• Track, investigate and resolve migration issues with technical teams and stakeholders, and obtain sign-offs from Jira administrators, DevOps teams and project representatives.
• Prepare technical documentation such as migration runbooks, decision logs, user guides and support knowledge bases.
• Support change management and user adoption through communication, training, demonstrations and post-migration support.

Required profile

• 4-6 years of relevant professional experience.
• Good understanding of Agile methodologies and experience working with Agile teams.
• Experience designing test scenarios, validating results and documenting them.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, documentation and organizational skills.
• Previous Jira Data Center to Cloud migration experience is a significant advantage.

Required skills

• Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud, including workflows, workflow schemes, permission schemes, security levels, custom fields, project configurations, JQL and dashboards.
• Preferred: familiarity with Atlassian migration tools such as Jira Cloud Migration Assistant, Jira Automation, common Marketplace apps, basic scripting or REST API knowledge.
