This leader guides internal product and development, as well as partners across field services and GPO to reimagine how Workday delivers, stores, and migrates configuration content across tenants. This team plays a pivotal role in enabling Workday’s vision to make it easy to buy, deploy, and own our products.

About the Role

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

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. Operate as a single point of accountability, with clear ownership of strategy, delivery, and 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.
