About the role
What this role covers
An Atlassian Consultant configures, customizes and maintains tools such as Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management and Bitbucket to fit a company's workflows. Work ranges from small workflow fixes to full-scale platform rollouts across departments.
Typical deliverables
- Custom Jira workflows, screens and permission schemes
- Confluence spaces structured for teams and documentation
- Cloud migration plans from Server or Data Center to Atlassian Cloud
- Automation rules reducing manual ticket handling
- Integration setups connecting Atlassian tools with CI/CD or CRM systems
Core skills and tools
Strong candidates combine deep product knowledge with process thinking. Expect fluency in Jira administration, Confluence space management, Jira Query Language, ScriptRunner or Automation for Jira, and REST API integrations. Familiarity with Atlassian Cloud, Data Center licensing and app marketplace add-ons is common.
Specializations within the field
- Agile and Scrum setup for software teams
- IT service management with Jira Service Management
- Enterprise migrations and system consolidations
- App development on the Atlassian Marketplace
When companies bring in a freelancer
Teams often hire a freelance Atlassian expert during a migration project, a merger that forces tool consolidation, or a sudden need to scale Jira usage across new departments. A short, focused engagement avoids the cost of a permanent hire for work that has a clear start and end.
Working with clients in Germany
Many companies in Germany run regulated or engineering-heavy operations, from automotive to manufacturing, where structured processes and audit trails matter. Consultants often work remotely with occasional on-site workshops, and both German and English are commonly used depending on the client's internal language.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions? Here you can find further information about FRATCH
An Atlassian Consultant configures and maintains tools like Jira and Confluence, builds workflows, sets permission schemes and automates repetitive tasks. Much of the work involves talking to teams to understand their process before touching any settings.
A Jira Administrator usually handles day-to-day maintenance and user support within one company. An Atlassian Consultant takes on broader project work, including migrations, custom app configuration and cross-team rollouts, often across multiple clients.
Migrations, mergers and sudden platform expansions are short, well-defined projects that don't need a permanent headcount. A freelance Atlassian consultant can be brought in for the duration of the project and released once the system is stable.
Most configuration and scripting work happens remotely without issue. Companies in Germany sometimes ask for on-site workshops during kickoff or user training, especially in manufacturing or engineering firms with strict internal processes.
Look for hands-on experience with ScriptRunner, Automation for Jira, REST APIs and Atlassian Cloud migrations. Atlassian's own certifications, such as ACP credentials, are a useful but not mandatory signal of depth.
Some do. Consultants with development skills build plugins or apps for the Atlassian Marketplace using the Forge or Connect framework, though many focus purely on configuration and process design without writing app code.
Ask for examples of past migrations or workflow redesigns and how they measured success, such as reduced ticket handling time. A strong Jira consultant will also ask questions about your team's actual process before proposing a solution.
It depends on the client. Many companies in Germany run internal communication in English, especially in tech teams, but German fluency helps for workshops with non-technical stakeholders or legacy documentation.
The average hourly rate for Atlassian Consultants in Germany is 106 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 848 € based on an 8-hour working day.
