**ADP is hiring a Senior Scrum Master.

- Are you empathetic to client needs and inspired by transformation and impacting the lives of millions of people every day?
- Are you looking to join a dynamic, inclusive team environment with a culture of collaboration and belonging?
Well, this may be the role for you.
Ready to design what's next?
In this role, you will be the person who keeps our team on track and on time for new projects.
Working alongside 20 to 50 team members, you remove roadblocks and keep developers coding.
Whether it's coaching, cutting meetings short, or auditing the process - you'll do whatever it takes to keep the project moving.
No two days are the same.
You will work alongside a team of passionate, creative developers to brainstorm and plan our scrums on whiteboards, communicating with your team or communicating across other functions to avoid potential issues in the project plan.
While every day is fast-moving and unpredictable, one thing is sure: people skills are necessary for every aspect of this job.
To thrive in this role, you must understand the software development project lifecycle in an Agile environment have prior project management experience working in scrums or as a scrum master.
Ideally, you've managed a project from inception to production at an enterprise level.
Our best project managers show initiative, try new things and learn from their mistakes along the way.
PMP certification is not required.
You must be comfortable enough with code to decipher functions, and a technical coding background will help you be successful.
As part of our team, you'll find exciting challenges, get opportunities to grow your career, and develop solid friendships as we design what's next for ADP and the industry.
