About the role

  • Act as a knowledge leader in ITSM and ESM industry trends to inform sales strategies and the positioning of Jira Service Management within the broader Atlassian platform.
  • Lead the full sales cycle for JSM-focused opportunities in your territory—from prospecting and discovery through solution design, business case, negotiations, and close.

  • Engage with customers to deeply understand their business drivers, service management pain points, and transformation priorities.
  • Build compelling value hypotheses and ROI cases that connect JSM to measurable outcomes (e.g., MTTR, change failure rate, agent productivity, cost per ticket).

  • Build, manage, and accurately forecast a robust pipeline in your territory, applying MEDDPICC (or similar value‑based methodology) to drive deal progression and predictability.
  • Act as the voice of the customer to internal stakeholders, sharing insights on product gaps, competitive dynamics, and market trends to help shape Atlassian’s JSM roadmap and go‑to‑market strategy.
