Job description

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.

At Atlassian, we are on a mission to help our customers compete and win in the modern, digital economy. We have built a multi-billion-dollar, fast-growing software business with over 300,000 paying customers, hundreds of sales and implementation partners, and millions of users around the globe. Our culture is open, welcoming, collaborative, and passionately focused on our customers' success.

This is a remote position reporting to the Manager of the Strategic Sales segment in Deal Desk AMER. You will support the “high value” enterprise deal lifecycle for our most strategic accounts and complex transactions.

Your Background

At least five years of experience at a B2B SaaS company in Deal Desk, Deal Strategy, Enterprise Deal Management, or Revenue Operations, with a focus on complex, non‑standard / strategic deals.

Demonstrated experience directly supporting sales on deal shaping/structuring, terms negotiations, financial modelling and risk optimization on large, complex contracts.

Proven track record of working with senior sales, finance, and legal stakeholders to drive alignment on deal strategy, trade‑offs and approval paths.

Experience developing and scaling playbooks (contractual conditions, financial concessions, commercial guardrails, and operational considerations) for strategic or high‑value customer motions.
