Solutions Enablement Manager
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.

Atlassian is looking for an Enablement specialist to onboard, enable, and train our customer-facing organizations who help Atlassian customers make informed decisions based on the capabilities of Atlassian's products.
