We’re looking for an experienced commercial counsel to join our Commercial Legal team! This is a great opportunity to join a growing Commercial Legal team and support Atlassian’s most critical enterprise transformations.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing Commercial Legal team and support key customer transactions for Atlassian.

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.

In this role, you’ll get to:

• Negotiate enterprise cloud agreements for Atlassian’s products and services. In doing so, you’ll partner with Sales and other Atlassians to drive customer deals to execution.

• Provide pragmatic, business-minded guidance on customer requests and contract-related issues. 

• Develop support materials and provide trainings to educate our Sales teams on contract terms and other legal issues.

• Lead special projects to scale the Legal and Sales functions, and bring a legal lens to other critical cross-functional projects across the quote-to-cash process.

• Drive complex, strategic customer deals to execution by partnering with Sales and other Atlassians (including in our Privacy, Trust, Finance and Product teams).

More about you:

• You take ownership, roll up your sleeves, and get things done, while managing risk.

• You work collaboratively and develop positive relationships with business stakeholders to strengthen the connection between our team and the business - with a sense of humor and resiliency, under tight deadlines, and while managing multiple priorities.

• You bring empathy and understanding to your conversations with customers, seeking to find a path forward that balances company risk and customer needs.

• You effectively navigate a decentralized and complex organization spread around the globe.

• You have a strong understanding of software, cloud services and generative AI, associated business models, and technology industry trends.

• You think creatively beyond the “legal” box to generate possible solutions and options for the business, clearly articulating risk-based recommendations.

• You effectively communicate with the business and customers to help them understand and follow the rules and parameters imposed by laws.

On your first day, we’ll expect you to have:

• Extensive experience negotiating SaaS contracts with enterprise customers is a must. 

• Ability to handle data protection, cybersecurity and revenue recognition issues in connection with commercial contracts.

• Passion for understanding our customers, products, culture, and business model.

• Excellent business judgment, strong communication skills, and the ability to work flexibly with a variety of teams.

• Strong presentation skills, especially with internal business leaders.

• Willingness to handle new areas of responsibility.

• Qualified to practice law in your local jurisdiction.
