Overview

The Atlassian Ventures is hiring an essential member of the team to expand portfolio management function. This role will have direct exposure to senior leaders at Atlassian and an opportunity to network and organize with the Atlassian Ventures portfolio and industry leaders. 

Reporting to the Head of Atlassian Ventures, this role will drive and maintain robust operations and community surrounding the Atlassian Ventures portfolio.

You will collaborate with Atlassian internal product, GTM, marketing/comms, channel and marketplace teams to ensure Atlassian Ventures’ portfolio companies can grow and expand within Atlassian’s ecosystem. This isn’t an investment role, but rather centered around post-investment support of the growing portfolio.

This individual should be a self-starter and comfortable jugging competing priorities.
