Job description

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.

Atlassian is hiring a senior finance leader to oversee and drive our Corporate FP&A team. Reporting into the Head of Revenue and Corporate FP&A, this role will lead the team responsible for corporate planning processes, strategic investment decision analysis, M&A finance, and business insights. This is a highly visible role that works in close partnership with the executive team and our strategy organization.

In this position, you will build, mentor, and lead a high-performing, globally distributed team that owns the company’s long-range and annual operating plan (strategic allocation of resources through execution of annual plan), the corporate roll-up and messaging (telling the story to the board and our investors), and supports company-wide financial strategy and decision-making.

In this role you’ll get to:

• Lead the global corporate FP&A team including hiring, mentoring, and providing clear direction on strategy, goals, and development.

• Lead the Earnings process and take full ownership of the company’s Free Cash Flow model, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and actionable insights to support strategic decision-making.

• Lead budgeting and planning processes, including long-range planning, the annual plan, and monthly/quarterly processes.

• Prepare and deliver executive and board-level reporting, partnering directly with the investor relations team, our CFO and additional C-suite leaders to shape financial narratives and external guidance.

• Own internal messaging on company performance and financial strategy.

• Communicate to all audiences across the company, including Board, C-suite, and the executive leadership team, the Atlassian financial strategy and priorities along with rationale supporting decisions to grow profitably.

• Play a leadership role in shaping the long-term strategic narrative for internal and external partners.

On your first day, we’ll expect you to have:

• 15+ years of progressive experience in finance roles, with at least five years in leadership positions overseeing corporate finance teams.

• Deep experience leading company-wide planning, forecasting, and board-level reporting in a high-growth, public company; SaaS preferred.

• Excellent strategic thinking and analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights.

• Proven leadership abilities, with a track record of building and developing high-performing distributed teams.

• Strong executive presence, and the ability to craft deliver effective narratives. You should have the ability to manage stakeholders at a variety of levels, with particular experience working with and tailoring communication to executives and board members.

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Finance, Accounting, Economics), MBA is a plus.

• Prior experience in the technology industry required, Cloud/SaaS is a strong plus.

Compensation

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience. In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:

Zone A: $238,500 - $311,375

Zone B: $215,100 - $280,825

Zone C: $198,000 - $258,500

This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.
