• Strategic Product Expansion: Drive wins in emerging Atlassian product areas (e.g., Jira Service Management, Atlassian Intelligence) to expand the footprint and solve complex cross-departmental challenges.
• Mentorship & Enablement: Complete all mandatory certifications and proactively contribute to the growth of the team by mentoring junior AEs/SDRs and sharing regional market insights.
