Atlassian is hiring a Senior Design Manager to lead design for Strategy Collection, its AI-native Strategic Portfolio Management suite. The role defines the product’s design vision, raises design quality, scales a design team, and partners with Product and Engineering to deliver clear, trusted experiences for enterprise leaders.

Responsibilities:

• Manage, coach, and scale a high-performing team of 5–10 designers
• Partner as an equal with Product and Engineering leadership on roadmap, prioritization, and strategic bets
• Champion AI-native design workflows—rapid prototyping, data-driven validation, and compressed discovery-to-delivery cycles
• Advocate for C-suite, transformation, and portfolio-manager users, ensuring the product earns their trust and delivers actionable clarity

Requirements:

• Experience managing and scaling teams of senior ICs and/or design managers
• A portfolio demonstrating consumer-grade craft and the ability to simplify complex systems into intuitive workflows
• Proven success operating in nascent, high-ambiguity 0-to-1 environments
• Hands-on experience applying modern AI tools to prototyping, exploration, or product features
• Fluency in B2B/enterprise domains such as strategic planning, portfolio governance, analytics, workforce capacity, or financial tracking
• Prior experience at AI-first or AI-forward product teams
• Familiarity with SPM, OKRs, enterprise analytics, workforce planning, or financial governance platforms
