This role is posted by Robert Half, a staffing firm, and is described as a contract/temporary placement — benefits language confirms a contract engagement, though the posting does not specify a fixed duration.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily a functional/technical systems consultant for a SaaS EPM platform (Workday Adaptive Planning), which sits closest to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211). It has some overlap with 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) given the specialized EPM/planning-platform focus.
The 4+ years requirement is stated specifically for Workday Adaptive Planning experience, which also serves as the overall role-level experience floor; it is captured in the overall years minimum accordingly.
Several Workday Adaptive Planning sub-skills (models, dimensions, levels, versions, calculated accounts, planning sheets, security) are listed as discrete configuration areas under the Required Qualifications section. They are consolidated into named skills reflecting the platform's functional areas rather than emitted as generic concepts.
Workday Adaptive Planning Certification is listed under Preferred Qualifications — it is a credential, not a technology skill, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Lawson ERP and Workday Financials appear together under Preferred Qualifications as 'Workday Financials and/or Lawson ERP,' so they are captured as a single preferred skill with an alternative.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
