Overview

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.

The Event Technology Senior Program Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering technology solutions for enterprise-level events, including two high-visibility flagship programs, a roadshow program and a developer program.

This role will lead the day-to-day implementation and maintenance of event technology across our portfolio — from registration to mobile app, website, and beyond.

The ideal candidate is a proactive communicator, detail-driven project leader, and problem-solver with experience solving business challenges with event tech solutions, stakeholder management, and cross-functional coordination.

Responsibilities

What you’ll do

• Lead end-to-end execution of event technology solutions (registration systems, mobile apps, speaker and sponsor portals, attendee-facing tools), ensuring stability, quality, and flawless operation across assigned events.

• Provide input and hands-on execution for configuring and optimizing event technology tools, including branding, customer-facing flows, and integrations.

• Define and manage project scopes, timelines, and technical implementation plans for assigned events, partnering closely with Marcom, Creative, Marketing stakeholders, and partner agencies.

• Establish and run comprehensive QA and testing frameworks, managing ticket triage, bug resolution, and continuous improvement of the event tech stack.

• Drive experimentation and data-informed analysis of event technology performance using a “test and learn” approach, translating innovation goals into actionable execution plans.

• Develop and maintain best-practice documentation, process guidelines, and reusable templates for microsites, registration platforms, and digital experience environments.

• Lead setup and management of integrations with third-party partners, leveraging automation to improve processes, scalability, and productivity as needed.

• Stay current on industry trends and emerging experiential and event technology platforms, making recommendations to enhance the attendee experience and operational efficiency.

Expected results

• Flawless delivery of event technology across flagship and non-flagship events, demonstrated by minimal technical issues, on-time launches, and consistent positive stakeholder feedback.

• Efficient project execution and cross-functional coordination that reduces turnaround times, improves workflow clarity, and ensures all tech requirements are met within scope, budget, and timeline.

• Measurable improvement in event performance metrics, including enhanced attendee engagement, accurate data capture, and successful adoption of event technology
