technical) Team. As a key member of this dynamic group, you will be responsible for driving the successful delivery of strategic programs in support of Atlassian's most complex and critical transformations.

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

  • Develop and execute program strategy, roadmap, and timeline, aligning with business objectives and stakeholder.
  • Drive the execution of transformative central programs including program establishment, planning, resourcing, risk and issue mitigation, decision-making, and reporting as well as managing program scope, budget, and resources, ensuring effective allocation and utilization.
  • Partner closely with architects and engineering leaders to provide technical direction and Design inputs.
  • Define and refine the program transformation processes for end to end large-scale programs and adding those frameworks to the Atlassian system of working.
  • Accelerate transformations through risk and issue mitigation, timely reporting, and identifying/driving/influencing cross-functional velocity improvement initiatives.
  • Confidently partner with leaders and stakeholders– engineering, product, design, GTM and platform teams to drive prioritization, decision making and rapid execution.
  • Foster collaboration and communication among teams, stakeholders, and executives.


Qualifications

  • 10 years experience in software teams working in Engineering, Program Management or TPM
  • Strategic thinking and ability to understand business objectives to translate them into technical programs.
  • Demonstrated experience and success leading complex, high-impact, technical, cross-functional programs.
  • Strong leadership, organizational, and communication skills


Preferred Qualifications

  • Highly desired experience building and delivering large scale enterprise platforms. Experience with working in the US Government, sovereign or isolated perimeters is preferred.
  • A B.S. in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or Technical Discipline
  • Experience leading Program Management or TPM initiatives for well-respected technology companies that have become leaders in their space
  • Experience with US GOVT Cloud


Compensation

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience. In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:

Zone A: $221,500 - $295,300

Zone B: $199,300 - $265,800

Zone C: $183,800 - $245,100

This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.

Please visit go.atlassian.com/payzones for more information on which locations are included in each of our geographic pay zones. However, please confirm the zone for your specific location with your recruiter.
