Atlassian Solutions Architect

Outcomes sought:

Lead technical discovery with customers, understanding business objectives, current-state architecture, requirements, constraints, and dependencies.
Translate customer requirements into appropriate Atlassian solution architectures and implementation approaches.
Produce high-quality estimates for implementation work, including fixed-price engagements, with clear assumptions, exclusions, dependencies and scope boundaries.
Identify technical, delivery, and commercial risks early enough for them to be addressed before commitments are made.
Support sales opportunities through customer workshops, demonstrations, proof of concepts, RFP/RFI responses, and Statements of Work.
Build credibility and trusted relationships with customer stakeholders, explaining both what is possible with Atlassian and the practical implications of different solution choices.
Work collaboratively with sales and delivery teams to ensure that solutions sold canbe delivered successfully, and that handover from pre-sales into implementation is effective.
Maintain strong, current knowledge of Atlassian products, platform capabilities, ecosystem developments and Marketplace applications.
Understand emerging Atlassian capabilities and product direction and assess where they create meaningful opportunities or implementation considerations for customers.
Provide technical leadership across solutions involving Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence and the wider Atlassian platform, with appropriate knowledge of areas such as Rovo, Jira Align, Bitbucket and relevant Marketplace applications.
Advise customers on architecture, configuration, integration, migration, security, governance and operating model considerations.
Design solutions that make appropriate use of standard Atlassian capability while avoiding unnecessary customisation and downstream technical debt.
Remain sufficiently hands-on to validate solution approaches, support demonstrations and proof of concepts, and provide technical guidance during implementation.
Work effectively with incomplete information, knowing when there is sufficient clarity to produce a responsible estimate and when further discovery is required.
Help shape opportunities so that assessments, discovery engagements and initial implementations create a clear path to appropriate follow-on work where there is clear customer value.
