We're very happy that the folk from Atlassian will be joining us as Executive Sponsor this year. Atlassian's portfolio of products includes JIRA, our flagship product, which helps teams to assign, track, and manage tasks for any project, no matter how complex. Confluence, our solution to create and share content, organise results, and bring team members up to speed. BitBucket, a Git repository management for enterprise teams. And, Trello for organising projects in a fun, flexible, and visual way. Atlassian is helping teams in every industry, from start-up to enterprise, make great ideas real. As Atlassian continues to evolve into an experience-led organisation, we're continually seeking forward-thinking designers to help guide us through the transformation. Over the last few years, our design team has grown from a handful of design thinkers & talented tinkerers to almost 200 people globally, but we're only just getting started. In search of top designers, we hire (and relocate) candidates from around the world. They're a 'must meet' so give them a wave and say hello.

Futureheads are lovely, and extremely good at what they do, which is digital recruitment. They’re not like other folk, and work hard to help you navigate the digital industry – to help find the right role for you, or the right people for your team. When you talk to a Futurehead you talk to a specialist who ‘gets’ what you do and what you’re looking for. Insightful, helpful, and refreshing. So if you’re looking to hire or be hired, for temporary, contract or permanent roles, have a chat with them at their stand.
