The core team consists of one other Senior Systems Analyst and two Systems Analysts based in New Zealand.

  • Managing system environments, workflows, schemes, and automations within the Atlassian platform

  • You will bring strong, hands-on experience in business requirements gathering and solution delivery, ideally within Agile delivery teams
  • You will demonstrate strong analytical, evaluative, and problem-solving skills, translating objectives into clear, actionable requirements and success measures
  • You will be confident in engaging with and managing senior stakeholders and vendors, leading through influence and managing priorities collaboratively
  • You will have proven capability in mentoring and leadership, helping to foster a collaborative and customer-centric culture
