Your Future Team

Atlassian is hiring for our Corporate Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team. You will be part of a team that acts as the “glue” across Finance to drive Atlassian’s continued success, and who are responsible for strategic, annual, and quarterly operating planning for the entire company. You will lead strong business partnerships across FP&A, Accounting, and Treasury, working closely with senior leadership to drive business growth, steward company level guidance, and navigate global market dynamics. You will provide insightful recommendations to senior leadership in support of our most strategic decisions and resource allocations.

This is a highly visible role in the organization with close partnership with senior finance leaders. The role is ideally suited if you are a passionate finance professional interested in developing a strong understanding of Atlassian’s business model and modernizing how finance operates at scale.

You are a natural leader with a “get it done” attitude. You draw people to you with your energy, analytical rigor, and intellectual curiosity. You build deep trust and collaborative alignment across FP&A, Accounting, Treasury, and senior leadership, with the ability to turn complex financial insights into decisive business action.
