Full Job Description
Overview

You’ll lead design for Strategy Collection, Atlassian’s AI-native Strategic Portfolio Management suite—Focus, Talent, and Align, powered by Rovo—that connects strategic bets, workforce capacity, delivery work, and financials into a single living operating model. This is a 0-to-1, executive-sponsored space where you’ll define how leaders at the world’s largest enterprises see, sense, and steer their businesses. You’ll manage a team of 5–10 designers today, with the opportunity to scale toward 10–15 over the next 12–18 months.

Responsibilities
  • Define and drive the 0-to-1 design vision for Strategy Collection, establishing new interaction paradigms in a high-ambiguity space.

  • Set and enforce a high bar for craft, fit and finish, visual polish, information hierarchy, and motion across Focus, Talent, Align, and Goals.

  • Manage, coach, and scale a high-performing team of 5–10 designers toward 10–15 as adoption grows.

  • Partner as an equal with Product and Engineering leadership on roadmap, prioritization, and strategic bets.

  • Champion AI-native design workflows—rapid prototyping, data-driven validation, and compressed discovery-to-delivery cycles.

  • Advocate for C-suite, transformation, and portfolio-manager users, ensuring the product earns their trust and delivers actionable clarity.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Experience managing and scaling teams of senior ICs and/or design managers.

  • A portfolio demonstrating high attention to craft and detail and the ability to simplify complex systems into intuitive workflows.

  • Proven success operating in nascent, high-ambiguity 0-to-1 environments.

  • Hands-on experience applying modern AI tools to prototyping, exploration, or product features.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior experience at AI-first or AI-forward product teams.

  • Familiarity with SPM, OKRs, enterprise analytics, workforce planning, or financial governance platforms.

  • Track record of growing design teams from single digits to mid-teens through product-market-fit inflection points.
