Program Managers at Atlassian strive to be experts in three main pillars: Program Delivery, turning Strategy to Action, and delivering Organisational Excellence.

You’ll understand the importance of teamwork to make programs successful. Alongside our leaders, such as Engineering, Product, and Design, and colleagues in the Program Management team; you will apply practices, plays, and Agile frameworks to ensure successful project delivery and build pathways for autonomous, and empowered teams.

What you’ll do:

• Run priority programs, to influence the success of the Program’s strategy.
• Communicate 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 implementing those goals following good tracking and standardised reporting methods.
• Use change management techniques to ensure the mindset shift, adoption, and sustained improvement initiated by the change the program is driving.
• Build and monitor team health to ensure teams are working well together, create team spirit, and contribute to a shared understanding of goals.

Your background:

• Minimum 5 years recent relevant experience, in a similar Project / Program Manager position; including complex Agile, software or platform related programs.
• You’ve managed projects from end to end – strategy through to delivery phases; and understand SDLC.
• You have experience with Scrum and Agile methodologies, and are able to draw upon best practices, patterns and Agile frameworks to build pathways for teams.
• Experience working with dispersed, cross functional, technical and non-technical teams; which ideally include design, product, and engineering teams.
• Although not essential, it would be advantageous if you have previous experience working for a large enterprise, and strong knowledge of change management components and principles.

Does this sound exciting to you? You might be the person we’re looking for.
