Design Manager, Confluence Core Experiences

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.
Your future team
Atlassian's second flagship product, Confluence, is evolving into a connected knowledge workspace for all teams. As part of this evolution, we're looking for a design leader who can look beyond the Confluence page in order to enable new kinds of collaborative work. This leader will bring a new look to our end to end experience across Confluence, unlocking a seamless experience for our customers. As a Design Manager, you will lead a team of product and content designers, while partnering with cross-functional leaders to deliver in a fast-paced environment. You'll be responsible for the Content Lifecycle team's experience strategy and vision, as well as the delivery of high-quality design work that delivers on business outcomes.
If you want to help define the future of Confluence, this is the team for you.
As a Design Manager, you'll:

• Manage a team of product and content designers, helping them to do the best work of their lives
• Lead complex, high-impact initiatives that raise the quality bar for new and existing customers
• Partner with a range of cross-functional teams (including Engineering, Product Management, Research, Marketing, and Data Science) across our Atlassian product portfolio
• Collaborate closely with our platform teams to deliver innovative, cohesive end-to-end experiences
• Champion the design craft and help shape our processes, practices, and culture
• Be a part of the growing and thriving Atlassian Design team

The ideal candidate will bring:

• 8+ years of product design-related experience, ideally including 2+ years of management experience
• A demonstrated passion for high-quality design and customer experiences
• Craft expertise in interaction design, prototyping, content design, or visual design
• Hands-on experience improving the work of those around you, as either a manager or design mentor
• The ability to drive a user-centered design process that consistently leads to quality outcomes
• Confidence in presenting work and getting others on board with a chosen design direction
• A proven track record of effective collaboration with Product Management, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams
• Strong communication, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration skills that you demonstrate in the way you work across multiple teams, solicit and synthesize feedback, and facilitate design discussions

For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:
Zone A: $188,700 - $251,600
Zone B: $169,900 - $226,500
Zone C: $156,600 - $208,900
