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.
This is a remote-enabled position. To help our teams work together effectively, this role requires you to be located in PST, CST or EST timezones
Your future team
The Renewals team is comprised of curious, proactive, fun-loving Account Associates who are responsible for renewing Mid-Market and SMB subscriptions that include Atlassian's full suite of products and services.
We look for opportunities to expand our customers' footprint at time of renewal, are experts in mitigating customer friction and overcoming objections, and have an eye for discovering new opportunities for the broader Account team. Our team drives renewal strategies that engage clients and keep the churn rates low. We uncover expansion opportunities by probing for opportunity, using data and partnering with our Customer Success Management team to understand customer’s goals.
What you'll do
Atlassian is looking for a new executive to join our leadership team as Head of Renewals. Reporting directly to the Global Head of Customer Success Management & Renewals, you will help transform the Renewals function to align with our refreshed go-to-market strategy and build a customer transaction journey that delivers value to every Atlassian customer. With a retention target of $800M and a team of 70 reps, you and your team of segment leaders will deliver on aggressive retention and expansion targets.
Atlassian is continuing to evolve our go-to-market approach to scale across our growing customer segments. To support that evolution, we are looking for an experienced Head of Renewals to lead a global team of experienced Renewal Specialists. As a third-line leader your teams are based across the globe, from Americas to Europe to the Philippines. You will report to the Global Head of Customer Success Management & Renewals.
This is a high-visibility, high-accountability role that is central to Atlassian’s transition from a product-led-growth company to a company led by a world class go-to-market capability.

You will be an important member of the CSM & Renewals leadership team, working collaboratively to define, articulate, and execute the global strategy for a redefined Customer Success vision across all post-sales functions.
The Head of Renewals will be responsible for retaining some of Atlassian’s largest customers. You will help build and evolve our GTM motion, and work with many of our cross-functional teams, such as sales, account management, channel, and customer success to evolve Atlassian’s go-to-market approach. You will work together with our Sales teams to build a cohesive partnership that removes blockers, drives improved customer engagement, and accelerates growth. If you are excited by building strategy, pipeline management, forecasting accuracy, and team development, then you are a terrific fit for this role.

Compensation
