Full Description

Overview At Atlassian, our Design Operations team helps designers and design leaders do their best work — faster, smarter, and more connected. We focus on the systems, tools, and practices that make design scalable and sustainable, using AI to amplify impact and remove friction. As a Design Ops Specialist, you’ll be the connector — bringing people, processes, and platforms together. You’ll help design teams stay in sync, keep projects moving, and create the clarity and structure that make collaboration feel effortless. This role is built for someone who loves turning plans into action — keeping teams aligned, tracking the details, and driving work forward to real results. Responsibilities Shape and scale the design operating system: Create the structures and shared patterns that help design teams stay connected, efficient, and aligned. Partner with design leadership to define the rhythms, tools, and ways of working that drive consistency and quality across platform and admin experiences. Coordinate cross-team alignment: Strengthen collaboration across design, product, and engineering by codifying shared practices and rituals that improve visibility, accountability, and impact. Integrate AI into design operations: Partner with design leaders to embed emerging technologies into tools and workflows — driving automation, insight, and operational excellence. Drive clarity through systems-level insights: Use data and qualitative feedback to surface patterns, remove friction, and identify opportunities to elevate connected design work across teams. Deliver with precision and adaptability: Plan, track, and execute complex initiatives, balancing long-term systems evolution with short-term operational improvements. Qualifications You’ll thrive in this role if you: Think in systems. You see how people, tools, and processes connect — and you keep them aligned toward shared outcomes. Drive consistency through operations. You help teams work in predictable, repeatable ways that support quality and focus. Are a collaborative producer. You bring order to moving parts, keep momentum steady, and help turn strategy into action. Have emerging AI fluency. You’re curious and confident using AI tools responsibly to improve workflows and efficiency. Communicate to connect. You translate complexity into clarity through documentation, facilitation, and clear storytelling. Build and improve over time. You value iteration, measurement, and learning as part of creating sustainable practices. Your background You have experience supporting design or product teams through operations, production, or enablement roles, connecting people and processes to make great work happen smoothly. You understand how design and engineering intersect — and you thrive in distributed, cross-functional environments where communication and coordination make all the difference. You’re motivated by structure, clarity, and the people they empower. Compensation At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs.
