About the Opportunity:
We are seeking an experienced Jira Program & Portfolio Management Consultant to support the design, configuration, and implementation of Jira as an enterprise-wide project and portfolio management solution.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) to develop a scalable Jira framework that connects strategic business goals with project execution. You will play a key role in standardizing project structures, establishing cross-functional dependencies, implementing governance processes, and developing dashboards that provide leadership with visibility into portfolio performance and strategic priorities.
The ideal candidate combines hands-on Jira configuration expertise with a strong understanding of project, program, and portfolio management (PPM), particularly within complex, cross-functional business environments.
What You'll Do:
- Design and configure Jira to establish relationships between enterprise goals, strategic initiatives, programs, projects, milestones, dependencies, risks, and actions.
- Develop standardized Jira templates and project structures to support consistent execution and reporting across cross-functional initiatives.
- Establish mechanisms to align projects and programs with company goals and strategic priorities, enabling visibility into strategy execution.
- Implement cross-project dependency tracking to identify, manage, and monitor interconnected initiatives and deliverables.
- Configure standardized RAID (Risks, Actions, Issues, and Decisions) management structures to support project governance and decision-making.
- Build executive-level dashboards and portfolio reporting solutions to track program status, project health, milestones, risks, dependencies, goal progress, and escalations.
- Establish and implement Jira governance standards, including naming conventions, custom fields, workflows, statuses, and reporting practices.
- Partner with EPMO leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business requirements into practical, scalable Jira solutions.
- Document configurations, develop user guidance, and provide knowledge transfer to support successful adoption and long-term sustainability.
What We're Looking For:
- Proven hands-on experience configuring and implementing Atlassian Jira for enterprise project, program, and portfolio management.
- Strong expertise in Jira workflows, issue types, custom fields, automation, permissions, dashboards, and reporting capabilities.
- Experience designing Jira hierarchies and establishing relationships between strategic goals, programs, projects, milestones, and cross-project dependencies.
- Demonstrated experience implementing Jira for non-software, cross-functional business projects, beyond traditional Agile software development.
- Solid understanding of project and portfolio management principles, including strategic alignment, milestone tracking, dependency management, RAID management, and governance.
- Experience developing executive-level dashboards and portfolio reporting solutions.
- Ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable, user-friendly Jira configurations.
- Strong communication, analytical, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.
- Experience supporting an Enterprise PMO, Transformation Office, or Strategy Execution Office is highly preferred.
- Familiarity with Jira Premium, Advanced Roadmaps, Atlassian Goals, and Jira–Confluence integration is strongly preferred.

Entry Level Client Portfolio Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level client portfolio manager job?
Start by building hands-on experience through internships, campus investment clubs, or personal portfolio projects that demonstrate analytical thinking and client communication skills. Employers hiring at this level typically look for a relevant degree in finance, business, or economics, comfort with spreadsheets and reporting tools, and the ability to explain investment concepts clearly. Certifications like the SIE exam can also set you apart early.
Which companies hire entry level client portfolio managers?
Companies hiring entry level client portfolio managers right now include WorldQuant, Man, and Lockheed Martin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level covers wealth management firms, regional banks, insurance companies, and fintech startups that actively recruit new graduates into client-facing investment and portfolio support roles.
Are there remote entry level client portfolio manager jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor in-person or hybrid settings for training and client relationship reasons. About 25% of entry level client portfolio manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates with flexibility on location will find the widest range of opportunities at this stage.
Are these new grad client portfolio manager jobs?
Yes, many of the listings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience, relevant internships, or a demonstrated portfolio. A new grad posting at this level typically values your degree, your analytical coursework, and any client-facing work you can show, rather than requiring years of professional history.
Which industries hire the most entry level client portfolio managers?
Entry Level client portfolio manager roles concentrate in Investment & Asset Management, Technology & Software, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive junior hiring because they manage large books of client assets and need analytical support staff who can grow into full portfolio management responsibilities over time.
