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.

What You’ll Do

• GTM and Trust support: Provide expert privacy counsel to GTM and Trust teams throughout the customer lifecycle, including pre-sales content development, compliance with global privacy laws, customer migrations to Cloud and support for strategic and novel privacy negotiations.

• Customer support: Engage directly with customers to address specific privacy needs and expectations unique to the EMEA region, adapting guidance to reflect local business practices and cultural nuances.

• Regulatory compliance: Advise on the impact of emerging global privacy laws and regulations, and help prepare practical responses to new requirements.

• Cross-functional engagement: Collaborate with internal stakeholders, including other Legal pillars, Sales, Trust, Engineering, Product, Security, People, and IT, to ensure privacy considerations and customer needs are integrated into business initiatives and roadmaps.

On Your First Day We’ll Expect You To Have

• 10+ years of privacy (or related) experience, with expertise in all privacy areas including partnering directly with GTM and Trust functions.

• Qualified to practice law in your local jurisdiction.

• Deep understanding of privacy laws, regulations, and frameworks, such as GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, and ISO 27701.

• A smart approach to risk-taking and decision-making that aligns with Atlassian’s fast-paced, agile and innovative culture.

• Understanding of the diverse business cultures and regulatory environments across EMEA, and the ability to deliver privacy solutions that anticipate and address the unique privacy needs of customers.

• Simplifier communication skills that translate complex privacy and technical concepts into easily digestible content for customers and internal stakeholders.

• CIPP certifications (e.g., CIPP/E, CIPP/M, CIPP/US) are highly valued but not required.

• The ability to thrive in a fast-changing environment.

• A growth mindset, resilience, and a healthy sense of humor.
