Customer Retention Manager, Mid-Market, Renewals (German Speaking)

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.

Your Future Team

The Account Associates team is comprised of curious, proactive, fun-loving retention & expansion specialists, accountable for Atlassian's full suite of products and services. Our team is ultimately responsible for Atlassian’s strong customer retention, building loyalty through proactive engagement, effective objection handling techniques, and empathy for each business's unique needs. We look for opportunities to expand our customers' existing footprint at the time of renewal, are experts in mitigating purchasing friction and overcoming procurement challenges, and have a keen eye for discovering new opportunities for the broader Account team.

Our team drives renewal strategies and uncovers expansion opportunities at the time of renewal by probing for evolving requirements, leveraging data signals, and partnering with our Customer Success team to understand customers' goals and motivations. Every Account Associate is the crucial link between sales and customer success, collaborating with account executives and channel partners to mitigate churn risk, driving pricing and licensing discussions, and sharing feedback on the dynamic needs of our customers.

Above all, we believe in the Atlassian values and use them as our compass in always refining and optimizing our go-to-market model.
