Job description

Working at Atlassian

About Loom

Loom is Atlassian’s async video product — a fast, human way for teams to communicate without another meeting. Instead of typing a long message or scheduling a call, you record a quick video walkthrough, update, or training and share it as a link, and your teammates watch on their own time. Now part of Atlassian, Loom integrates directly into the tools teams already use, syncing into Confluence and powering AI-generated transcripts and summaries through Rovo so no one misses the context. Millions of people already rely on Loom to work together across time zones, and the product is entering an exciting new phase — expanding how async video helps people and AI agents collaborate.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to inform, influence, and execute strategy decisions

• Identify and measure the success of product efforts through forecasting and monitoring of key product metrics to understand trends.
