Must Have Skills

• Expert-level knowledge of Tempo Structure: creating, configuring, and managing boards, columns, swimlanes, and views
• Strong working knowledge of Atlassian Jira Data Centre - project types, issue hierarchies, custom fields, and how data is structured
• Ability to quickly orient within an unfamiliar Jira DC configuration and identify what is and isn't achievable for a given request
• Experience building boards that support planning and management use cases (quarterly planning, OKR tracking, capacity views, strategy boards)

Nice to Have Skills

• Understanding of Agile Ways of Working - particularly how teams plan, track, and report on delivery at a portfolio or programme level
• Familiarity with OKR frameworks and how they are commonly represented in Jira-based tooling
• Awareness of capacity management concepts and how resource allocation is typically modelled in Atlassian environments

Detailed Job Description

• Rapidly take ownership of incoming board requests, conducting lightweight discovery to clarify scope and confirm requirements directly with requestors and senior stakeholders
• Design, build, and deliver Tempo Structure boards to support a range of management use cases, including:
• Delivery Flow Tracking - visibility of work-in-progress and throughput across teams
• Tactical OKR / Objectives Tracking - linking work items to strategic objectives in an digestible view
• Plan on a Page - consolidated planning views that surface quarterly or annual commitments and progress
• Tactical Capacity Management - boards that expose resourcing and allocation across teams or time periods
• Any additional urgent structural views as they arise, based on emerging leadership needs

Requirements & Stakeholder Engagement

• Engage directly with senior leadership and management stakeholders to validate requirements and confirm priorities before building
• Translate high-level, often loosely defined management needs into clear, buildable Tempo Structure configurations
• Communicate delivery timelines, constraints, and trade-offs clearly - flagging when a request cannot be fulfilled as described given the DC configuration or available data
• Rapidly assess and understand the existing Atlassian DC configuration (project structures, issue hierarchies, custom fields, workflows) to determine what is possible for each board request
• Work within the constraints of the current DC environment - solutions need not be permanent or elegant, but must be reliable and fit for purpose for their intended shelf life
• Maintain awareness of the Cloud transition direction to avoid building DC configurations that would complicate migration
