Senior Communications Manager

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.
Atlassian is looking for a Senior Communications Manager with exceptional writing skills to join our US team. In this role, you will be responsible for generating a calendar of ideas and content to support our marketing and communications initiatives. You'll have experience working across writing styles and content types, and be as comfortable spinning up a social post as you are developing an exec keynote or long form report. A background working to deadlines in a fast-paced communications team is a must, as is a proven track record supporting and writing for executives.
If you love writing, hate jargon, and want to work alongside a great team, we'd love to hear from you. This is an individual contributor position, reporting to the Head of Corporate Communications. This role can be remote from anywhere in the US.
Responsibilities

• Work across communications and marketing teams to understand priorities and generate compelling angles for storytelling and thought leadership
• Write thought-provoking, engaging material that our audiences want to read, watch, listen to and engage with
• Build and manage social media strategy for executives, maintaining a calendar of social posts
• Support leaders with content for external appearances, including fireside chats & keynotes
• Pitch in with writing and content needs across the communications team, whether a quick-turn blog post or talking points for an interview
• Build relationships with teams across the company to source ideas
• Measure results and adjust approaches accordingly

Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in communications and/or journalism
• A background in technology, including experience working with executives
• A proven track record generating ideas and material that resonates with audiences
• Exemplary written and presentation skills, including the ability to quickly translate complex, technical detail into succinct, easy-to-digest communications
• Experience working collaboratively and partnering across a highly distributed organization
• A how-can-I-help, get-it-done demeanor

Compensation
At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience. In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:
Zone A: $175,500 - $234,000
Zone B: $158,000 - $210,600
Zone C: $145,700 - $194,200
This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.
