Apply for this job

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.

We are looking for a passionate leader to run our On-Premises support operations in the Americas. Collaborating with group managers and heads of departments and geos, this position will define strategic direction and operational strategies for our On-Premises products in the Americas support team, identify areas for continuous improvement, contribute to policy definitions, and most importantly develop the talent. This person will collaborate with their peers to champion the support organization's 3-year strategy, more specifically focusing on supporting customers to be successful with using the Data Center deployment option of our products.

To service our customers effectively, you need to be able to build an environment that attracts top talent and nurtures them through training programs, accountability for stretch goals, regular performance management, and calibration exercises. On-Premises products continue to play an important role at Atlassian and the support team is responsible for some of our largest customers. This is an opportunity to play a major role in impacting huge customers, solve complex problems, create and execute a longterm strategy, and provide a major contribute to Atlassian’s goals.

Your success will be based on your ability to:

• Deliver legendary support to On-Premises customers, with special focus on large Enterprises using our Data Center products

• Grow the leadership capability in the org - group managers, front line managers, and their teams

• Attract and nurture top talent

• Monitor and optimize critical business processes and operational metrics
