Head of Talent Enablement

Overview

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.

Our Talent Team is on a mission to attract, develop, and retain the talent Atlassian needs to thrive. We’re looking for a Head of Talent Enablement to help us make our mission a reality. Your job is to unleash the potential of the Talent Team. You'll ensure the team is operating effectively, delivering measurable impact, and helping the business achieve its objectives.

This role will sit on the Talent Team and report to the Head of Talent. This is an individual contributor role, but you’ll have a large remit and indirect leadership of highly impactful programs. This role could evolve into a people manager as the team and business grows. There is endless opportunity to have an impact at Atlassian and we’re looking for a strategic builder to help us achieve as much as we can in the years ahead. 

You’ll “Play as a Team” and collaborate effectively with the Talent Team, partner teams (e.g., HRBP, DEI, Comp, Talent Acquisition), support teams (e.g., People Operations, People Insights, People Technology), and stakeholders to build a thriving talent ecosystem that meets the evolving needs of the business. 

For this remote position, we’re looking for someone based in the Pacific Standard Time Zone (PST) to ensure effective collaboration with team members and partners in the United States, Australia, and India.
