Director of Talent Enablement and Effectiveness

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.

Our Talent Team is on a mission to attract, develop, and retain the talent Atlassian needs to thrive. We're looking for a Head of Talent Enablement to help us make our mission a reality. Your job is to unleash the potential of the Talent Team. You'll ensure the team is operating effectively, delivering measurable impact, and helping the business achieve its objectives.
