Overview

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.

As the Regional Workplace Events Lead, you’ll be responsible for planning and executing employee events for Atlassians across America while also supporting global event programs. This role partners closely with Workplace leaders, regional stakeholders, and external vendors to deliver high-impact experiences that foster connection, engagement, and belonging to Atlassian.

This position is office-based in Bellevue, Washington, or San Francisco, California. You will report to the Head of Workplace Programs, and your craft lead will be the Head of Workplace Events, both located in Sydney.
