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.
Your future team
Atlassian's second flagship product, Confluence, is evolving into a connected knowledge workspace for all teams.

This leader will bring a new look to our end to end experience across Confluence, unlocking a seamless experience for our customers. As a Design Manager, you will lead a team of product and content designers, while partnering with cross-functional leaders to deliver in a fast-paced environment. You'll be responsible for the Content Lifecycle team's experience strategy and vision, as well as the delivery of high-quality design work that delivers on business outcomes.

- Collaborate closely with our platform teams to deliver innovative, cohesive end-to-end experiences
- Champion the design craft and help shape our processes, practices, and culture

- Confidence in presenting work and getting others on board with a chosen design direction
- A proven track record of effective collaboration with Product Management, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams
- Strong communication, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration skills that you demonstrate in the way you work across multiple teams, solicit and synthesize feedback, and facilitate design discussions
