Job description

​The Role: Project Manager - Atlassian Migration Expert

Location: Sheffield, UK

Position Type: Contract Inside IR35

Remote work option Available: Hybrid – 2 - 3 Days Onsite


Job Description:

Required experience & skills

  • Proven experience delivering complex migrations as a Project Manager, including Atlassian migration delivery (Jira/Confluence strongly preferred).

  • Demonstrable experience leading non-Atlassian migrations (e.g., cloud/platform migrations, data migrations, tooling consolidation, application migration).

  • Working understanding of ETL concepts, data mapping, reconciliation, and migration quality controls (not necessarily hands-on engineering, but able to govern effectively).

  • Strong grasp of end-to-end traceability and delivery evidence from requirements to deployment and post-cutover assurance.

  • Excellent stakeholder management across engineering, product owners, security, operations, and third-party vendors.

  • Strong planning skills: dependency management, cutover planning, runbooks, and go/no-go governance.

  • Comfortable working in Agile, waterfall, or hybrid delivery models.

Desirable experience

  • Experience with Atlassian Marketplace apps migration, automation, and complex workflow/schema refactoring.

  • Familiarity with common migration tooling and approaches (e.g., phased migration, parallel run, blue/green cutover, dry runs).

  • Experience delivering in regulated environments with strong audit and control expectations.

  • ITIL/Service transition exposure (operational readiness, incident/change processes).
