About the Team

In 2024, Workday launched an Enterprise Data and Analytics (ED&A) team with a mission to transform and optimize the way Workday creates and shares trusted data to drive actionable insights and data-led innovation across the enterprise. The team has introduced a new, cloud-based technical stack, a data product methodology anchored in the principles of DataOps, an Active Data Governance methodology to manage the quality and discovery of data, and a series of modern analytics tools that facilitate discovery, analysis, visualization, machine learning, and AI. The team’s goal is to lead high-value cross‑functional data and analytics work and to support the broader Workday analytics community by establishing modern, common ways of working, facilitating training and communication, and creating secure data and analytics brokering capability across business units. As part of ED&A and enabling this strategy, the Enterprise Data Operations and Governance team drives the creation of policies, procedures, and operating models that improve the overall quality, reliability, and observability of data across Workday. This role is crucial in proactively monitoring and improving the health and availability of our data ecosystem.

• Agile Prioritization: Ability to adjust on the fly to new demands and manage multiple high‑priority data projects simultaneously.

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.
