Temporary Scrum Master Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Job Title: Senior Scrum Master (Enterprise ERP Transformation)
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Scrum Master to lead the delivery of a multi-year, enterprise-wide digital transformation. In this role, you will be the "bridge" between an Agile development culture and a structured, traditional enterprise environment. You are not just facilitating stand-ups; you are navigating the tension between sprint-based delivery and the rigid milestones, stage-gates, and data-migration dependencies that characterize complex, large-scale ERP implementations.
This role is for a servant leader who can guide cross-functional teams (functional, technical, and business) through the complexity of modernizing core enterprise systems. If you thrive in high-stakes environments where Agile delivery meets enterprise-level governance, this is an opportunity to make a massive impact.
Key Responsibilities
Agile Delivery & Governance
• Servant Leadership: Act as a Scrum Master for 1-2 cross-functional teams. Facilitate all standard ceremonies (Stand-ups, Planning, Reviews, Retrospectives) with a focus on empirical delivery and continuous improvement.
• Hybrid Governance: Successfully navigate the balance between Agile velocity and the requirements of a traditional PMO (stage-gates, RAID logs, formal project reporting).
• Cross-Stream Integration: Coordinate dependencies, blockers, and risks across various ERP workstreams. Ensure your team's delivery is synchronized with data migration, testing, and cutover workstreams.
Backlog & Planning
• Backlog Orchestration: Collaborate with Product Owners and Business Analysts to maintain a prioritized, "ready-for-dev" backlog. Facilitate story refinement and sizing for functional enhancements and technical configuration.
• Scaled Agile Support: Participate in "Agile at Scale" ceremonies (e.g., PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, System Demos). Partner with Release Train Engineers and Solution Architects to align team deliveries with program increments.
Reporting & Metrics
• Performance Visibility: Manage team progress via Jira (or equivalent). Maintain dashboards that provide transparency on velocity, burndown, and team health, ensuring stakeholders have a real-time view of progress.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
• Experience Baseline: Minimum of five (5) years of experience as a Scrum Master in enterprise-scale Agile environments.
• ERP Literacy: Proven experience supporting major ERP implementations (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Workday). You must understand the unique constraints of an ERP project (data-heavy, configuration-driven, inter-dependent).
• Methodology Mastery: Strong understanding of Agile (Scrum, Kanban) and the nuances of Hybrid-Agile delivery models.
• Scaling Expertise: Experience in scaled Agile frameworks (e.g., SAFe) and managing dependencies between multiple teams.
• Technical Communication: Excellent facilitation and conflict-resolution skills. You must be able to bridge the gap between functional business teams and technical developers.
Preferred Attributes
• Experience with ERP-specific implementation methodologies (e.g., SAP Activate or similar stage-gate frameworks).
• High proficiency in Jira and Confluence.
• A track record of facilitating difficult conversations across organizational silos.
