Why This Role Exists

Atlassian is on a path from one-third to two-thirds enterprise revenue. That doesn't happen without a world-class Solutions Engineering team that can walk into the biggest, most complex deals on the continent and change the way organizations work — forever.

We're looking for a Solutions Engineering Manager who wakes up energized by two things: growing exceptional people and winning deals that matter. You'll lead a team of SEs who don't just demo software — they architect outcomes, challenge assumptions, and help Fortune-class companies reimagine how work gets done with Atlassian's System of Work.

If you love the intersection of technology, storytelling, strategy, and people leadership — keep reading. This one's for you.

In this role, you will:

Build & Lead a Team That Punches Above Its Weight

• Hire, coach, and develop a diverse team of high-performing Solutions Engineers supporting Enterprise accounts across the Americas

• Operate as a true player–coach — you're close enough to deals to add value, but focused enough on your people to multiply their impact

• Set the bar on both attainment (revenue influence) and craft (how we show up)

• Create real growth paths — whether that's toward Principal SE, management, or something we haven't invented yet

Win Complex Deals — Together

• Partner with sales leadership on account strategy so your SEs land in the right deals at the right moments

• Ensure your team delivers killer technical discovery, solution design, demos, POVs, and executive presentations that make customers say "finally, someone who gets it"

• Drive value-based selling — business cases, ROI narratives, roadmap sessions — not feature tours

• Step into "tip-of-the-spear" cycles personally when the moment calls for it

Run a Tight Ship

• Own the team operating rhythm: forecasting, deal reviews, coverage models, and SE impact metrics

• Use data to optimize where your team spends time — pipeline influence, win rates, product mix, cycle time

• Continuously improve core SE motions: discovery frameworks, demo patterns, POV templates, security plays, RFP responses

• Partner with peer SE leaders globally to keep execution consistent while honoring what makes the Americas market unique

Collaborate Like It's a Superpower

• Lock arms with Sales leadership, Value Management, Product, Marketing, and Advisory teams

• Feed customer insights back to Product — you're the voice of the field

• Represent the SE perspective in GTM planning, QBRs, and strategic bets (AI/Rovo, Guard, cloud migration, platform plays)

Leave the Org Better Than You Found It

• Lead programs that scale beyond your team — playbooks, reusable assets, repeatable "plays," process improvements

• Share best practices and raise the bar for SE craft across the global org

• Build something others want to copy

Your Background:

Experience

• Significant experience in presales/solutions engineering or a closely related technical, customer-facing role

• Proven people-management track record leading SE or technical consulting teams

• Experience navigating complex, multi-stakeholder Enterprise deals — you know the buying dynamics, the procurement gauntlets, and how to build trust across cultures and time zones

Skills That Set You Apart

• People Leadership — You build teams people want to be on. Clear feedback, high expectations, genuine care.

• Technical & Solution Depth — Strong grasp of SaaS, cloud architectures, integrations, and security/compliance. You can challenge your SEs on solution design, not just deal mechanics.

• Commercial & Strategic Acumen — Comfortable in forecast and pipeline conversations. You think in systems: customer outcomes 12; System of Work 12; platform strategy 12; product roadmap.

• Execution & Operations — You've introduced at least one team-level improvement that materially changed productivity or quality. Data-driven, CRM-disciplined, allergic to chaos.

• Communication & Executive Presence — C-level ready. You translate fluently between business, technical, and value narratives. Clear writer. Confident facilitator.
