• Lead the Content & Tenant Build domain including architecture, development and operations across content creation, storage, orchestration, and migration capabilities used throughout the deployment lifecycle.

• Partner closely across P&T, Partners (GPO) and Customer Experience (CX) to simplify how customers and partners configure and deploy Workday solutions.

• Guide engineering investments across full-stack components, from backend services and orchestration layers to developer tooling and APIs, enabling content-driven deployments and automation.

• Partner across P&T, CX, and Go-To-Market organizations to ensure alignment on deployment strategy and the flawless hand-off between product readiness, sales, and customer success.

• Measure and drive impact through quantifiable improvements in deployment velocity, adoption rates, and cost of ownership.

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.
