Job Level
About the role
- Own the end-to-end administration of Jira Cloud, JSM, and Confluence — including global configuration, permission models, issue hierarchies, custom fields, user and license management, and access governance.
- Define and maintain a long-term Atlassian platform roadmap aligned to business and engineering priorities, and serve as the internal subject matter expert on new and upcoming Atlassian capabilities.
- Architect scalable, standardized project configurations and workflow frameworks adoptable across teams, and lead integration design between Atlassian tools and adjacent platforms (e.g., CI/CD, ITSM, identity providers).
- Partner with engineering, IT, and business teams to assess current-state workflows and design future-state solutions that reduce friction, improve visibility, and scale with the organization.
- Build and optimize Jira and JSM workflows — including statuses, transitions, validators, post-functions, and SLA configurations — tailored to each team's delivery model (Scrum, Kanban, ITSM).
- Design, build, and maintain Jira Automation rules to eliminate manual toil, enforce process compliance, and trigger cross-tool actions.
- Develop and maintain reporting dashboards using Jira's native reporting, Confluence data macros, and third-party tools to surface sprint health, velocity, SLA adherence, and backlog metrics for engineering leads, product managers, and executives.
- Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders across the organization — leading discovery sessions, translating operational needs into Atlassian solutions, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Produce and maintain platform documentation in Confluence covering standards, onboarding guides, workflow runbooks, and change logs.
- Train and enable end users and team leads, driving self-sufficiency and platform adoption across the organization.
- Manage the Atlassian Marketplace ecosystem — evaluating, onboarding, and governing third-party apps and integrations.
- Establish and enforce platform governance standards, naming conventions, and configuration best practices.
Requirements
- 8+ years of hands-on Atlassian Cloud administration and solution design experience in an enterprise environment.
- Deep expertise across Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and Confluence — including advanced configuration, automation, and reporting.
- Demonstrated experience architecting and optimizing workflows for software engineering and/or IT service delivery teams.
- Proficiency with Jira Automation, including native rules, cross-project triggers, and webhook integrations.
- Experience building executive and operational dashboards using Jira and Confluence reporting tools.
- Strong communication and facilitation skills — able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and lead solution design conversations.
- Proven ability to own a platform end-to-end, including governance, documentation, and change management.
- Experience with third-party Marketplace apps (EazyBI, Tempo, ScriptRunner, Structure, or similar) preferred.
- Familiarity with Atlassian APIs and REST-based integrations preferred.
- Exposure to Agile delivery frameworks and ITSM practices
- Experience in a cloud-first, Microsoft 365-integrated enterprise environment a plus.
