Consultant

Join Ovoco as an Independent Consultant

If you were recently part of the Atlassian layoffs, we want to talk to you about building something together.

Ovoco is assembling a delivery team of independent consultants with deep Atlassian, ITSM, and configuration management expertise. You work as a 1099 consultant. You set your own rate. You choose the engagements that fit your skills and availability. Ovoco handles client relationships, contracts, and business development.

The Work

• Jira Data Center to Cloud migration planning and execution
• JSM Assets and CMDB implementation
• Atlassian-to-ServiceNow migrations for clients moving off the platform
• ITSM process design, change management, and service catalog buildout
• Federal compliance where Atlassian tools intersect with FedRAMP, NIST, and CMMC

We have open-source tooling you would use and help improve: cmdb-kit for CMDB implementation and migration-kit for platform migrations. These are in production on real engagements.

How It Works

This is not a staffing agency arrangement. You are part of a small team that works together on engagements we win as a firm. Your name goes on the delivery. Your expertise shapes how we solve problems. As we grow the team and win contracts, there is a path to longer-term engagement structures for those who want them.

Who We Are Looking For

• JSM administrators and consultants who have built service desks, asset schemas, and automation rules
• Jira and Confluence administrators who have managed large Data Center deployments
• Atlassian solution architects who have designed cross-product workflows
• ITSM consultants who have implemented ITIL processes on Atlassian platforms
• ServiceNow, BMC, or Ivanti consultants interested in cross-platform migration work
• Anyone with federal or DOD experience running Atlassian tools in regulated environments

Clearances are a plus but not required. Remote work is the default.

Why Now

Atlassian Data Center is ending. No new subscriptions after March 2026, no renewals after 2028, read-only by 2029. Every federal agency and enterprise running Jira DC or Confluence DC needs a migration plan. Most of them do not have one yet. That talent pool just got larger, and the demand has not gone anywhere.
