Product Advocate
Atlassian is continuing to hire with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. All new and existing Atlassians will continue to work from home until it’s safe to return to our offices. When our offices re-open, we will provide the choice to work from home or return to work in an office unless a job requirement makes it necessary for a particular role to be performed at an Atlassian office.
At Atlassian, we've built a billion dollar, fast-growing business based on high-quality products, free trials and a focus on customer satisfaction. Interested evaluators convert to paying customers, activating a prolific "Flywheel" that has delivered 150,000+ customers to date. Our Product Advocate team comes into play prior to or during a customer’s evaluation journey, and serve as the product experts to help connect our solutions with their needs. We inspire trial activations and ultimately purchases by supporting customers with recommendations and resources based on our deep product knowledge of features and functionalities. In turn, we provide our product and marketing teams with customer feedback to guide roadmap prioritization and messaging optimization.
As the ultimate mission of our team is to provide best-in-class customer support, our success metrics are built to reflect this. Responding to customers in a timely manner and capturing their satisfaction with our response, are the two biggest ways we measure success. We need folks who are passionate about giving accurate, helpful information to our pre-evaluators and evaluators so they can make an informed decision. We rely on our products, and our knowledgeable team of Product Advocates explaining the benefits of those products, to drive sales.
