Head of Technical Program Management

Overview

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.

Responsibilities

As the Head of Technical Program Management, you will provide executive leadership to drive strategy, execution, and transformation across complex technical domains. You will lead and develop a high-performing organization, partnering closely with engineering, product, and business leaders to deliver business-critical programs and solutions at scale. This is a highly cross-functional role with broad influence, responsible for breaking down technical barriers, strengthening systems, and ensuring the success of major initiatives across the company.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Leadership: Define and drive the long-term vision, strategy, and roadmap across multiple domains or business units.

• Program Delivery: Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of complex, cross-functional technical programs, including initiation, planning, execution, forecasting, budgeting, and delivery.

• Stakeholder Management: Partner with senior engineering, product, and business leaders to align technical programs with business objectives and priorities.

• Team Development: Build, mentor, and inspire a diverse team of TPMs and TPM managers, fostering a culture of high performance, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• Systematic Problem Solving: Take a systematic approach to solving highly technical engineering problems, including prioritization, scoping, and progress tracking.

• Technical Influence: Leverage deep technical understanding to influence architectural decisions and drive progress on critical engineering challenges.

Minimum Qualifications

• Extensive experience (typically 12+ years) in product management, technical program management, engineering, or related leadership roles within leading technology companies.

• Proven track record of leading high-performing teams and delivering large-scale, complex technical programs.

• Strong strategic thinking and ability to translate business objectives into actionable technical programs.

• Deep technical understanding of modern systems, architectures, and platforms (coding not required, but must understand system flows, APIs, etc.).

• Exceptional leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
