About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Solutions Engineering Manager to lead a high‑performing team of Solutions Engineers who help our largest customers realize measurable business value from Atlassian’s System of Work.
Responsibilities
- Directly manage and grow a team of SEs supporting Mid‑Market accounts
- Operate as a player–coach: staying close to deals and programs while building a scalable, outcome‑driven SE practice
- Partner with Sales, Value Management, Product, and Advisory teams to win complex, multi‑product deals and drive long‑term customer outcomes
- Shape how we engage customers in your segment/geo, and contribute to global SE strategy and best practices
- Own multiple workstreams, drive medium‑to‑long‑term strategy for your team, and be measured on team impact, people leadership, collaboration, and org‑level impact
- Hire, onboard, and develop a diverse team of high‑performing Solutions Engineers
- Set clear expectations and coach SEs on both attainment (quota / influenced revenue) and performance (quality of execution, behaviors)
- Build succession and growth plans; help SEs progress toward Principal SE or management tracks
- Foster a healthy, inclusive team culture aligned to Atlassian values; monitor and improve team health and engagement
- Align SE coverage and capacity to regional/segment revenue goals and territory plans
- Partner with AEs on account and opportunity strategy, ensuring SEs are engaged in the right deals at the right moments
- Ensure your team leads high‑quality technical discovery, solution design, demos, POV/POVs, and executive presentations
- Drive consistent use of value‑based selling and outcome‑oriented narratives (business cases, ROI, past value delivered, roadmap sessions)
- Act as an executive‑ready technical leader in key “tip‑of‑the‑spear” cycles when needed
- Own team operating rhythm: forecasting, deal reviews, account planning, coverage models, and inspection of SE impact metrics
- Use data (pipeline influence, win rates, expansion, product mix, cycle time, activity signals) to optimize how the team spends time
- Standardize and continuously improve core SE motions: discovery frameworks, demo patterns, POV templates, security plays, RFP/RFI responses, etc.
- Partner with peer SE leaders to drive consistent execution globally while adapting to local market needs
- Partner tightly with Sales leadership on segment strategy, territory design, and forecast health
- Partner tightly with Value Management / VMO on business value assessments and exec‑level ROI stories
- Partner tightly with Product, Marketing, and Advisory / Services on feedback loops, field readiness, and solution commercialization
- Represent the SE point of view in regional GTM planning, QBRs, and strategic initiatives (e.g., AI / Rovo plays, Guard / security motions, cloud migration)
- Lead or contribute to programs that scale beyond your own team, such as Playbooks for your segment
- Lead or contribute to programs that scale beyond your own team, such as Reusable demos and POV assets, or repeatable “plays” (health checks, strategy workshops, adoption programs)
- Lead or contribute to programs that scale beyond your own team, such as Process or tooling changes that improve SE productivity across the region or globally
- Actively share best practices, mentor other managers, and raise the bar for SE craft and management across the org
Requirements
- Significant experience in presales / solutions engineering or a closely related technical customer‑facing role
- Proven track record as a people manager leading SE or technical consulting teams (typically 6–12+ ICs)
- Deep background in at least one of: Agile / DevOps, ITSM/ESM, enterprise work management, or adjacent solution domains
- Experience driving complex, multi‑stakeholder deals with Enterprise or Strategic customers
Skills
- People Leadership
- Builds high‑performing, diverse teams; gives clear, actionable feedback
- Can articulate different development needs for early‑career vs senior/principal SEs
- Technical & Solution Depth
- Strong grasp of SaaS, cloud architectures, integrations, and security / compliance basics
- Able to challenge and support SEs on solution design, not just deal mechanics
- Commercial & Strategic Acumen
- Comfortable in forecast, pipeline, and coverage discussions; understands how SE motions impact revenue and margin
- Thinks in systems: connects customer outcomes to Atlassian’s System of Work, platform strategy, and product roadmap
- Execution & Operations

- Strong command of CRM/process hygiene and data‑driven decision‑making
