The Enterprise Specialized Sales team at Workday helps the company to continue to grow by balancing integrity and innovation, ensuring Workmates have the environment to bring their best self, and get better by pushing and developing themselves and the Workmates around them.

About the Role

The Global Payroll Center of Excellence (CoE) Specialist is a tenured product specialist seller who acts as a critical advisor on high-value deals for the new Workday GO Global Payroll Motions. Leveraging deep expertise in global payroll, this role supports both Customer Base and Net New Core Account Executives (AEs) to differentiate and sell Workday's Global Payroll solution. You will be instrumental in the Discovery & Technical Evaluation stage of the sales process and handle complex payroll inquiries.

About You

  • Deal Execution & Technical Expertise: Qualify the opportunity fit and complexity. Show up for the moments that matter throughout the sales process.
  • Strategic Discovery: You lead first-level technical discovery to qualify the "Ideal Customer Profile." You determine the path-standard Global Payroll or the expanded EOR/Contractor suite-to maximize deal size and customer ROI.
  • Evangelism & Enablement: Serve as the Global Payroll Subject Matter Expert (SME), enabling sales teams on the solution's technical aspects, and developing essential sales collateral and playbooks.
  • Strategy: Advise Core Account Executives (AEs) on deal execution strategy using a solution-based selling approach
  • Product Feedback: Provide commercially-minded, "boots on the ground" feedback to Product teams to ensure our roadmap stays ahead of the competition.

Basic Qualifications
  • 5+ years of related experience in Global Payroll Sales or Pre-Sales Solution Consulting for Payroll solutions or Implementation of Global Payroll solutions, and/or other consulting experience with technical understanding of global payroll compliance and localization requirements
  • Fluency in French, Spanish or German a plus

Other Qualifications
  • Global Payroll Expertise: Proven consultancy and/or sales experience with global payroll processes and Workday systems.
  • HRIS/Workforce Knowledge: Excellent understanding of distributed workforce solutions and international HRIS, with deep knowledge of Global Payroll and HRIS highly desirable.
  • Sales Knowledge: A very good understanding of sales cycles and sales processes, coupled with a strong sales acumen with previous prospecting experience
  • Technical Acumen: Strong technical aptitude, with the ability to quickly learn, understand, demonstrate, and analyze software solutions.
  • Consultative Skills: Demonstrated ability to employ consultative techniques to understand client needs, build rapport, and provide insightful recommendations.
  • Excellent communication skills with a flair for storytelling to convey complex concepts in a clear and compelling manner.

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.

At Workday, we are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive hiring experience where all candidates can fully demonstrate their skills. If you require assistance or an accommodation at any point, please email View email address on jobs2careers.com .

Are you being referred to one of our roles? If so, ask your connection at Workday about our Employee Referral process!

At Workday, we value our candidates' privacy and data security. Workday will never ask candidates to apply to jobs through websites that are not Workday Careers.

Please be aware of sites that may ask for you to input your data in connection with a job posting that appears to be from Workday but is not.

In addition, Workday will never ask candidates to pay a recruiting fee, or pay for consulting or coaching services, in order to apply for a job at Workday.
