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 effectively, this role requires you to be located in the United States (PST timezone preferred).
Your future team
Our Executive Compensation & Strategy team is comprised of people with backgrounds in executive compensation, M&A, and compensation strategy for both executives and broad-based employees. You will manage and work with a team of compensation professionals tasked with bringing strategic, innovative thinking to solving some of the most nebulous problems we face in the compensation space today. You will build the next generation of compensation strategy and partner with others on new plan designs.
We're hiring a Director, Executive Compensation & Strategy to lead this team and you will report to the Head of Compensation. You are an experienced compensation expert who has a deep foundational understanding of how compensation is traditionally executed, but is interested in creatively applying that knowledge to solve for Atlassian-specific problems.
What you'll do

• Shape and execute on a compensation strategy that enables Atlassian to attract and retain world-class talent, incentivizes behaviors that drive outsized impact and enduring growth, and doubles down on pay equity and fairness.
• Leverage your analytical, consultative, and communication skills to inform and influence the Founders, C-suite, and Compensation Committee on global, business-impacting compensation design and strategy.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders across the compensation team and the business to identify opportunities for evolution and investment, define solutions to complex and high-impact problems, and ensure alignment between our compensation and business strategies.
• Build and lead a growing, distributed team of innovative compensation professionals focused on solving complex problems and defining next generation compensation practices.
• Partner cross-functionally to ensure competitiveness, equitability, and philosophical alignment as we obtain talent through M&A.

Your background

• 10+ years of experience designing innovative compensation offerings within a fast-paced, high-growth global company.
• Expertise in compensation plan design, including short- and long-term incentive plan design, retention programs, and equitable offer strategies.
• Experience in change management and influencing across complex topics like pay transparency, new-hire offer strategy, and talent retention.
• Passion for approaching complex problems with a balance of data and insights, first principles thinking, and an eye for innovation.
• Track record of successful senior stakeholder engagement and partnership, including exceptional consulting, communication, and presentation skills.
• A passion for people leadership, and a strong appetite for building, supporting, and developing a diverse and distributed team.

Zone A: $208,600 - $278,100
Zone B: $187,800 - $250,300
