Job Description

We are looking for a Senior/Expert Jira & Atlassian Consultant with deep expertise in Jira and the broader Atlassian ecosystem. This is not a Jira Administrator role. We are looking for someone who can independently assess the client’s current setup, identify improvement opportunities, and recommend and implement effective solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Audit and assess the existing Jira setup and Atlassian environment
  • Identify gaps and opportunities for optimization and improvement
  • Provide recommendations on Jira configuration, customization, workflows, reporting, and automation
  • Work with Jira Service Management/Service Desk
  • Advise the client on best practices and suitable Atlassian solutions
  • Independently analyze requirements and propose solutions rather than only executing predefined tasks
  • Support the client with Jira/Atlassian-related consulting and technical guidance

Requirements

  • Deep hands-on expertise with Jira and the Atlassian ecosystem
  • Strong experience with Jira customization, workflows, reporting, and automation
  • Experience with Jira Service Management/Service Desk
  • Strong consulting and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to independently communicate with clients, understand their needs, and recommend appropriate solutions
  • Experience auditing and optimizing existing Jira environments

Engagement

  • Global / location-flexible
  • Initial engagement expected to be approximately 1–2 months
  • Full-time or part-time
  • Potential for ongoing support after the initial engagement

We are currently conducting market research and would like to identify consultants who could potentially take on this type of engagement.
