Senior Design Manager, Strategy Collection

Overview

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.

Your Future Org

At Atlassian, Design is all about creating clarity, connection, and joy in how teams experience our products. We’re building a unified experience that feels seamless across every tool—so customers can stay in flow and unlock the full power of our platform.

Your Future Team

You’ll lead design for Strategy Collection, Atlassian’s AI-native Strategic Portfolio Management suite—Focus, Talent, and Align, powered by Rovo—that connects strategic bets, workforce capacity, delivery work, and financials into a single living operational view. This is a 0-to-1, executive-sponsored space where you’ll define how leaders at the world’s largest enterprises see, sense, and steer their businesses.

• Manage, coach, and scale a high-performing team of 5–10 designers.

• Partner as an equal with Product and Engineering leadership on roadmap, prioritization, and strategic bets.

• Champion AI-native design workflows—rapid prototyping, data-driven validation, and compressed discovery-to-delivery cycles.
