Job description

Workday is looking for Business Development Representatives to join our expanding DACH team in Dublin, Ireland. We are looking for driven individuals who can proactively build relationships with prospects for Workday, working closely with our accounts executive team across EMEA to develop sales activity. This role provides excellent exposure working with other departments within Workday such as Sales, Marketing, Operations and others when required.

About The Role

In this role, you will apply your consultative selling skills to initiate long‑standing relationships with prospective customers and executive sponsors. Success relies on using effective selling strategies to position Workday as a viable alternative to legacy solutions, while educating the market on our technology and applications. You will help generate new business opportunities through strategic outbound calling and prospecting into enterprise companies.

What We Offer

• Intensive Training & Certification: Every teammate attends a new‑hire induction day and will undergo certifications during the role in addition to their ramp up.
• Fun & International Team: The team is made up of individuals from all over the world, forming a multicultural work environment and a very fun social scene that’s accommodating for all.
• Industry‑Leading Compensation & Benefits: Your competitive base salary & commission structure will be combined with our amazing Workday benefits.
• Career Development & Progression: Our Internal Career Days are designed to help you discover your next big opportunity within the company. Explore diverse roles, gain insights from "A Day in the Life" sessions, sharpen your skills with mock interviews, connect directly with hiring managers, and receive personalised interview coaching to confidently take your next step.

About You

Basic Qualifications

• Advanced language skills in English plus fluent German
• 1 year of experience in sales, sales development, recruitment, customer service, renewals, consulting or internships

Other Qualifications

• Salesforce knowledge is a plus
• Credibility & value proposition: the ability to articulate the value and potential of technology
• Candid communication & trust building: excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to build rapport quickly
• Business acumen: ability to absorb new concepts and showcase a passion for innovation in order to delight and inspire our prospect customers
• Accountability: demonstrate a highly motivated, tenacious, and detail‑oriented approach to work

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.
