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 be responsible for the following:

- Conduct discovery sessions
- Identify configuration gaps
- Improve reporting and queries
- Update documentation and job aids
- 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.


If you would like to learn more, please reach out to ELite Technical.
