Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

About this role:

Teamwork Platform crafts experiences that bridge across the Atlassian product family as connective tissue. From Automation, Data Experiences, Linking Experiences, and Media, through to powering the foundation of our AI and connected experiences layer through Teamwork Graph. We are on the lookout for a Design Manager to drive delivery across a number of exciting initiatives across the Teamwork Platform Design team, with a specific focus on analytics & data visualisation.


In this role, you will:

  • Dive deep into the pixels and prose of our products & experiences, giving the designers you support the guidance needed to deliver exceptional and delightful experiences that sweat the details.

  • Nurture and grow a high-performing team of 5-7 designers across Australia & North America, empowering them with the right guidance, frameworks, and support to help them to do the best work of their lives.

  • Drive high quality execution across the design delivery of data visualisation & analytics projects in partnership with our Lead Design ICs, incredible team of Product & Content Designers & cross-functional partners.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with some of the smartest (and nicest) people in the industry. Day-to-day you'll work closely with Engineers, Product Managers, Content Designers, Marketing Experts, and Analysts to develop a shared vision, champion the user experience in our products and ship impactful work.

Your background:

  • 8+ years of hands-on professional experience as a UX or product designer working on software tools, complex enterprise applications or in e-commerce

  • At least 3 years leading and managing a team with a genuine passion for developing and growing others

  • Exceptional design craft skillset in one or more Design disciplines, enabling you to lead through your expertise and guide a high-performing design team towards craft excellence. Ideally you have demonstrated deep craft expertise in interaction design, prototyping, content design, or visual design

  • Experience in planning and driving direction autonomously — both as a hands-on designer, and as a manager

  • Strong ability to build relationships at all levels, with experience partnering closely with PM & Engineering crafts alongside a complex product delivery.

  • Strong communication, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration skills that you demonstrate in the way you work across multiple teams, solicit and synthesise feedback, and facilitate design discussions
