The Sr. Manager - Sales Systems & Operations will work with different key stakeholders in Sales and across other functional organizations within Atlassian to prioritize the implementation of projects/programs based on business impact and required investment. This role will also be accountable for end-to-end program launch, from ensuring requirements are well understood, to solution design in collaboration with IT, shared services and other internal functions within Atlassian, to ensuring stakeholders are involved and engaged through launch.

What we want to get done:

Work with key stakeholders and management in Sales, Sales Strategy, the Channel Sales organization, Customer Advocacy and other cross-functional teams at Atlassian to review their key priorities, assess business impact of their projects and required investment, and prioritize implementation across programs/projects. Your goal is to have all these actors agree to a prioritization for all program/project launches on an ongoing basis.
Support end-to-end project/program management for CRM and related sales-systems initiatives. As a hands-on manager (i.e. you will own your own projects), you will manage a team of business analysts who will support or execute every prioritized project. You will ensure the business value of every project is quantified and that measurable success metrics have been defined. You will drive clarity of requirements and will ask lots of “why” questions to validate business impact of what gets implemented and to ensure that the solution will stand the test of time. You will define a solution composed of business processes, systems infrastructure, policies and governance.
You will partner with IT and other stakeholders throughout the implementation. You will be accountable for delivering all projects on time and ensure key stakeholders and program owners are involved/accountable for launch through go-live.
You will conduct experiments based on suggestions from the Sales Strategy team. Rapidly deployed tests that will allow us to validate whether new types of “touch” will enhance conversion and drive incremental bookings.
You will support the integration of the operational infrastructure of acquired companies across lead-to-cash and Customer Service processes (and we are a prolific acquirer).
In addition to project support, you will also be responsible for the general “care and feeding” and “keep the lights on” support of sales systems, including basic data governance, permissions/security administration, user administration and business user support.
You will be a trusted advisor to the business - helping guide our sales organization to best-in-class sales practices.
