About the Team

The Analytics Platform team is responsible for Workday Prism Analytics, an industry-leading, comprehensive Data Management and Analytics platform that enables customers to unlock the highest value from their enterprise data and drive the best business outcomes. Our mission is to revolutionize how customers work with and interact with their data — making their experience more collaborative, interactive, and insight-driven.
We are at the forefront of Workday's data strategy, building products that span data integration, data preparation, data warehousing and analytics. In the year ahead, the team is focused on Built-on-Workday and Workday Data Cloud. The Built-on-Workday program enables partners to build data-driven apps on the Analytics Platform. The Workday Data Cloud is a transformative initiative that will enable zero-copy access of data in the Workday platform, fundamentally changing how enterprise data flows into Workday. We partner closely with engineering, design, data science, and partner product management teams across the organization, giving our team high visibility and broad cross-functional impact. If you are energized by shaping the future of enterprise analytics and helping customers become truly data-driven, this is the team for you.

About the Role

As a Senior Product Manager on the Workday Analytics Platform team, you will build capabilities for the Analytics platform to deliver Data Cloud and Prism in Built-on-Workday. You must be able to get into the technical details with engineers and data scientists as you discuss platform architecture. Understanding customer use cases and advocating for developer requirements in this capacity is key to providing rich end-to-end analytical capabilities.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Defining the vision and roadmap for Data Cloud and Prism's data processing capabilities, driving alignment and buy-in from key stakeholders across the organization

  • Partnering with design, engineering, data science, and other product managers to evolve Workday's analytics platform, with a focus on delivering intuitive, no-code ETL experiences for data engineers and business analysts

  • Diving deep into customer use cases to understand how they leverage the platform for meaningful insights, and identifying, specifying, and prioritizing features through direct input from customers, analysts, developers, and architects

  • Acting as the Product Owner in one or more scrum teams — setting the vision, writing and prioritizing user stories, grooming the backlog, and communicating progress to stakeholders regularly

  • Serving as the product champion externally by fostering a strong customer community and collaborating with Sales, Presales, Customer Success Management, and Product Marketing

  • Consistently managing multiple projects, meeting deadlines, and delivering results in a fast-paced environment

  • Lead the vision and roadmap for your area of the Workday analytics platform, driving buy-in from key stakeholders

  • Partner with other Product Managers across various pillars of Workday (Finance, Workforce) to identify functional and nonfunctional requirements with heavy focus on scale, performance and security

  • Act as the Product Owner in one or more scrum teams, setting the vision for the team, writing and prioritizing user stories, grooming the backlog, keeping the team focused, and communicating to stakeholders regularly.

  • Be the product champion externally, and passionate voice of the customer internally

  • Consistently execute – juggle multiple projects, meet deadlines, deliver results.

About You

Basic Qualifications:

  • 5-7 years of experience as a Product Manager delivering high-impact customer outcomes in SaaS, cloud, or enterprise software environments

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Other Qualifications:

  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Proven ability to work effectively with members from different teams — including engineering, design, data science, partner product management, sales, and customer success — to achieve shared goals, leveraging diverse perspectives and fostering a culture of mutual respect

  • Customer Empathy: Deep understanding of customer needs, pain points, and experiences, with a demonstrated ability to listen actively, understand the customer's perspective, and translate those insights into product decisions that improve satisfaction and loyalty

  • Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of data management, data platforms, data warehouse & analytics platforms. Strong architectural background is a plus. Must be able to speak the language of developer interfaces and APIs.

  • Strong understanding of design thinking and the product development process, with the ability to collaborate closely with designers and user researchers to build accessible, user-friendly experiences that prioritize both functionality and usability.

  • Effective verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to adapt your style to different audiences — from engineering teams discussing SQL-equivalents and machine learning algorithms to executive stakeholders and customers

  • Experience providing both out-of-the-box connectors and extensible frameworks that enable implementation partners and customers to bring their own data sources at scale

  • Ability to get into the technical details with engineers and data scientists when discussing data pipelines, statistical functions, and intelligent features, while keeping the broader product vision and customer value in focus

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.
