JIRA Project Manager

Location: Orlando, Florida
Job Type: Contract
Compensation Range: $70 - 80 per hour

Join the most advanced technical solutions group within a global leader in hospitality and entertainment. Our DX Technology & Digital team is responsible for the end-to-end guest experience across attractions, resorts, and merchandise. We aren't just maintaining systems; we are pioneering AI-integrated delivery models to redefine how enterprise technology is managed.

We are seeking an IT Project Manager who functions as a technical architect and strategic lead. This role transcends traditional Jira administration-you will be the functional owner of our Jira platform, defining how project data is captured, visualized, and leveraged to provide executive-level transparency across a massive commerce organization.
 
Responsibilities:

• Strategic Platform Ownership: Define and govern "standard ways of working" within Jira to support complex enterprise delivery methodologies.
• Executive Insights & Visualization: Architect and automate high-level dashboards that provide "decision-ready" insights into program health, risks, and cross-team dependencies.
• AI Agent Development: Design and build custom AI agents from scratch within Jira and secondary applications to automate reporting and generate predictive delivery analytics.
• Platform Governance: Lead the configuration of Jira projects, complex workflows, and permission schemes while maintaining strict data integrity.
• Ecosystem Integration: Manage the technical bridge between Jira, Confluence, and SharePoint to ensure a unified "single source of truth."
• Cloud Migration SME: Serve as the primary functional expert during the On-Prem to Cloud transition, ensuring business requirements and custom solutions are preserved.
• Mentorship: Coach project teams on standardized workflows to improve predictability across the entire program. 

Qualifications:

• Enterprise Experience: Deep experience in Program and Project Management within a large-scale, high-stakes corporate environment.
• Technical DNA: A background in Engineering or Development is highly preferred.
• AI Proficiency: Demonstrated experience building AI agents from scratch (not just using pre-built tools). Proficiency with tools like Cursor, Claude, or Amazon Q is ideal.
• Jira Mastery: Advanced expertise in Jira (Cloud and Server), including JQL for complex data extraction and Advanced Roadmaps for dependency mapping.
• Reporting Excellence: Proven ability to translate massive, "messy" data sets into polished, automated executive reporting.
• Integration Skills: Hands-on experience integrating Jira with Confluence, SharePoint, and external APIs.
• Communication: Elite interpersonal skills with the ability to present complex technical roadmaps to executive leadership.
