Senior Partner Services Lead

Responsibilities About the role

Our customers get the best outcomes when Atlassian Professional Services and our partners deliver together. As a Senior Partner Services Lead, you'll help make that happen at scale: creating new ways for us to deliver alongside partners, expanding what we can take on together, and removing the friction that gets in the way. You'll run the programs behind it: subcontracting, joint solutions, partner services certification, partner assurance services and rules of engagement. You'll bring structure, cadence and follow-through so partners and Atlassian Professional Services teams can deliver as one team.

• Run partner assurance services. Help build and operate advisory services that partners can buy from Atlassian Professional Services, including offering design, pricing inputs, operating mechanics and enablement for Partner Managers and partners.

• Drive joint solution pilots. Coordinate day-to-day execution of joint offerings with partners, including AI-enabled delivery approaches. Track outcomes, capture lessons and help package each offering for scale.

• Operationalize the rules of engagement. Run the operating rhythm that keeps Atlassian and partners aligned: partner-level business reviews, partner presence mapping across our portfolio, co-delivery templates, playbooks and quick reference guides. Act as the connective tissue between Partner Managers, Partner Sales Managers, Sales and delivery teams, and help triage rules of engagement escalations.

• Support governed subcontracting. Help onboard and manage partners delivering on Atlassian-contracted engagements, working with Partner & Alliances, Procurement and delivery teams on setup, scope and quality controls, and partner performance.

• Facilitate partner services certification. Coordinate partner candidates, learning and assessments, and pair partners with Professional Services teams for co-delivery. Gather architect feedback and help run final certification reviews.

• Support co-delivery quality. Partner with Engagement Managers and Implementation Project Managers, who lead day-to-day delivery, to monitor quality, partner health and escalations.

• Feed the loop. Turn what works into reusable assets, standards and enablement for internal teams and partners.

• Travel to build partnerships. Spend up to 30% of your time traveling within your region, and in some cases beyond it, for partner meetings, certification and enablement sessions, and internal events.

• Hands-on experience working with delivery partners, resellers or systems integrators.

• Experience delivering complex customer engagements and coordinating across customer, partner and internal teams.

• A working grasp of services commercial mechanics: statements of work, scope and change control, and how partner and vendor contracts differ.

• Strong operational discipline: program tracking, operating rhythms, escalation management and clear communication.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building repeatable structure where none exists.

• A cross-functional collaborator across Sales, Partner & Alliances and delivery teams.

• Deep hands-on experience with Atlassian products or a background as an Atlassian consultant or architect.
