Team Lead, Enterprise Customer Retention (Remote)
Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity, assuming candidates have eligible working rights and a sufficient timezone overlap with their team. As our offices re-open, Atlassians can choose to work remotely or return to an office, unless it’s necessary for the role to be performed in the office. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Job description
We are looking for an experienced Manager who can develop, champion, and motivate a skilled group of Enterprise Loyalty Advocates, who are responsible for the health of our Enterprise retention business. With over 200,000 customers worldwide, our Enterprise Loyalty Advocate team drives retention for the top 10% of customers in their respective regions; focusing on renewal and expansion activities across Atlassian’s full product portfolio, including Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Trello and Jira Align.

You will manage the daily team operations and help define customer engagement strategies, while also seeking to improve and standardize various processes and systems in coordination with relevant stakeholders. Your experience will allow you to provide expert knowledge of customer engagement models in order to drive performance improvements. You'll effectively and creatively oversee the team's day-to-day, including team stand-ups, meetings, resource planning, load balancing, target setting, projects, and cross-functional collaboration.
We are looking for someone who possesses strong leadership skills, with the ability to lead through change. You must be results-driven, and possess an innate ability to empathize with Atlassian stakeholders, Solution Partners, and customers. We want a team player who can demonstrate both strong leadership skills and humility in an organization that prides itself on its open, honest, and supportive culture.
