Director, Workforce Intelligence Architect

Role Description

Atlassian’s mission is to unleash the potential of every team — and that starts with our own. As Director, Workforce Intelligence Architect, you'll bring together the data, the models, and the narrative to help our leaders make thoughtful, confident decisions about how work gets done at Atlassian. You'll define how human talent and AI capability work together — as a living, evolving strategy that keeps pace with where the business is going.

• Shape Our AI Workforce Strategy
  • Define how AI creates opportunities to elevate human work at Atlassian, focusing on how we redefine the unit economics of resourcing.
  • Stay ahead of how AI capabilities are evolving and translate those shifts into clear implications for how work gets done and where capacity is needed across the organization.
  • Build the foundational frameworks that help our leaders make consistent, informed decisions about when and where to deploy human talent versus AI capability across the organization, approaching these decisions with rigor and a people-first lens.
  • Partner with senior People and business leaders to connect workforce strategy to enterprise priorities, shaping how we structure and invest in our teams for an AI-enabled environment.
• Build & Operate the Strategic Workforce Modeling Program
  • Design and maintain integrated capacity models and planning capabilities that help Atlassian plan confidently across a range of futures, from varying rates of AI adoption to shifts in business strategy.
  • Partner with key stakeholders such as Lighthouse and Workforce FP&A to evolve how we plan and account for the full cost of work — modeling both employee costs and AI/token spend as a unified view of how Atlassian invests in getting work done.
  • Lead org effectiveness analysis including spans and layers, structural scenarios, and role design to ensure we're organized in ways that maximize impact, innovation, and efficiency.
  • Leverage Atlassian's own products and AI-powered tools to build, manage, and continuously improve the workflows and systems that underpin our workforce strategy.
• Turn Complexity into Clarity
  • Translate sophisticated workforce models and scenario analyses into sharp, executive-ready narratives that give leaders the confidence to make well-informed decisions.
  • Define and track the metrics that matter including capacity shifts, role evolution, productivity signals, and AI impact, and use them to continuously sharpen the strategy.
  • Maintain a sharp external perspective on AI capability trends, labor market dynamics, and emerging org design thinking, bringing relevant benchmarks and market intelligence into our planning approach.
