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.
- Atlassian certifications are a plus.

Entry Level Portfolio Coordinator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level portfolio coordinator job?
Start by building a portfolio that shows you can organize, track, and present work clearly, even from academic projects, freelance work, or internships. Employers at this level look for candidates who understand basic project timelines, file management, and stakeholder communication. Highlighting any experience coordinating deliverables, supporting creative teams, or managing asset libraries gives you a real edge over candidates with only a generic resume.
Which companies hire entry level portfolio coordinators?
Companies hiring entry level portfolio coordinators right now include WorldQuant, Man, and Northwest Bank, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including creative agencies, financial services firms, and marketing departments at larger corporations that need organized support for managing project and asset pipelines.
Are there remote entry level portfolio coordinator jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles remain common at the entry level. About 27% of entry level portfolio coordinator openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who prefer flexibility do have options. Searching by location and work arrangement helps you narrow the list to roles that fit your situation without ruling out strong opportunities at companies that prefer in-person onboarding for junior hires.
Are these new grad portfolio coordinator jobs?
Yes, many of these openings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with little or no professional experience. A new grad posting typically calls for zero to two years of experience and counts internships, coursework, or a personal portfolio toward that threshold. If a listing mentions a preference for a portfolio sample or describes training the right candidate, it's written with new grads in mind.
Which industries hire the most entry level portfolio coordinators?
Entry Level portfolio coordinator 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 hiring at this level because they manage large volumes of creative assets, investment portfolios, or project documentation that require organized, detail-oriented coordinators to keep workflows running and stakeholders informed.
