Account Executive, Mid Market
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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Atlassian unleashes the potential of every team. Our agile & DevOps, IT service management and work management software help teams organize, discuss, and complete shared work. The majority of the Fortune 500 and over 300,000 companies of all sizes worldwide - including NASA, Audi, Kiva, Deutsche Bank, and Dropbox - rely on our solutions to help their teams work better together and deliver quality results on time. Our products include Jira Software, Confluence, and Jira Service Management.
Our Mid-Market sales team is responsible for managing a portfolio of mid-sized customers. This includes identifying cloud-first sales opportunities and cross-sell and user expansion opportunities, nurturing customer relationships, and achieving revenue targets. Simultaneously, we expect you to serve as a strong advocate for our customers by providing valuable feedback to our product and engineering teams, contributing to the enhancement of our customer experience. All of these responsibilities will be carried out in close collaboration with our Channel Partners, Product Specialists, Account Managers, and Solution Engineers. We share a commitment, as a TEAM, to guiding and aiding our customer’s deployment and utilization of Atlassian at scale. However, above all, we believe in the Atlassian values and use them as our compass as we continue to evolve our revolutionary sales model.
