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 where the consultant will be responsible for conducting discovery sessions, identifying configuration gaps, improving reporting and queries, updating documentation and job aids, and delivering virtual role-based training to staff.
