Atlassian is continuing to hire with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. All new and existing Atlassians will continue to work from home until it’s safe to return to our offices. When our offices re-open, we will provide the choice to work from home or return to work in an office unless a job requirement makes it necessary for a particular role to be performed at an Atlassian office.

Do you want to be part of an incredible growth company - a chance to be a strategist and also do hands-on work that makes an impact on our culture and employees? Atlassian is looking for a communications leader to craft and cultivate the stories we share with our employees. You’ll be an essential communications partner to our People Team, helping them clearly articulate our employee value proposition and share details about the programs that matter to employees. You will be on the global communications team and will report to the Head of Internal Communications. 

You’re looking for a challenge -- the opportunity to nurture the employee community at one of the leading tech brands in the world. You have a knack for developing comprehensive narratives that will help us attract, retain and grow the Atlassian TEAM. You'll always find ways to improve communications and are comfortable proposing new ideas. In addition, you'll use our many communication channels to ensure you can reach the largest number of Atlassians possible. You're excited to measure the impact of your programs so that we are always on a path of continuous improvement.

In this role, you'll get to

• Build an HR communications strategy to influence, educate, and inform employees across all geos.
• Be a strategic and tactical partner, especially for complicated and sensitive communications affecting the whole company.
• Play a key role in internal content creation and help amplify communications from the HR organization, including total rewards, performance management and talent acquisition.
• Establish operating rhythm with HR functions to ensure projects and priorities are effectively communicated and measured.
• Guide storytelling efforts for People Team projects, developing compelling campaigns and content to support global initiatives.
• Craft, ghostwrite and edit blog posts, presentations, narratives, speaking points, and playbooks.
• Manage community feedback and address online comments or questions.
• Lead global launches, events and other internal activities, with a keen understanding of cultural nuances.

On the first day, we'll expect you to have

• Have 10+ years of experience in internal communications or employee communications.
• Strong experience working in or closely with a human resources leadership team and organization.
• Build and run global communications programs; a self-starter who can operate independently.
• Experience handling communications for diversity, equity & inclusion initiatives and galvanizing teams around these programs.
• Be a natural writer, able to personally pen blogs, executive speaking points and content for HR initiatives.
• Collaborate with our Creative team to develop visually appealing content that tells a story.
• Have a high-energy approach and high emotional intelligence, matched with the ability to get stuff done in innovative ways.

It's great, but not required, if you have

• A history in the software industry, with insight into tech history, culture, and tech nomenclature.
• B2C and B2B experience, or at least an informed point-of-view on what makes brands stand out to attract, hire and retain employees.

More about our team

We are motivated by business impact, and every project has one owner who is empowered as the key decision-maker. We define success metrics upfront and restlessly drive towards them. We dig into the details but are at home in ambiguous situations. We embrace our “open company, no bull$#*t” value and have the grit to say it like it is. We're good listeners, especially the voice of our customer. We move really fast. We take risks and fail (which is OK!). We take away key lessons to ensure we don't repeat the same mistakes again. We play as a team.

To support you at work (and play) we offer some fantastic perks: ample time off to relax and recharge, flexible working options, five paid volunteer days a year for your favourite cause, an annual allowance to support your learning & growth, unique ShipIt days, a company paid trip after five years and lots more.
