Role Description

The Principal Enterprise Delivery Manager is responsible for ushering Atlassian’s largest, most complex customers through their transition into the cloud. As the primary stakeholder, you will act as a reliable strategic advisor and technical consultant to senior customer decision-makers, while also leading the delivery and governance of large-scale Cloud migrations. You bring both business acumen and technical fluency.

• Work closely with customer stakeholders and cross-functional teams—including Sales, Solutions, Support, Product Management, Channel Partners, and Engineering.
• Help navigate architectural decisions, risk mitigation, performance guardrails, and adoption planning.
• Thrive at the intersection of strategy, data, and execution.
• Proven expertise in developing and influencing customer cloud strategies and enabling technical adoption of cloud features, including AI.
• Understand how data moves, systems integrate, and migrations succeed (or fail).
• Identify potential challenges and implement effective solutions that guide toward positive outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Migration Strategy: Lead end-to-end cloud transformation engagements by evaluating customer environments and aligning technical execution with business outcomes.
• Risk Management: Facilitate migration readiness assessments, interpret guardrail results, and recommend actionable remediations (i.e. SQL-based analysis, app remediations, automation deltas, workflow redesign).
• Technical Architecture: Understand and communicate the role of APIs, webhooks, and automation components in customer environments.
• Trusted Advisor: Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and other technical executives, guiding decision-making through data-backed insights.
• Delivery Excellence: Govern the migration lifecycle through disciplined execution, measurable outcomes, and coordination with support & engineering teams.
• Drive Accountability: Drive team accountability through clearly defined milestones, transparent reporting, proactive risk management and optimal resourcing.
• Stakeholder Management: Lead all project communications, plan reviews, and steering committee to guide project direction.
• Escalation Management: Act as the escalation point for customers to drive urgency on critical blockers during migrations.
• Team Leadership: Mentor peers on technical literacy and lead internal enablement efforts, including training workshops and playbook development.
• Industry Insight: Stay ahead of industry trends and integrate insights into customer interactions.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience working in or around software delivery — roles such as Delivery Manager, DevOps Engineer, QA/Test Lead, Systems Engineer, or Support Lead are a plus.
• Proven track record leading data migration, systems integrations, or platform transformations.
• Knowledge of APIs, automations, and integration patterns, including how they translate between on-prem and cloud.
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Strong ability to influence customer decision-making through expertise in delivery knowledge and value discussions.
• Skilled in negotiating effectively with senior-level decision-makers and c-suite executives.
• Demonstrated leadership, teamwork, and mentorship skills that enhance team learning and engagement.
