Working at Atlassian

About the teamAtlassian is undergoing one of the most significant business-model shifts in its history: the move from per-seat licensing to usage-based, hybrid monetization across our AI (Rovo) and platform meters. The UBP team sits at the center of this transformation - defining how customers experience allowances, usage visibility, spend controls, and enforcement across every Atlassian product.
This is a rare opportunity to shape a multi-hundred-million-dollar monetization motion from the ground up, working across Product, Engineering, GTM, Finance, and Legal at the highest levels of the company.
About the roleAs a Principal Product Manager for UBP, you'll own a core pillar of the usage-based monetization strategy - from vision through launch and iteration. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy on ambiguous, company-critical problems, and your decisions will directly influence revenue, customer trust, and the long-term monetization architecture of Atlassian.
You'll be expected to lead without authority across a large cross-functional surface, make principled trade-offs between monetization and customer experience, and set the standard for product thinking on the team.
What you'll do

• Own the strategy and roadmap for a major UBP domain (e.g., allowances & entitlements, admin spend controls, usage visibility, or metering & enforcement).
• Define the customer experience for how organizations view, govern, and pay for usage - balancing revenue outcomes with customer trust and predictability.
• Drive cross-functional execution across Engineering, Design, GTM, Marketing, Finance, and Legal, aligning senior stakeholders on contentious, high-stakes decisions.
• Make the hard calls - e.g., default-on vs. default-off, enforcement timing, notice periods - grounded in data, industry benchmarks, and customer impact.
• Instrument and measure what matters: adoption, allowance headroom, unplanned overage rates, and trust signals; use them to steer the roadmap.
• Influence company-level monetization decisions by bringing rigorous analysis and clear recommendations to executive forums (CPO/CFO/CMO level).
• Set the product bar - mentor other PMs, raise the quality of specs, decisions, and customer thinking across the team.

What we're looking for

• 8+ years in product management, including experience owning monetization, pricing, billing, platform, or admin/governance products at scale.
• Proven success shipping in ambiguity - you've taken a 0-1 or business-model-changing initiative from strategy to launch.
• Commercial fluency - comfortable reasoning about pricing, LRP/revenue impact, and unit economics, and translating them into product decisions.
• Executive influence - a track record of driving alignment among senior, cross-functional stakeholders with competing priorities.
• Data-driven judgment - you define the right metrics and use them to make principled trade-offs, not just to report.
• Customer-obsessed rigor - you protect customer trust even under revenue pressure, and can articulate the long-term cost of short-term monetization choices.
• Exceptional communication - you distill complex, contentious topics into crisp narratives that executives can decide on quickly.

Nice to have

• Experience with usage-based / consumption pricing (credits, metering, overage, enforcement) in a SaaS or AI context.
• Familiarity with admin/governance surfaces (RBAC, SCIM, spend controls) or enterprise billing systems.
• Exposure to AI product monetization and the emerging norms across the industry.

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. We follow consistent hiring practices and account for each candidate's skills, knowledge, and experience when setting base pay within the range.
