• Drive Strategic Value: Effectively position the value of Workday’s deployment methodology, moving the conversation beyond technical setup to business transformation, AI-driven efficiency, and data insights.
• Evangelize Innovation: Act as the subject matter expert on how Workday solutions can solve unique business problems, distinguishing our platform from legacy competitors.
• Consultative Discovery: Conduct services discovery sessions focused on business outcomes, change readiness, and strategic goals rather than just functional requirements.

• Commercial Execution: Lead, negotiate, and close Professional Services Agreements, Statements of Work, and other contractual documentation with a focus on value-based outcomes.
