You will be the primary builder of our Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence, and Jira Product Discovery). Your goal is to create a seamless "Discovery-to-Delivery" pipeline. You’ll ensure that all the workstreams in the organization come together to seamlessly introduce new products into the market.
Key Responsibilities
1. Atlassian Platform Administration & Governance
- Build & Configure: Create and maintain Jira Software, JPD, and Confluence Cloud/Data Center instances tailored to consumer hardware product lines.
- System Integrity: Manage user provisioning, global permissions, and security groups while conducting regular audits to prune technical debt.
- Ecosystem Integration: Integrate the Atlassian suite with external engineering tools, PLM systems, and ERP platforms (e.g., GitHub, CAD management, or specialized compliance tools).
2. Hardware, Design & Asset Workflow Orchestration
- Multidisciplinary Lifecycle Mapping: Map physical product development processes into existing digital workflows (ex. Industrial Design (ID) process, Packaging Operations, Memory Qual Processes, etc.)
- Marketing & Packaging Pipelines: Build & maintain Jira processes for the Marketing and Creative teams to track packaging artwork, legal/regulatory labeling, and go-to-market (GTM) digital assets.
- NPI Frameworks: Manage templates and project blueprints for New Product Introduction (NPI) initiatives to ensure consistency across different storage categories.
- Hardware Tracking: Configure custom fields and linking strategies to track hardware-specific attributes such as SKUs, Bill of Materials (BOM) references, and regulatory certifications.
3. Product Discovery & Roadmap Leadership
- JPD Implementation: Partner with Product Management to configure Jira Product Discovery for opportunity assessment, data-driven prioritization, and insight gathering.
- Visibility & Reporting: Build sophisticated dashboards that provide real-time visibility into product milestones, release readiness, and cross-functional dependencies between ID, Engineering, and Marketing.
4. Knowledge Ecosystem & Training
- Enablement: Develop training materials and conduct workshops for a 200+ user base, championing best practices for agile methodologies and documentation.
Technical Requirements
- Jira Mastery: 5+ years of hands-on administration (Cloud/Data Center). Expert knowledge of custom issue types, complex workflows, and Jira Plans (Advanced Roadmaps).
- JPD Specialist: Proven experience configuring Idea boards, views, and matrix layouts in Jira Product Discovery.
- Automation & Scripting: Deep proficiency in Jira Automation and JQL. Experience with ScriptRunner, REST APIs, or Python for custom automation is highly valued.
- Confluence Wizardry: Expertise in using advanced macros, blueprints, and content governance to manage high-volume technical documentation.
