Principal Program Manager, Strategic Business Programs

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.

This role involves in-person responsibilities which require attendance in the Seattle office at least 50% of the time, with travel required, as needed, to Mountain View, San Francisco, and Canada.
