ABOUT THE ROLE
IMPORTANT TO NOTE (FROM MGR): If a candidate comes in the door with previous Atlassian JIRA skills to meet the requirements that will give them a leg up! However if a candidate does not have the full spectrum of experience they will be expected to learn. All the training is free online for Atlassian JIRA. BOX.com administration is niche and I am not expecting anyone to walk in with that skillset as the candidate will need to learn this platform and the associated ABC security procedures.
