Barbaricum is seeking a Jira Reporting & Analytics Lead for the anticipated U.S. Army Capability Program Executive for Simulation, Training, Test and Threat (CPE ST3). The U.S. Army CPE ST3 sustains a portfolio of more than 370 simulation, training, testing, and threat products fielded at over 400 locations worldwide, supporting U.S. and Allied warfighters’ combat readiness, interoperability, and multi-domain operational effectiveness — with growth into areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber and information warfare, robotics and autonomous systems, directed energy, and hypersonics. As the Jira Reporting & Analytics Lead, you will own the metrics, dashboards, and data storytelling that make CPE ST3’s Agile transformation visible and defensible — first in Barbaricum’s Phase II live Jira technical demonstration (anticipated late October 2026), then in the operational environment after award. This is not a traditional Jira administrator role. You will build the role-based, multi-tier dashboards that give executive (CPE), program (PM/PL, PdM/PdL), and project-level leaders instant visibility into sprint velocity, cycle time, capacity utilization, and flow — eliminating manual data calls — and you will analyze the Government-provided baseline data to recommend concrete, data-driven improvements to how APS work is managed.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Design and build advanced Jira reports and role-based dashboards for executive, portfolio, and team tiers, tailored to CPE, PM/PL, and PdM/PdL audiences
Author and optimize JQL to surface the right data for each dashboard and audience
Develop and track flow and delivery analytics: capacity utilization, velocity, cycle time, throughput, and blockers
Analyze the Government-provided baseline data set and develop data-driven approaches and recommendations that improve APS delivery outcomes (supporting the three recommended approaches evaluated in the Jira demonstration)
Design clear data visualizations that communicate actionable status at a glance
Stand up and maintain the live Agile Dashboard (CDRL A003) within 30 days of contract award, providing the Government real-time, unfettered access to the tool, dashboard, and data, and incorporating Government feedback each sprint
Integrate Jira reporting with Power BI and Confluence to extend and publish metrics
Present metrics and findings to senior Government leadership and translate them into process improvements
Support the live demonstration by producing and driving the dashboards used to respond to scenario injects
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Active Secret clearance
Bachelor’s degree in a related or quantitative field, or equivalent experience
6+ years building advanced Jira reporting and dashboards in an enterprise environment
Expert-level JQL
Demonstrated experience developing executive-, portfolio-, and team-level Agile metrics
Hands-on experience with capacity-utilization, velocity, cycle-time, and flow analytics
Dashboard and data-visualization design skills, including role-based dashboards for executives and program managers
Experience delivering and operating live, always-on operational dashboards with direct stakeholder access to the underlying tool and data — not static or periodic reports
Ability to analyze delivery data and recommend actionable process improvements
Available to support the anticipated Phase II Jira technical demonstration (~late October 2026) and post-award operations
Experience presenting metrics to senior leadership; strong communication skills, able to support a live customer demonstration
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
TS/SCI Clearance
Power BI development experience and Jira–Power BI integration
Confluence integration and authoring experience
Atlassian certification(s)
Experience supporting federal or large enterprise organizations
Prior DoD/Army acquisition or simulation, training, and test environment experience
