The role involves overseeing headcount forecasting processes, collaborating with HR and finance teams, and analyzing financial data to drive insights for decision-making.
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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
You will own our global headcount forecasting process from end to end. You will work with multiple partners across the company including but not limited to: HR Partners, recruiting team, Total Rewards team, as well as peer functional FP&A Business Partner teams. You will be owning the headcount forecasting system, assuring company-wide headcount reporting process (consolidation and analysis) and supporting both business and finance peers as queries arise. You will report to our Head of FP&A Business Partners (Headcount & Benefits) while being fully remote role, with a PST timezone preference.
