Workday Grants Subject Matter Specialist (Staff Wage)

UVAFinance seeks applications for a Workday Grants Subject Matter Specialist. The Workday Grants Subject Matter Specialist is a wage (non-exempt) position supporting the OneUVA Workday project. This role brings deep, institutional knowledge of UVA's current Workday Grants configuration to a structured series of project workshops designed to evaluate the existing setup, surface pain points and operational challenges, and identify opportunities for improvement. The Specialist participates directly in these workshops as a grants subject matter expert, articulating how current configuration works in practice, where it falls short of user and operational needs, and what outcomes stakeholders are seeking. Between and following workshops, the Specialist works alongside the Workday Grants Senior Analyst to review recommendations emerging from workshop findings and to support the analysis, documentation, and implementation of approved changes. This position does not carry independent configuration authority; it serves as a critical knowledge bridge between the project team and the operational grants environment.
