Account Executive, Public Sector - State and Local Government (West)

Working at Atlassian

Atlassian is on a mission to unleash the potential of every team and we are making significant investments into our public sector vertical. We partner with many State and Local Government and Federal Civilian agencies, Higher Education institutions, and the largest Federal Systems Integrators to advance humanity through the power of software and collaboration. We have over 250,000 customers worldwide, and our Public Sector Account Executives are working with our largest and most strategic public sector customers to scale their investments in Atlassian.
