Description

ADP is hiring a Lead Technical Project Manager

Are you passionate about analyzing business challenges and how we can solve them by designing the right technical solutions?
Are you a team leader who is looking for new challenges to grow and learn while leading your team through a major transformation?

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 engineers building. 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 hardware and software 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 preferred. You must be comfortable enough with infrastructure technologies and a technical 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.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Here's what you can expect on a typical day:

You'll start each day coordinating activities with infrastructure engineers, working with a team to understand responsibilities, identify issues, and communicate coding priorities.
You're the point of contact for the project. You'll share information with your teammates, mark milestones, and provide metrics and status updates to product owners and project sponsors.
As a project manager, you are very organized, and you keep everyone on task. Is a meeting going offtopic? You'll pull the team back to the agenda. Scope creeping? You'll stay on top of the schedule, remove barriers, identify dependencies, and mitigate risks.

-
Variety of tasks. There is no typical day. You could coach a teammate, deliver a status update to executives in other departments, or make sure we have deployed our resources in the best possible way. You will manage many competing priorities, so a fast pace should not scare you. You pride yourself on having flexibility and agility and can change directions without a second thought.
-
Servant Leadership. Your job is to help everyone else work better. What tasks or issues can you handle so your development team can keep working? What barriers can you remove?

You have 8+ years of experience in relevant skills gained and developed in the same or similar role.

TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE:

You'll have a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent
8+ years of technical project management experience
Understanding of hardware and software project lifecycles
Experience working in an Agile environment
Experience working in Scrum teams or as a Scrum Master
Experience managing a project from inception to production at an enterprise level

YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN:

Deliver at epic scale. We deliver real user outcomes using strong judgment and good instincts. We're obsessed with the art of achieving simplicity with a focus on client happiness and productivity.

-
Be surrounded by curious learners. We align ourselves with other smart people in an environment where we grow and elevate one another to the next level. We encourage our associates to listen, stay agile, and learn from mistakes.
-

-
Give back to others. Always do the right thing for our clients and our community and humbly give back to the community where we live and work. Support our associates in times of need through ADP's Philanthropic Foundation.
