Head of Crisis Response, Marketing and Communications Atlassian is looking for a Head of Crisis Response, a new role for someone with the drive and experience to establish and operationalize a team to manage risk and reputational issues across our go-to-market teams.
We're seeking a leader with strong collaboration skills to prepare for issues and incidents and coordinate our response when they occur. A strong sense of urgency and exceptional problem-solving is essential, as you will be playing a hands-on role during incidents. Just as important is your ability to think and plan long term as you partner company-wide to create playbooks and strategies for issues that may impact our business.
This is a senior position, with growth opportunities and the opportunity to manage a team, reporting to the Head of Communications. This role can be remote from anywhere in the US.
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: $209,000 - $278,700
Zone B: $188,100 - $250,800
Zone C: $173,500 - $231,300
This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.
