Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity, assuming candidates have eligible working rights and a sufficient timezone overlap with their team. As our offices re-open, Atlassians can choose to work remotely or return to an office, unless it’s necessary for the role to be performed in the office. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

As we expand our Atlassian footprint in India in mid-2022, we are able to recruit eligible candidates for this role who are located in Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Delhi NCR and Maharashtra. If this sparks your interest, apply today and chat with our friendly Recruitment team.

We are looking for a Head of Design to join our Cloud Migrations team in India. In this role you will lead and manage an experience design team focused on building capabilities that help our customers shift their product usage from self-managed Server versions to Atlassian Cloud. This team is spread across Australia, India, Poland and the United States.

As a Head of Design you will manage Experience Design Managers, support them in developing their cross-craft teams and in delivering the right migrations experience for customers. You will also work closely with product management, engineering and other stakeholders to participate in setting the group’s strategic approach and ensuring teams are set up effectively to deliver on this.

Ideally, you are passionate about making people better; you provide support and guidance to your team in constructive ways that inspire, energise, and increase their quality of work. Experience managing content designers is also important, as this team has a particular focus on content-driven journeys. If you have the drive and passion to steer experience design direction and grow design at Atlassian, then this role could be for you.

You'll also have the opportunity to:

  • Foster an inclusive, psychologically safe environment within the team
  • Coach and develop the Experience Design Managers you manage
  • Guide cross-craft teams to prioritise experience quality and develop meaningful feedback loops
  • Help your team make design decisions that deliver strategic value

To be successful here, we encourage you to:

  • Bring previous experience of having managed a UX design team, including experience managing design managers and content designers / writers
  • Have examples of a positive, inclusive culture you’ve built in past teams
  • Show how you’ve recognised content to be an essential part of a user’s end-to-end journey and taken steps to improve that content experience
  • Demonstrate great facilitation skills and a track record of collaborating with other functions, like engineering and product
  • Communicate clearly and have a high degree of influence with all kinds of internal partners including senior leadership
  • Show how you have set and then delivered design vision through a team
  • Be a self-starter with an eye for simple solutions and the ability to step into the customer's shoes

We’d love for you to:

  • Have experience managing a geographically diverse team
  • Be able to show examples of having lead a cross-craft project that delivered measurable improvement to users
