Job Description

The Opportunity

Atlassian is looking for a dedicated marketer for GreenHopper, the highly successful Agile project management tool. The average marketer need not apply, we are looking for evangelist/marketer to help communicate with developers who have a nose for normal marketing bullshit. The ideal candidate will be able to talk the talk and walk the walk when it comes to Agile software development. They are passionate about great software and always curious about how making incremental process changes can improve a team's performance. They will be able to condense highly technical concepts into tangible stories that developers respect. This person detests fluff marketing, and has intense pride in sharing useful information in a fun and meaningful way. They love discussing how teams can GSD (Get S&$@ Done) faster and love to participate in developer forums and communities. Aside for individual responsibilities, they are great team players who continually find ways to make their teams better.

The stuff you'll need to do

    • Think with the mind of the developer at all times

    • Create the 'Go To Market' plans required to drive revenue growth for Atlassian GreenHopper

    • Refine the marketing strategies needed to generate greater market adoption

    • Generate marketing videos and blogs with the technical precision developers expect and the fun 'X factor' that they admire

    • Team leadership skills to unite internal development, product management marketing & sales on common goals

    • Demonstrate to customers compelling uses for GreenHopper, both separately and integrated with other Atlassian and partner products.

    • Assimilate feed back from customers, partners and the competitive landscape for Product Management for incorporation into future product releases

    • Craft all of the product specific copy on the company web page to be consistent with company values and customer's needs

    • Arm the technical sales team with concise knowledge (competitive analysis, market landscape, product positioning) to assist them in delivering rapid and repeatable sales
