• Partner with PMO, engineering, product, and business teams to translate program and reporting needs into scalable Jira and process solutions.
• Define and implement standards for Jira usage, data quality, governance, and workflow consistency across teams and programs.
• Develop and maintain reporting frameworks, dashboards, and metrics that provide actionable visibility into delivery health, risks, dependencies, and program performance.
• Support process improvement initiatives by identifying manual activities, streamlining workflows, and implementing automation that improves efficiency and control.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to support portfolio planning, dependency management, change tracking, and milestone reporting through Jira-based solutions.
• Provide advanced troubleshooting, user support, and administration for Jira configurations, permissions, workflows, and operational issues.
• Create and maintain documentation, governance guides, and training materials for platform use, reporting standards, and operational processes.
• Evaluate and support integrations between Jira and related tools such as Confluence, service management tools, reporting platforms, or other enterprise systems.
• Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

Experience you'll need to have:

• 12+ years of experience in Jira engineering, Jira administration, PMO tooling, delivery operations, or similar roles supporting enterprise program execution.
• 12+ years of experience designing and administering workflows, permissions, dashboards, automations, and reporting solutions in Jira or similar work management platforms.
• Experience supporting PMO governance, portfolio reporting, delivery metrics, dependency management, and program controls in complex enterprise environments.
• Experience translating business and delivery requirements into scalable system configurations, workflow designs, and operational reporting structures.
• Experience with process improvement, workflow automation, and governance controls that improve data quality, reporting accuracy, and delivery transparency.
• Experience supporting integrations between Jira and related collaboration, reporting, or service management platforms.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.

Experience that would be great to have:

• Experience with Atlassian tools such as Confluence or Jira Service Management.
• Experience supporting enterprise PMO functions in financial services, payments, or technology environments.
• Experience with scripting, automation, or marketplace applications used to extend Jira platform capabilities.
• Atlassian certification or equivalent platform administration credential.
