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.

Tips for Your Program Portfolio Manager Job Search
Align your resume to governance frameworks
Hiring managers for program portfolio manager roles scan for named frameworks like SAFe, PMI-PfMP, and OKR alignment. Call out which governance model you used at each employer rather than describing duties in generic project language.
Quantify portfolio scope, not just outcomes
Describe the number of concurrent programs, total budget under management, and number of program managers you oversaw. Portfolio-level roles demand evidence of scale, and outcome metrics alone don't show it.
Target postings by budget authority level
Many program portfolio manager listings specify a capital budget threshold. Filter your search for roles where the stated budget range matches your experience, so you're not screened out for being over- or under-qualified on scope.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists program portfolio manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a portfolio roadmap artifact for interviews
Bring a sanitized sample roadmap or prioritization matrix you've used to rationalize a program portfolio. Interviewers for these roles frequently ask you to walk through a real decision, and a visual artifact makes your process concrete.
Negotiate scope alongside salary in final rounds
Program portfolio manager compensation often varies with the number of programs and direct reports. Before accepting, clarify portfolio size, decision-making authority, and reporting structure so the role you start matches what you agreed to.
Program Portfolio Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most program portfolio managers?
Fellowship Health Resources, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and AbbVie are hiring the most program portfolio managers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Virginia, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially high at large technology firms, federal contractors, and healthcare systems managing enterprise transformation programs.
How many program portfolio manager jobs are remote?
About 83% of program portfolio manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the planning and coordination nature of the role. Sub-areas like IT portfolio governance and strategic planning tend to have the highest share of remote-eligible positions, while roles tied to capital programs or government contracts more often require on-site presence.
How do you become a program portfolio manager?
Start by building several years of program management experience running multiple interdependent projects, then move into coordinating across programs rather than within a single one. Earning a PgMP or PfMP credential from PMI signals portfolio-level competence to hiring managers. Develop fluency with prioritization frameworks like weighted scoring and strategic alignment mapping, since those are the core analytical skills portfolio roles require.
How do you get hired as a program portfolio manager with limited experience?
Move into the role laterally from a senior program manager position by taking on portfolio-adjacent responsibilities, such as owning a program roadmap or coordinating resource allocation across two or more programs. Volunteer to present portfolio-level status to leadership, since exposure at that level is what hiring managers look for. A PMP plus documented experience managing program interdependencies can substitute for the PfMP credential early in a portfolio career.
What does the program portfolio manager interview process look like?
Expect a screening call focused on portfolio scope and governance experience, followed by a panel or series of interviews with the PMO leader, finance business partners, and sometimes a C-suite stakeholder. You'll typically work through a case or be asked to walk through a real prioritization or resource conflict you resolved. Final rounds often include a presentation of your portfolio management approach or a past roadmap artifact.
