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, every Atlassian will have the choice to work from an office or from home.

Atlassian is seeking a Director of Corporate Development who is passionate about driving inorganic growth in the enterprise SaaS space. In this role you will lead our corporate development focus on one of our largest businesses, and work hand in hand with product leaders and executives in identifying and evaluating important strategic opportunities. These opportunities include both M&A and strategic investments. You will develop the insights and analysis that our executive team needs to make informed decisions around our inorganic growth story moving forward. Not only will you frame out key areas of interest and help execute against that vision, you will also develop a long-term perspective of Atlassian, and have a viewpoint on how we can get there.

This is a phenomenal opportunity to join a small team at one of the most unique enterprise software companies in the market and have a big impact on its future!
