Why should you apply to this role?

The Principal Enterprise Delivery Manager is responsible for ushering Atlassian’s largest, most complex customers through their transition into the cloud. As the primary stakeholder, you will act as a reliable strategic advisor and technical consultant to senior customer decision-makers, while also leading the delivery and governance of large-scale Cloud migrations.

You bring both business acumen and technical fluency. You will work closely with customer stakeholders and cross-functional teams—including Sales, Solutions, Support, Product Management, Channel Partners, and Engineering—to help navigate architectural decisions, risk mitigation, performance guardrails, and adoption planning.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, data, and execution — whether you come from delivery management, DevOps, QA/testing, or engineering. It requires proven expertise in developing and influencing customer cloud strategies and enabling technical adoption of cloud features, including AI. You understand how data moves, systems integrate, and migrations succeed (or fail). You will identify potential challenges and implement effective solutions that guide toward positive outcomes and ultimately lead Atlassian’s most strategic customers to Cloud.

Responsibilities

• Migration Strategy: Lead end-to-end cloud transformation engagements by evaluating customer environments and aligning technical execution with business outcomes.
• Risk Management: Facilitate migration readiness assessments, interpret guardrail results, and recommend actionable remediations (i.e. SQL-based analysis, app remediations, automation deltas, workflow redesign).
• Technical Architecture: Understand and communicate the role of APIs, webhooks, and automation components in customer environments — explaining how they translate to Cloud and what requires refactor or replacement.
• Trusted Advisor: Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and other technical executives, guiding decision-making through data-backed insights.
• Delivery Excellence: Govern the migration lifecycle through disciplined execution, measurable outcomes, and coordination with support & engineering teams — from discovery to UAT completion and go-live.
• Drive Accountability: Drive team accountability through clearly defined milestones, transparent reporting, proactive risk management and optimal resourcing.
• Stakeholder Management: Lead all project communications, plan reviews, and steering committee to guide project direction. Maintain effective communication with stakeholders to advocate for the team and meet customer objectives.
• Escalation Management: Act as the escalation point for customers to drive urgency on critical blockers during migrations.
• Team Leadership: Mentor peers on technical literacy and lead internal enablement efforts, including training workshops and playbook development. Model a consultative, data-driven mindset expected of Atlassian’s delivery leaders.
