Do you want to be part of an incredible growth company - to have a chance to be a strategist but also do hands-on work that makes an impact? Atlassian is looking for a communications professional to craft and nurture the stories we share with the world.

You will drive communications for Atlassian in the UK and the wider EMEA region, helping shape our unique point of view on all aspects of work, from great culture and teamwork practices to how work will change over the next decade with AI. You will help us maintain and build upon existing thought leadership and work on the narratives and tactics that advance the company’s corporate position globally. In this role, you’ll help build the future of Atlassian's reputation and act as a strategic communications partner to our leaders across the company, helping them clearly articulate their vision.

Sitting within the marketing team, you’ll be part of the global corporate communications team, reporting to the Senior Corporate Communications Manager, EMEA, based in Germany.

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.

In this role, you’ll get to:

Build and lead the execution of a UK integrated communications strategy with the goal to build Atlassian’s brand, product awareness and customer base.

Manage and partner closely with Atlassian’s UK communications agency, and partner with additional agencies across EMEA to deliver on our regional comms goals.

Partner closely with the EMEA senior corporate communications manager, the wider corporate communications team, and the product communications team to develop narratives across the Atlassian brand related to the future of work, AI, and innovation.

Provide strategic communications counsel and support to our executive team and other senior leaders, including in-depth briefings for media interviews, speaking opportunities, and event participation.

Lead the ideation, development, pitching, and placement of Atlassian brand stories in top-tier tech, business, and financial media, in print, digital, and broadcast outlets.

Partner with the crisis comms team in the management of any crises across the EMEA region.

Handle all inbound media, event and speaking requests for Atlassian’s brand in the UK and where relevant, EMEA.

Establish metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of communication strategies and provide regular reports on media coverage, campaign performance, and other key insights.

More about you:

On your first day, we'd love you to have:

Minimum of 6+ years of communications experience with B2B enterprise technology either in-house or at an agency.

Exceptional relationships with UK business and technology journalists and influencers.

A knack for knowing what will interest media and how to shape messaging for different audiences.

Great writing skills, with a love for penning messaging platforms, pitches, blogs, and executive speaking points.

Experience in influencing key decision-makers on communications programs.

Top-notch decision-making skills: ability to prioritize competing opportunities and articulate the rationale behind decisions.

Ability to build and run communications programs, independently.

Ability to manage budgets and agencies.

A healthy sense of humour, and a how-can-I-help, get-it-done demeanour.

Not required but a plus: Experience in running communication programs or campaigns across several markets in EMEA

Not required but a plus: Fluency in another European language, e.g. French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Polish

More about our team

Everything we do on the communications team is driven by business impact. We work collaboratively and cross-functionally but every project has one owner who is empowered as the key decision maker. We have a distributed team united by our shared goals. We determine success metrics up front and restlessly drive towards them. We strive for transparency and awareness in everything we do, but we are comfortable not knowing the details of everything. We embrace our “open company, no bullshit” value and have the grit to tell it like it is. We're good listeners. We move really fast. We take risks and fail (which is OK!). We take away vital lessons to ensure we don't repeat the same mistakes again. We play as a team.

Atlassian offers a wide range of perks and benefits designed to support you, your family and to help you engage with your local community. Our offerings include health and wellbeing resources, paid volunteer days, and so much more. To learn more, visit go.atlassian.com/perksandbenefits .
