The Opportunity:
Everyone is trying to "harness the cloud," but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing infrastructure architect, you know how to take advantage of cloud capabilities. On our team of experienced professionals, you'll use cutting-edge enterprise cloud platforms to support your clients as they modernize their IT infrastructure and meet their most challenging missions. We're looking for a Jira Administrator to help manage the Atlassian Jira platform, focus on configuration, user management, and system customization to meet business needs. This role is responsible for controlling workflows, screens, fields, and apps, and holding higher permissions than project administrators.
The ideal candidate brings a strong blend of Jira administration, workflow engineering, and automation expertise, with the ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-visibility government environment. Key duties include but are not limited to enhancing productivity through automation, managing licensing costs, and ensuring efficient workflow design.
Grow your skills at the leading edge of innovation.
How You'll Contribute:

• Own and manage the Jira Software and Jira Service Management to support multiple delivery teams at scale
• Design and implement scalable workflows, permission models, and configuration schemes aligned to program needs and agile operations requirements
• Build and maintain automation solutions, such as Jira Automation or ScriptRunner to reduce manual processes and improve operational efficiency
• Develop advanced dashboards and reporting using JQL and native tools to provide leadership with visibility into program health, velocity, and risks
• Standardize Jira usage across teams by establishing best practices for backlog management, sprint tracking, and reporting structures
• Partner with program leadership, product owners, and delivery teams to translate business needs into technical Jira solutions
• Support Agile delivery by configuring Jira to enable Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe frameworks
• Continuously assess and improve Jira configurations to enhance performance, scalability, and user experience
• Manage user access, roles, and permissions in compliance with security and governance requirements
• Provide technical guidance and support to users, troubleshooting issues and driving adoption of Jira best practices
