Principal Product Designer, Jira

About the role

Atlassian is looking for a Principal Product Designer for Jira, its flagship product in the Teamwork Collection app suite.

It is a high-level individual contributor position leading and executing visionary work across Jira, with a remote option available.

Key responsibilities

• Mentor the Jira design team, lead strategic initiatives, set a cohesive vision and manage interconnected projects so Jira feels designed by one hand.
• Own the entire design process, defining end-to-end product experiences and user journeys rather than isolated features.
• Work with engineers, product managers, content designers, researchers, brand and marketing experts and analysts to advocate for the user experience.
• Integrate AI into Jira workflows and collaboration, and design journeys and patterns that modernise Jira's design language and unify it with Rovo and 1P/3P agentic workflows.
• Partner with leadership and stakeholders to define a unified vision for modern work management, and lead design projects from concept to delivery.
• Define success metrics and identify opportunities to improve apps and the platform and to advance AI-native product evolution.

Required profile

• 9+ years of end-to-end product design experience leading visual, UX and conceptual UI craft across complex enterprise software.
• Demonstrated experience shaping AI-native processes, workflows and agentic systems, including third-party agents and MCP integrations.
• Experience leading end-to-end UX and product design for ambiguous, strategic problems.
• Experience conducting and applying customer research, including design thinking, prototyping and conceptual modelling.
• Ability to balance customer needs with business goals, market viability and technical feasibility, and strong facilitation and cross-functional leadership skills.

Required skills

• Specialist UI craft and visual design execution.
• Advanced prototyping, including complex configurations and technical integrations.
• Program definition, stakeholder engagement, change management and negotiation of complex trade-offs.
