Atlassian Administrator 3

Overview

LMI is seeking an Atlassian Administrator at Level III to configure, maintain, and support standardized Atlassian environments for Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) enterprise modernization initatives. The position blends Jira Commercial Cloud (JCC) implementation, user and access administration, Confluence Commercial Cloud (CCC) collaboration support, operational troubleshooting, and team onboarding to improve the consistency and usability of enterprise work-management tools. The Atlassian Administrator will configure projects, issue types, workflows, schemes, templates, dashboards, and automation rules while supporting approved Jira Align and Confluence activities. Working with solution architects, migration engineers, Agile coaches, and customer stakeholders, the administrator will onboard teams in prioritized waves, support daily operations, and help users adopt standardized working practices.

This is not a permission-change-only position. The administrator must recognize downstream effects of configuration decisions, investigate recurring incidents, document support patterns, and balance enterprise governance with practical team needs. The ideal candidate is hands-on, service oriented, attentive to access controls, and comfortable explaining configuration choices to nontechnical users.
