About the Team

The Growth (GO) Implementation Strategy team focuses on building, optimizing, and scaling an AI driven deployment approach, so that Workday deployments are repeatable, high quality, and insight-driven across our ecosystem. Our mission is to enable our customers to adopt Workday products in the most effective and efficient manner to ensure lasting success.

About the Role

As a Principal Product Advisor, Financials, you are the primary architect of an AI driven Workday Financials deployment for our GO customers. You will define deployment workflows, configurations, automation, and AI tooling that significantly reduce the customer and consulting effort to deploy our products and increase customer satisfaction.
You will continuously assess deployment tool enhancements, optimize pre-configured content, and translate delivery learnings, escalations, and patterns into concrete improvements. You will also partner with engineering to build AI-driven tools that reduce deployment effort and improve quality. As a P5 Principal, you lead complex, cross-functional initiatives with high autonomy, partnering with senior leaders across Product, Services, and Sales.
Depending on the assigned pillar (Core Financials, Spend Management, or Revenue Management), you will provide:
Domain Strategy: Drive the end-to-end deployment approach and content for your pillar-whether that is Core Financial Management (General Ledger, Assets, Reporting/Analytics), Spend Management (Accounts Payable, Expenses, Procurement), or Revenue Management (Revenue Recognition, Customer Accounts, Contracts).
Cross-Pillar Foundation: Drive excellence in Banking and Settlement and ensure seamless integration across all financial workstreams.
Data and Reporting Excellence: Solve for complex reporting needs-including statutory, management, and operational reporting-by building scalable, tool-based solutions.
Deployment Automation: Identify patterns in implementation challenges and partner with engineering to build AI-driven tools that reduce deployment effort and improve quality.

Other Qualifications
Enterprise Software Deployment: Deep experience planning, configuring, and optimizing enterprise financial software deployments, including managing updates, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring alignment with existing infrastructure.
Stakeholder Management: Skilled at building and managing relationships with senior leaders across Product, Services, and Sales, ensuring alignment on deployment strategy and facilitating clear communication across groups with diverse needs and priorities.
Solutions Development: Experienced in designing and implementing strategies or systems that solve specific deployment challenges and improve operational efficiency, from optimizing pre-configured content to creating new automation workflows.
Consulting: Demonstrated ability to provide expert advice and solutions in Workday Financials or comparable ERP domains, including analyzing deployment issues, developing strategies, and implementing improvements that enhance delivery outcomes.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we're combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
