Our client, a Professional Services company, is seeking a PeopleSoft Grants SME Consultant. The position exists because multiple state agencies are using
PeopleSoft Grants inconsistently - each operating in its own way - and DFA needs an expert who can step in, assess
the current environment, and drive standardization across agencies.
This is a hands-on engagement. The consultant will conduct discovery sessions, identify configuration gaps, improve
reporting and queries, update documentation and job aids, and deliver virtual role-based training to staff. Given high
user turnover across agencies, the ability to build repeatable, durable training content is as important as the technical
expertise.

Required Experience:

- Experience conducting functional discovery and documenting current-state processes
- Experience configuring and supporting PeopleSoft Grants in a live, operating environment
- Experience working and defining Grants, Project Costing, Billing, and AR processes
- Experience improving reporting, queries, and operational controls for grants processing
- Experience creating end-user job aids and training materials (not just delivering training)
- Experience delivering virtual, role-based user training
- Demonstrated ability to enter an unfamiliar environment and produce tangible deliverables within 30-60 days
- Experience supporting high-turnover user populations and building
