We're obsessed with making hard work pay off, for our people, our customers, and the world around us. As a Fortune 500 company and a leading AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, we're shaping the future of work so teams can reach their potential and focus on what matters most. The minute you join, you'll feel it. Not just in the products we build, but in how we show up for each other. Our culture is rooted in integrity, empathy, and shared enthusiasm. We're in this together, tackling big challenges with bold ideas and genuine care. We look for curious minds and courageous collaborators who bring sun-drenched optimism and drive. Whether you're building smarter solutions, supporting customers, or creating a space where everyone belongs, you'll do meaningful work with Workmates who've got your back. In return, we'll give you the trust to take risks, the tools to grow, the skills to develop and the support of a company invested in you for the long haul. So, if you want to inspire a brighter work day for everyone, including yourself, you've found a match in Workday, and we hope to be a match for you too.

About the Team
Workmates are driven by outcomes that matter. We win with integrity, hold ourselves accountable, and support one another as we solve complex problems at scale. This mindset is especially critical in the federal ecosystem, where trust, consistency, and execution aren't optional-they're mission-critical.The Enterprise Sales team at Workday Government plays a central role in advancing federal modernization efforts. Our sellers partner closely with U.S. federal agencies and large-growth global federal contractors to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, procurement cycles, and rigorous security and compliance standards-all while delivering real, measurable value.

About the Role

Step into a brand-new, high-impact role within Workday Federal Presales. We are seeking a highly experienced HCM Solution Consultant who thrives at the intersection of high-level strategy and technical execution.

Enterprise Architect & Strategic Advisor role is mission-critical. Unlike traditional sales engineering, this position is built on the foundation of long-term partnership and mission impact. You won't just be demonstrating software-you will serve as the primary architect of transformation.

By taking a dual-lens approach, you will blend the broad, organizational vision of an Enterprise Architect with the intricate, "how-to" expertise of an HCM and Payroll Solution Consultant.

What You'll Do
  • Drive Discovery: Lead workshops with prospective Federal Contractors and Agencies to uncover pain points, define business challenges, and develop aligned strategic solutions.
  • Architect Solutions: Translate complex ERP requirements into cohesive, mission-ready platform, HCM, and Payroll strategies.
  • Deliver High-Impact Demonstrations: Provide expert technical overviews and deep-dive product demonstrations that highlight the unique value of the Workday platform.
  • Act as a Trusted Advisor: Serve as an industry subject matter expert, guiding prospects from initial market-level presentations through executive-level closing meetings.
  • Accelerate the Sales Cycle: Partner with the extended sales team to qualify prospects, define demonstration criteria, build Proof of Concepts (POCs), and execute sales closure plans.
  • Lead RFx Responses: Take an active role in crafting comprehensive and compelling responses to RFIs and RFPs.
  • Be a Workday Ambassador: Support cross-functional sales, marketing, and channel objectives by presenting at webinars, customer forums, industry conferences, and tradeshows.

What You'll Bring
  • Deep expertise as a Solution Consultant specializing in HCM and Payroll.
  • Exceptional executive presence with polished, persuasive presentation techniques.
  • Ability to travel up to 50%.

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.

Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
