Atlassian Ecosystem & Knowledge Management

• Atlassian Administration: Administer Trilogy’s Atlassian stack (Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Confluence), including user access, group permissions, workflows, custom fields, and scheme configurations. 

• Knowledge Base (Atlas / Confluence): Lead the structural design, space governance, and maintenance of Confluence as Trilogy's central knowledge hub and single source of truth for standard operating procedures (SOPs) and end-user documentation. 

Compliance, Security & Governance

• Access Governance: Own and automate identity and access management (IAM) lifecycle controls and periodic access review certifications. 

• Audit & Security Support: Maintain operational alignment with compliance and security standards (e.g., CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, SOC 2, ISO 9001); assist with vulnerability remediation, internal audits, and infrastructure readiness assessments.
