Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
- Serving as a primary support for the engineering team’s Jira and Confluence environments.
- Assisting technical teams with the configuration of Jira projects, optimizing workflows, and defining new custom fields, screen schemes, and permission schemes.
- Automating and integrating Jira with developer tools.
- Partnering with engineering managers and functional leads to analyze, document, and standardize key processes (e.g., sprint planning, bug tracking, and epic management).
- Building and maintaining program-level and team-level dashboards (using Jira Dashboards, EazyBI, or other BI tools) and assisting teams in developing and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Triage, troubleshoot, and resolve user-reported issues related to Jira and associated tooling.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
- 6+ years of experience in technical program management, project management, or a similar role within a software development environment.
- Deep expertise in Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence), including creating complex JQL queries, configuring advanced workflows, Jira Plan, Jira structures, and building shared dashboards. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
- Extensive experience synchronizing SDLC tools, specifically linking Jira with Git to automate status transitions and improve traceability.
- Proficient in Agile methodologies, leveraging Jira to streamline sprint planning, backlog grooming, and project tracking.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to define metrics, analyze data, and generate actionable insights.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, translating team needs into scalable, automated, and simplified operational models.
- Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
