Senior Principal TPM - Agentic Identity & Access
Overview
Your Future Team
Atlassian's Identity & Access platform is the foundational fabric that secures every interaction - human and machine - across our products. AI agents are first-class actors in Atlassian. The way we authenticate, authorize, and the way our customers govern these identities is undergoing a step-change transformation. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, security, and product, leading the company's cross-cutting program to define, deliver, and drive adoption of the golden path for agentic identity & access. You'll join the Technical Program Management organization and partner directly with engineering leaders across Atlassian building agentic capabilities, as well as executive stakeholders.
Working at Atlassian
Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity.
Responsibilities
Own and drive the end-to-end program for Agentic Identity & Access across Atlassian, encompassing strategy, roadmap, and accountability mapping.
Drive clarity across Atlassian on how agents authenticate, are authorized, and are governed when interacting with Atlassian data.
Drive adoption of the Agentic Identity & Access golden path across all agentic runtimes and product teams.
Lead cross-functional delivery, ensuring accountability to commitments across multiple departments. Proactively identify and resolve organizational ambiguity around ownership, accountability, and prioritization in a rapidly evolving space. Synthesize complex, multi-team program information into concise, actionable communications.
Represent Atlassian's point of view on agentic identity and access externally, contributing to industry thought leadership.
Drive systemic improvements to how Atlassian delivers cross-cutting, multi-org platform programs - codifying patterns, playbooks, and operating rhythms that scale. Mentor and uplift TPMs across the organization and evolve the TPM craft at Atlassian

Qualifications
Role Qualifications

Deep technical fluency in identity and access management concepts (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, authorization models, consent frameworks) with the ability to engage credibly at architecture-level discussions.
Demonstrated ability to drive strategy and delivery across multiple engineering teams simultaneously, with competing priorities and without direct authority: influencing through clarity, trust, and frameworks.
Experience shaping and driving platform adoption programs, not just building infrastructure, but measurably getting product teams to migrate onto prescribed patterns.
Track record of building executive-ready narratives that drive alignment and unblock decisions at VP+ levels, in written, visual, and verbal formats.
Experience with competitive market positioning in platform/security spaces and ability to translate external signals into internal strategy adjustments.
Strong commercial instinct: ability to partner with product and GTM on what to monetize vs. what to include as foundational, and how to sequence accordingly.
Familiarity with AI agent architectures, MCP (Model Context Protocol), agentic runtime patterns, and enterprise governance frameworks.
Experience at scale SaaS companies navigating the tension between platform standardization and product-team autonomy.
