Someone with the correct functional module mix:

1. Workday Financial Management — must have.
2. Workday Procurement / Procure-to-Pay — must have.
3. Workday Grants Management — highly important and likely the differentiator.
4. Post-production support / ticket triage — must have.
5. Client-facing communication and documentation — must have.
6. Advanced integrations, Studio, EIBs, APIs — preferred only if the client confirms this need.
