Principal Atlassian Consultant

Remote 

We’re seeking an accomplished Principal Atlassian Consultant to join our Atlassian Practice. In this client-facing leadership role, you’ll guide enterprise organizations through large-scale Atlassian Cloud transformations, ESM implementations, and AI-enhanced delivery frameworks. You’ll act as a trusted advisor and hands-on technical leader—facilitating discovery workshops, designing solutions, leading delivery work streams, and mentoring teams of consultants.

This is both a strategic and execution-oriented role for someone who thrives at the intersection of process, technology, and people.

• 7+ years of consulting or enterprise Atlassian administration experience.
• Extensive hands-on experience configuring and administering Jira, Confluence, and JSM in complex, multi-project environments.
• Proven success in leading migrations, process transformations, or enterprise implementations.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple parallel engagements.
• Exceptional written, verbal, and virtual facilitation skills.
  Atlassian Certifications (ACP-120, ACP-620, ACP-420, etc.) strongly preferred.
• Bonus: experience with scripting (Groovy, Python, REST APIs) and third-party integrations.
  

• Own end-to-end delivery for Atlassian consulting projects — from discovery through post-implementation stabilization.
• Facilitate customer discovery workshops to define business outcomes, tool architecture, and process alignment.
• Oversee multiple concurrent work streams, delegate effectively to junior consultants, and act as the Delivery Lead / Project Manager for enterprise engagements.
• Create client enablement materials (Confluence playbooks, video tutorials, live training) to drive long-term adoption and success.

• Deep, hands-on expertise with Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Atlassian Marketplace apps.
• Experience implementing Enterprise Service Management (ESM) use cases — including Incident, Problem, and Change Management processes — integrated with alerting, monitoring, and ITOM tools (e.g., PagerDuty, Opsgenie, ServiceNow, Datadog, Splunk).
• Skilled in Atlassian Cloud Enterprise, Atlassian Guard, and Atlassian Intelligence (AI) capabilities, including automation, predictive analytics, and Rovo agent integration.
• Ability to advise clients on tool rationalization and modernization across the Teamwork, Strategy, and Service Management Collections.

• Proven experience leading Atlassian Data Center → Cloud migrations, including app assessments, data cleanup, migration planning, and post-cutover optimization.
• Understanding of Cloud architecture, data residency, and governance best practices.
• Working knowledge of SSO/SAML, identity management, and IdPs such as Okta, Azure AD, and Atlassian Guard.

• Deep understanding of Agile frameworks, DevOps, and project management practices, with the ability to advise clients on process optimization—not just tool configuration.
• Expertise in configuring Jira for Scaled Agile (SAFe, LeSS, Scrum@Scale), Portfolio Management, and Value Stream Management initiatives.
• Ability to translate complex client processes into clear, actionable Jira/Confluence configurations.

• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and developer ecosystem integrations (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, CircleCI, SonarQube).
• Ability to design traceable workflows from code commit through release, integrating development and operations teams via Atlassian tools.
• Familiarity with developer experience metrics and productivity automation.

• Familiarity with Atlassian Intelligence, Rovo agents, and generative AI tools such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, and others.
• Ability to design and advise on AI-augmented consulting practices—automating documentation, release notes, or Confluence content quality audits using AI.
• Passion for exploring how emerging AI tools enhance delivery velocity, governance, and collaboration.

• Serve as the primary client contact, managing expectations, communications, and measurable outcomes.
• Support presales and proposal development by contributing technical insight and delivery strategy.
• Coach, mentor, and elevate less senior consultants; foster knowledge sharing within Modus’s Atlassian practice.
• Represent Modus Create as a thought leader through webinars, conferences, or community contributions.

• Overlap with the US Eastern TimeZone daily is expected.
• Reliable high-speed internet is a must!
