Why we read it this way (8)
The '3 years' minimum is explicitly scoped to experience as a Lead Workday HCM Consultant within a Workday partner environment — it is a role-level gate, not a per-technology figure, so it is captured as the overall experience minimum.
Active Workday certification with implementer access is a hard gate for Workday HCM Core plus at least one additional module. The additional module requirement is represented as a single preferred-style skill with the named alternatives, since only one of the listed modules needs to be certified — the specific module is interchangeable.
Workday Launch certification is listed as a hard requirement ('ability to obtain and maintain required Workday Launch certification'), meaning candidates must be able to obtain it; it is treated as a gate.
Experience supporting higher education projects is explicitly called 'preferred' in the requirements section.
The posting is placed via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; no compensation figures are disclosed beyond 'competitive compensation.'
The title says 'Principal Consultant' but the actual scope — 3-year minimum, leading individual client engagements with limited supervision — aligns with a Senior-level individual contributor rather than a true org-wide Principal. Advertised seniority reflects the title; assessed seniority reflects the requirements.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Workday Reporting.
