You'll do all of this in tight coordination with our Channel Partners, Product Specialists, and Marketing organization.
There is simply not a more exciting and hugely impactful strategic selling opportunity anywhere. Is this the opportunity for you? In this role, you'll get to:

• Define and implement a clear vision for your territory and plan/communicate regularly on funnel/account/territory status, resource requirements, challenges, and successes.
• Work cross-functionally with other parts of the Atlassian family (channel managers, SEs, marketing, services, support, product management and finance/legal) to ensure prospects are fully educated on the benefits of Scaled Agile, Atlassian’s unparalleled technology offering, as well as what it takes to guarantee ultimate success in their digital/agile transformations.
• Partner, partner, partner - amazing accomplishments are the result of great teamwork, and success at the enterprise level “takes a community”. Work closely and openly with Atlassian partner management as well as directly with our partners who range from the world’s largest IT service providers to other sales and service firms of all shapes and sizes.
• “Be the change you seek” and demonstrate unselfish leadership while helping Atlassian to continuously improve our ability to better serve our marketplace.
• And never, ever &@%# the customer.

On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

• Excellent business insight! Understanding of how to position, sell and negotiate value, calculate return on investment, and strategic selling.
• Mastered executive communication, but also feel comfortable working with technology evaluation and procurement teams.
• A big EQ.
• While highly proficient and confident, you remain coachable and strive to be the very best. Your ego is fully in-check.
• You aren't satisfied until our customers are enthusiastic references.
• An extreme sense of responsibility and accountability. We have ambitious goals and need you to execute relentlessly to “get stuff done”.
