Why we read it this way (8)
The title uses 'Lead' as a functional descriptor (Lead Consultant) rather than a seniority band, so advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified; the 8+ years and enterprise implementation leadership requirements support a Senior classification.
The role is classified as Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) given its techno-functional consulting nature — bridging business process configuration and technical integration work in Workday — rather than pure software development. 15-1299 is noted as a plausible alternative given the specialized ERP/HCM implementation focus.
ADP is listed as an integration target ('ADP integrations'), meaning hands-on experience connecting Workday to ADP is required, not standalone ADP administration.
Active Workday Certification is explicitly called 'preferred', so it is marked as a preferred skill.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Duration is 12 months, confirming a contract engagement.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Workday Reporting.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
