About the Role

Workday is looking for a GTM AI Strategist with deep AI and Planning expertise to join our business unit. Your mission is to transform cutting-edge AI capabilities, including LLMs, predictive modeling, and orchestration technology into tangible business value for our customers.

As an architect of our AI narrative, you will act as a visionary bridge between technical AI teams and the C-Suite. You will not only provide the strategic vision needed to close complex deals but also innovate on AI-First demonstrations that move beyond basic features to show automated, multi-step planning workflows. You will also capture feedback from early adopters to influence the product roadmap.

Responsibilities include:

• Strategy & Product Alignment: Develop and execute comprehensive GTM strategies for AI across all planning products to ensure market differentiation.

• Sales Excellence: Act as the AI Subject Matter Expert (SME) during active sales cycles to resolve complex technical and strategic questions.

• Demo Innovation: Collaborate with Solution Engineering to build "AI-First" prescriptive demonstrations that showcase integrated, visionary workflows.

• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Serve as the bridge to Workday AI teams outside the Planning BU, translating emerging technologies into relevant planning use cases.

• Customer Advocacy: Partner with early-adopter customers to co-innovate and feed insights back to Product teams to refine offerings.

• Advanced Use Case Innovation: Innovate on AI orchestration capabilities to automate multi-step planning processes and create seamless user experiences.

• Technical Curiosity: Proactively learn and apply LLMs, predictive modeling, and orchestration layers to the Adaptive Planning ecosystem.

• Field Enablement: Lead and coordinate enablement efforts for Sales to properly position our AI narrative.

About You

Basic Qualifications:

• Experience: 10+ years in GTM Strategy, Solution Consulting, or Product Marketing, specifically within the SaaS EPM (Enterprise Performance Planning) or AI space.

• Communication: A "storyteller" mindset with the ability to make complex, technical AI concepts compelling to C-Suite executives.

Other Qualifications:

• Collaborative Spirit: Proven ability to influence without authority across Product, Sales, and Engineering teams.

• Technical Ecosystems: Experience with Workday or similar enterprise planning ecosystems is a significant plus.

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in a related field or equivalent work experience.

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.
