ABOUT US
At South Geeks, we connect top-performing engineers from Latin America with global organizations building meaningful, long-term products. We focus on high-impact work, strong technical environments, and creating spaces where professionals can grow, contribute, and thrive.
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Our client is a global nonprofit technology organization dedicated to helping people discover, preserve, and connect family history data. They operate large-scale, cloud-based platforms used by millions worldwide, and portfolio and strategy management inside Jira is becoming central to how their work gets planned and funded.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a hands-on Jira Admin with deep expertise in Atlassian’s ecosystem to design, validate, implement, and own an outcome-based planning system across Jira Premium, Atlassian Goals, and Jira Product Discovery (JPD).
You’ll lead the client’s move from a custom Jira hierarchy (Initiative → Work Plan → Milestone → Epic → Story) into outcome-based quarterly planning (Objectives → Strategic Plays → Business Outcomes → Product Outcomes → Epics → Stories), run a small Planning Center of Excellence that teaches product groups how to work in the new model and build the cost visibility leadership needs to decide what to fund.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
•
Lead the Planning Center of Excellence: hands-on training, documentation, office hours, and pairing with teams adopting the new model.
•
Assess the current Jira Premium hierarchy, workflows, boards, reporting model, and internal executive-reporting tool.
•
Validate whether Atlassian Goals is the right foundation for the strategy layer.
•
Design the model for Strategic Objectives, Strategic Plays, Business Outcomes, and Product Outcomes, and their relationships to Teams, Jira work items, and success measures.
•
Develop an approach for calculating and tracking the cost of Objectives, Strategic Plays, and Business Outcomes.
•
Define when to use Atlassian Goals, Jira Premium hierarchy/custom issue types, Jira Product Discovery, native Jira, marketplace apps, or custom development.
