Our team focuses on value selling, helping customers understand how our products combine to create transformative enterprise solutions. We operate with a 'play as a team' value, supporting each other and celebrating collective wins. Our employees work with Atlassian, not for Atlassian.
This team offers high earnings potential within the vast enterprise market, selling impactful cloud and AI-driven products.

- Lead engaging value-based demonstrations, both standard and customized, adapting to various stakeholder needs from deep individual product dives to presenting the overarching portfolio vision.
- Understand, lead, and guide the customer's technical requirements during the sales process to secure buy-in for Atlassian as the optimal solution.
- Forge strong partnerships with aligned account executives, regularly discussing pipeline, current and upcoming opportunities, sharing bi-directional feedback, and collaboratively enhancing the selling cycle.
- Document and share product feedback and competitive intelligence from customers internally to advocate for product development with product management.

- A continuous learner who enjoys challenging themselves, is open to feedback, tolerates failure, thrives on success, and is passionate about ensuring customer and Atlassian success.
