Senior Privacy Counsel - Incident response

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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
This is a remote position. To help our teams work together, you will be located on the East Coast or Central North America.
Your future team
We're looking for a Senior Privacy Counsel - Incidents, reporting to the Director of Privacy - Incident Response. You'll join our Legal Incidents Team, a global team comprised of experienced privacy professionals with a background in incident management. We provide follow the sun support to the business in the event of an incident, ensuring that Atlassian is managing its legal obligations and living up to our values.
What you'll do

• Partner with business teams to investigate and manage legal obligations arising during incidents.
• Offer compliant business-focused solutions, balancing risk and Atlassian's values when making recommendations.

Your background

• Experience distilling complex legal and technical concepts into clear language, and communicating with senior leaders.

Compensation
At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable and explainable compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience.
In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:
Zone A: $192,800 - $257,000
