You will lead technical workstreams, advise C‑suite and technical stakeholders, and collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to shape how Workday AI is deployed at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Solution Design:
- Architect end‑to‑end AI solutions across the Workday ecosystem, including data flows, integration patterns, and technical controls that connect Native Agents, custom agents on the Workday Agent Platform, and Sana’s knowledge and content capabilities.
- Strategic Advisory:
- Act as a trusted technical advisor to C‑suite and senior technical leaders, translating AI architecture choices into clear business value, risk considerations, and long‑term digital transformation roadmaps.
- Technical Leadership:
- Lead technical delivery for AI workstreams, providing oversight for configuration, integrations, data preparation, privacy and security controls, and model‑related tuning within the Workday environment.
- Innovation & Feedback:
- Partner closely with Workday Product and Engineering teams to share real‑world insights from customer deployments, informing the evolution of the Agent Platform, AI tooling, and Sana integration capabilities.
- Ecosystem Integration:
- Design and validate patterns for how Workday AI interacts with third‑party systems and external LLMs, ensuring data integrity, security, and adherence to Workday’s Ethical AI principles.

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.
