About the Role

My best client in Madison needs a Senior Scrum Master to help a team learn how to push back on story pointing and product leadership when it comes to their teams’ workload. This role requires a Scrum Master with excellent soft skills who knows how to read a room and teach very technical minded teams how to progressively push back in the right way.
Data exposure would be great, but I really just need a Senior-Level Scrum Master who has experience with digital solutions.
I’m very open to referrals, too, and can pay a $500 referral bonus if you send anyone my way that gets the role!
