About the Team

At Atlassian, the Teamwork Lab is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of modern teamwork. We lead industry-defining research on the future of work, AI, distributed collaboration, and the technologies shaping tomorrow’s teams. Our insights inform Atlassian’s flagship reports, executive narratives, and global thought leadership.

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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

About You

  • Experience: 7+ years in research, insights roles, with a strong track record of leading industry-facing research for marketing or communications.

  • Expertise: Deep knowledge of future of work, AI in the workplace, distributed work, and collaboration technologies.

  • Survey & Research Design: Advanced skills in survey design, research methodology, and translating complex findings into clear, actionable insights.

  • Strategic & Creative: Proven ability to think strategically and creatively—connecting data to big-picture narratives and business impact.

  • Storytelling: Exceptional communicator, able to craft compelling stories from data for executive, customer, and public audiences.

  • Collaboration: Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, comms, sales enablement, and creative teams.

  • Quantitative Acumen: Strong understanding of quantitative methods, but focused on research design and narrative alignment rather than hands-on data analysis.

  • AI Fluency: Demonstrated knowledge of AI trends and their impact on work and collaboration.

  • Autonomy: Comfortable operating independently and driving projects from concept to delivery in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Compensation

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience. In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:

Zone A: $218,700 - $285,525

Zone B: $197,100 - $257,325

Zone C: $181,800 - $237,350

This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.

Please visit go.atlassian.com/payzones for more information on which locations are included in each of our geographic pay zones. However, please confirm the zone for your specific location with your recruiter.
