Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced ITSM / Jira Service Management Implementation Engineer to support the design, implementation and migration of a new ITSM platform on SHIP-HAT Jira Service Management (JSM).
The role will focus on modernising the current ITSM environment rather than performing a like-for-like migration. The successful candidate will help redesign service-management workflows, implement automation, and integrate JSM with SHIP-HAT Jira, Confluence, GitLab and other enterprise platforms.
Key Responsibilities
· Assess the existing JSM environment, workflows, service catalogue, request types, SLAs, automation and integrations.
· Design and configure the target ITSM solution on SHIP-HAT JSM.
· Implement core ITSM processes including Incident, Service Request, Problem, Change and Knowledge Management.
· Configure service portals, forms, workflows, queues, approvals, SLAs, notifications and automation rules.
· Support migration of agreed configurations and data from the existing on-premise JSM/Data Center environment.
· Simplify and modernise legacy workflows rather than replicate existing processes unnecessarily.
· Design and implement integrations with Jira, Confluence, GitLab and other systems using APIs, webhooks or supported integration methods.
· Support testing, migration validation, cutover, documentation and knowledge transfer.
Required Experience and Skills
· Strong hands-on experience implementing and configuring Atlassian Jira Service Management.
· Experience with JSM workflows, request types, forms, queues, SLAs, automation and permissions.
· Good understanding of ITSM processes and practices.
· Experience with Jira/JSM migration, preferably from Server or Data Center to a cloud-based environment.
· Experience with workflow automation, business-rule configuration and system integration.
· Experience using REST APIs, webhooks or similar integration methods.
· Experience with Jira and Confluence.
· Strong troubleshooting, documentation and stakeholder communication skills.
Preferred Experience
· Integration with GitLab or DevOps toolchains.
· JSM Assets / CMDB capabilities.
· ITIL certification or strong practical ITIL knowledge.
· Enterprise or government environment experience.
· AI-enabled ITSM or AIOps, such as ticket classification, incident summarisation, knowledge recommendations or intelligent routing.
Desired Profile
The ideal candidate is a hands-on JSM implementer who combines ITSM process knowledge, low-code workflow configuration, automation and system integration. The candidate should be comfortable challenging legacy processes and helping establish a simpler, more automated and integrated ITSM operating model.
