Principal Atlassian Consultant

United States of America (USA)

Join Us as Our Principal Atlassian Consultant

Remote I U.S I Full time

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.

About You: What You Bring

  • 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.

Your Work: What You’ll Do

Lead Strategic Engagements

  • 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.

Atlassian Product Mastery

  • 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.

Cloud Migrations & Platform Architecture

  • 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.

Agile & Process Consulting

  • 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.

DevOps & Developer Productivity

  • 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.

AI-Enabled Delivery

  • 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.

Client Engagement & Leadership

  • 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.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
