Corporate Finance Planning Lead

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.
This is a remote position. To help our teams work together, this role requires you to be located in the US Pacific timezone.
Your future teamOur Corporate Financial Planning team is a small but mighty team split between the United State and Australia. You will be part of a team that acts as the “glue” across Finance to guide Atlassian’s continued success, and who are responsible for strategic, annual and quarterly operating planning for the entire company. We're hiring a Corporate Finance Planning Lead, reporting to the Senior Manager of Corporate FP&A. In this individual contributor role, you will provide insightful recommendations to the Executive Team to support strategic investment decisions and resource allocations.

• You will coordinate with broader FP&A team through our short-term "Rolling 4" planning process to ensure company achievement in key financial performance metrics (including revenue, operating expenses, and operating margin targets).
• You will produce high-quality, written materials for finance leadership and senior management which enable complex, company-level decisions.
• You will use your prior financial modeling and technical skillset to produce ad hoc scenario analysis.

Your background

• 7-10 years of experience in a financial/analytical role in tech, consulting, or investment banking.
• Experience in a Corporate function of an FP&A team and/or managing company-wide business metrics. Experience at a SaaS tech company is a plus.

• Prior financial and scenario modeling skills using Excel / Google Sheets (can perform complex functions).
• Experience working with, engaging with, and presenting to senior leadership through written and oral communication.
• Comfortable operating "in the gray" and working with ambiguous information to determine a path forward.

• Ability to draw upon insights and tell a compelling story involving business metrics to help influence key decisions.
• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Finance, Accounting, Economics).
