PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Student Financials (PS CS SF) Lead Functional Consultant

Our Higher Education practice at Sierra-Cedar is seeking a motivated and experienced PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Student Financials (PS CS SF) Lead Functional Consultant. This is a hands-on functional role implementing one of the core financial systems built for the full student life cycle that higher ed institutions rely on every day for admissions, recruiting, academic records and financials.

Where You Might Be Coming From

Our consultants may have a consulting, implementation, or software background at another services firm, an Oracle partner, or Oracle itself. Many of our strongest Student Financials consultants didn’t start out in consulting at all. You might be working inside a college or university today in the Bursar’s or Student Accounts office (as a bursar, a student accounts director or manager, or a cashiering, billing, or collections lead), in a Controller’s or business office handling student receivables and reconciliation, or as the campus functional or business systems analyst who configures and supports the Student Financials module. If you understand how a student financials operation runs day to day: tuition and fee assessment, billing, payment plans, refunds, third-party and sponsor contracts, and the reconciliation back to the general ledger and you’ve worked hands-on in or alongside PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, we’d like to hear from you.

Ø Required
