Jira/Atlassian Consultant

Jira Implementation & Integration Specialist

Location: Xcede, Merseyside, England, United Kingdom
Contract length: 4‑8 weeks
IR35 status: Inside IR35
Work location: Largely on‑site in Liverpool

At Xcede, a leading global technology solutions provider, we are embarking on a programme to modernise and streamline our delivery and reporting toolset. As part of this transformation, we are seeking an experienced Jira Implementation & Integration Specialist to support the rollout of Jira across multiple teams and to establish best‑practice configuration, workflows, and integrations.

The Role

You will take ownership of the following:

• Implementing Jira Software to replace existing tools (including Zoho Sprints)
• Designing scalable, optimised project structures, issue types, workflows, and permissions
• Configuring cross‑team collaboration models and reporting foundations
• Establishing governance and best practices for long‑term Jira usage
• Planning and delivering integrations with Monday.com and ManageEngine ServiceDesk
• Advising on tooling adoption, process alignment, and data consistency
• Ensuring Jira is set up to support both day‑to‑day delivery and executive‑level reporting

This is a hands‑on implementation and configuration role – not just user‑level work.

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience

• Proven track record in implementing and configuring Jira, not just using it
• Strong understanding of Jira Cloud administration (projects, schemes, workflows, fields, permissions, automation)
• Experience designing Jira structures for multi‑team or cross‑functional environments
• Prior success migrating teams from legacy tools into Jira
• Experience integrating Jira with third‑party systems (ideally Monday.com, ManageEngine, or similar)
• Comfortable working with API‑based integrations, webhooks, and automation logic
• Ability to run discovery workshops with delivery, operational, and leadership teams
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate business processes into tool design

Nice to Have

• Exposure to Jira Service Management (JSM)
• Experience within ITSM, Engineering Enablement, PMO, or Agile transformation environments
• Familiarity with Monday.com workflows and reporting structures
• Atlassian certifications (Jira Admin, Managing Jira Projects, etc.)

Contract Details

• 4‑8 week contract
• Inside IR35
• Largely on‑site in Liverpool
• Opportunity to influence tooling strategy and future integration roadmap
