  • Streamline the execution of the articulated roadmap. Evangelize adoption/usage of the platform and tools across Atlassian executives and product teams.
  • While this list highlights the most common responsibilities, I want to emphasize the importance of the sense of ownership that you will have for your platforms and products, programs. This means that you will need to proactively identify any inhibitors, issues or opportunities, and proactively address them yourself or find the right owners to do so. The bottom line is that you are a true owner of your area and the buck stops with you.
  • As a senior member of the Foundations org, you will be driving some of the most complex, cross-divisional projects/initiatives. This will likely include managing complex dependencies and projects with a broad scope across the company
