Why we read it this way (6)
The role is explicitly time-limited to the duration of a Workday ERP migration project, though it may convert to regular employment.
The minimum qualification accepts multiple education/experience combinations in lieu of a specific degree — no single degree is hard-required.
JIRA is the only technology mentioned in the required Skills and Knowledge section; all other named tools (Workday, Boomi, Power BI, Python, etc.) appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.
The SOC classification is a close call: the role blends integration development (15-1252) with systems/business analysis work (15-1211); 15-1252 was chosen because building and maintaining Workday integrations is the primary deliverable.
The salary range reflects the posted minimum ($68,500) and midpoint ($89,100); no maximum was stated.
Posting is for a temporary engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
