Jira Implementation & Integration Specialist4-8 weekscontract | Inside IR35 | LargelyOn-site in Liverpool
A leading global technology solutions and services provider is embarking on a programme to modernise and streamline its 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.
This is a key role at the start of a high-visibility programme. Youll be shaping how engineering, operations, and leadership teams collaborate, report, and deliver work across the organisation.

* 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.

* 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.)
