Last position:
Technical Project Management at CHG Meridian AG
- CHG Meridian AG is a financial company focused on leasing in the areas of IT technology, logistics and medical technology and is regulated by BaFin. One part of the company is Return to Remarketing, where devices delivered to the technology center (notebooks, smartphones, tablets, etc.) are prepared for resale. The project I supported was responsible for enabling damage assessment of returned lease devices, documenting them visually in the form of pictures, enabling invoicing for the customer, and making the pictures available via the in-house customer platform. This was achieved through a combination of in-house development within the internal development department and the use of SaaS products. The second project was the transition of SaaS tendering software, purchased by the business unit, into the operations of the CHG IT department. Evaluation of security questions in relation to BaFin requirements, development of an authorization concept, implementation of single sign-on, documentation of the application in the CHG systems (CMDB, iKnow, etc.) and handover into operations.

About the technology
Jira and Confluence
Atlassian is the toolset many teams use to plan work, track issues, document decisions, and keep delivery visible. In practice, that often means Jira for boards and workflows, Confluence for shared knowledge, and linked spaces that keep projects aligned.
What experts deliver
- Jira projects, issue types, and workflow design
- Confluence spaces, page structures, and templates
- Jira Service Management setup for support teams
- Bitbucket links, permissions, and release flow support
- Cleaner reporting for product and operations teams
When to bring in freelance help
Companies usually need outside Atlassian expertise when an instance has grown messy, teams disagree on process, or a migration needs careful planning. Freelancers help during rollouts, cleanup work, permission resets, and changes across Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management.
Skills that matter
Strong Atlassian specialists understand workflows, schemes, permissions, project structures, and naming rules. They also know how Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and service desks connect, so they can improve the setup without breaking daily work.
Quality signs
Look for clear thinking, not just tool knowledge. Good professionals ask how teams actually work, then shape fields, boards, spaces, and automations around that reality.
- They explain trade-offs in plain language
- They keep configurations simple enough to maintain
- They document changes for admins and users
- They reduce noise in boards, spaces, and queues
Essen delivery needs
In Essen, many teams want support that fits both local office work and remote collaboration across Germany. Atlassian experts can work on site when process workshops help, or remotely when the task is configuration, migration, or documentation.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Atlassian — answered in short.
Atlassian is used to organize work, track requests, and keep shared knowledge in one connected toolset. Teams often rely on Jira for delivery tracking, Confluence for documentation, and Jira Service Management for internal or customer support processes.
Most people mean Atlassian as the vendor ecosystem, not just one product. The usual tools are Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, and sometimes Bitbucket or Trello, depending on how the team works.
Jira is often chosen when teams need detailed workflows, custom fields, and strong traceability across delivery. It can be more structured than lighter task tools, which helps when several teams, approvals, or support queues need to stay aligned.
A strong Atlassian specialist usually understands process design, information structure, permission models, and basic integration work. Knowledge of service management, release flow, reporting, and user training is also useful because the tools work best when setup and process fit together.
A small cleanup may only need a focused specialist who can fix workflows, spaces, or permissions. A migration, enterprise rollout, or service desk redesign needs broader Atlassian experience because the impact reaches many teams and connected tools.
Many Atlassian tasks can be done remotely, especially configuration, documentation, and migration planning. On-site time in Essen can help when workshops, stakeholder alignment, or process mapping need fast discussion with local teams.
A good Atlassian freelancer listens to how people actually work before changing anything. They keep setups understandable, avoid unnecessary complexity, and leave clear documentation so the instance stays maintainable after the project ends.
Jira Service Management is useful when requests, incidents, or internal support need a clear intake and queue structure. It works well when teams want consistent handling, measurable handoffs, and a process that is easier to manage than email alone.
