- Manage platform enhancements and process-improvement efforts from intake through design, configuration, testing, release, adoption, and closure
- Conduct gap analyses and assess proposed changes, new capabilities, and emerging technologies; provide concise recommendations grounded in user value, technical feasibility, governance, and operational impact
- Facilitate technical working sessions and maintain action, risk, issue, and decision follow-through across multiple simultaneous workstreams
- Configure and maintain Jira, Jira Service Management (JSM), Confluence, and related SDLCNext capabilities in coordination with platform and application administrators

- Prepare research packages and coordinate with software/system vendors and Tier-3 support for complex defects, product questions, and enhancement requests
- Plan and support releases, upgrades, patches, maintenance activities, and capability-adoption efforts while minimizing disruption to users and maintaining operational continuity
- Use service, incident, request, adoption, and platform data to identify recurring issues, prioritize improvements, and improve transparency of support performance
- Facilitate integration requests and support the design, implementation, testing, and sustainment of integrations between SDLCNext and adjacent tools or services
- Use Jira Automation, REST APIs, scripting/plugins, or other fit-for-purpose methods to reduce manual work and improve workflow quality and consistency
- Develop and maintain queries, dashboards, reports, and metrics that provide useful operational and management insight
- Evaluate new Atlassian capabilities and add-ons for applicability, maintainability, security, and value before recommending adoption
- Create and maintain job aids, SOPs, configuration documentation, operating guidance, and other materials that make support processes repeatable and auditable
- Conduct new-user training, targeted user education, demonstrations, and knowledge-sharing sessions; tailor guidance to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Cross-train team members and administrators on design, configuration, troubleshooting, and monitoring practices to reduce single points of failure
- Support tool/platform transitions, contract transitions, and knowledge-transfer activities by documenting current-state configurations, open issues, dependencies, and operating procedures

- Experience supporting Confluence and integrating Atlassian tools with other enterprise systems
- Working knowledge of ITSM practices including service request, incident, problem, change, release, and configuration management

- Structured technical delivery: manages scope, timelines, dependencies, actions, risks, decisions, and communications without losing technical detail
- Customer orientation: translates user needs into practical solutions while setting appropriate expectations and protecting platform standards
- Technical judgment: understands when to configure, automate, integrate, escalate, or simplify rather than defaulting to unnecessary customization
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication with the ability to explain technical decisions to Government, business, and engineering stakeholders
