This role coaches teams to higher Agile maturity and builds and runs the Jira configuration that supports the way those teams work.

Enterprise Jira Administration
Administer and configure Jira on AGC at enterprise scale, including projects, workflows, issue types, screens, field configurations, custom fields, boards, and permission and notification schemes.
Design and maintain shared schemes and project templates so configuration stays standard across many teams and does not sprawl.
Manage permission schemes, issue security, groups, roles and user provisioning, including single sign-on through the client identity provider, in line with client security and compliance requirements.
Build and maintain Jira Automation rules and advanced JQL filters, and script administrative tasks against the Jira REST API.
Monitor license use, user growth, app usage and platform health, support renewal decisions, and evaluate Atlassian Marketplace apps against client security requirements.
Test configuration changes in a sandbox and make them through the client's change management process.
Jira Migration and Integration
Plan and run the move of teams' work from Azure DevOps Boards, GitLab and hosted Jira to Jira AGC, including field and workflow mapping, data cleanup, test migrations and cutover.
Work with platform engineers on integrations between Jira, GitLab and ServiceNow so planning data stays traceable through to release.
Agile Coaching and Team Maturity
Assess each team's Agile maturity, and create tailored coaching plans with measurable goals.
Coach teams on Scrum, Scrumban and Kanban events, artifacts and roles, and on the purpose behind each practice.
Work through resistance to Agile adoption, and build buy-in for new ways of working.
Partner with Scrum Masters, Product Owners and Program Managers, and apply the organization's Agile playbook and standards.
Agile Practices in Jira
Translate the Agile playbook into Jira configuration, such as standard workflows, issue hierarchy, client setups, and checks that enforce definitions of ready and done.
