Job description

Workday is seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable Communications Specialist to join our growing EMEA Communications team. This is a unique, integrated role designed for a proactive storyteller with 1-2 years of experience who is ready to operate at the heart of a global technology leader. You will act as a central engine for our pan-EMEA campaigns, creating high-impact content toolkits that bridge internal, external, and executive communications. This is a dual-focus role: while 50% of your time will be dedicated to driving integrated EMEA-wide initiatives and ensuring global alignment, the remaining 50% will be focused on the strategic launch and growth of the META (Middle East, Turkey, and Africa) region. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, possesses a 'global mindset,' and can translate complex business goals into creative content that inspires. You will work closely with the Pan-EMEA Comks Senior Manager and report directly to the Head of Corporate Communications, EMEA.

Responsibilities

• Integrated Campaign Development: Support the creation and execution of pan-EMEA integrated campaigns. Develop comprehensive "toolkits" (press materials, internal talking points, social assets, etc.) that can be localized by regional teams.
• META Region Launch (50% Focus): Act as a key project coordinator for the launch of the META region. Support localized media relations, launch events, and executive visibility programmes tailored to these emerging markets.
• Global & Regional Alignment: Serve as a bridge between the EMEA and US stakeholders, ensuring all content is brand‑aligned while remaining culturally relevant for local audiences.
• Executive Communications Support: Draft social media content (LinkedIn) related to campaigns.
• Integrated Mindset: Understanding of how external news, internal engagement, and executive advocacy work together to build a brand.

Qualifications and Skills

• 1-2 years of experience in corporate communications, PR, or integrated marketing (agency or in‑house).
• Exceptional Writing Skills: Ability to adapt tone of voice for different channels (e.g., formal executive briefings vs. engaging internal Slack posts).
• Operational Excellence: Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, meeting tight deadlines across different time zones.
• Content Toolkit Experience: Experience building or using communication toolkits to scale campaigns across multiple countries.
• Global Curiosity: An interest in the META region and the nuances of launching a brand in new, diverse markets.
• Design Lite: Proficiency in Google Slides and basic visual design tools (e.g., Canva or Adobe Express) to make content "pop".
• Tech Savvy: A strong interest in new technologies and the SaaS industry more widely.

Flex 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.
