About the Team
The Global Contract Intelligence & Extended Workforce Center of Excellence (CoE) is a specialized team within Workday's Sales organization, made up of deep experts with focused skill sets who drive growth with integrity - and have fun doing it. Our CoE Product Specialists bring deep expertise in Workday's CLM and Document Intelligence solutions (Evisort), partnering with Account Executives to sell into both net new and customer base accounts across the globe.
What makes this team unique is the scope and ambition of its mission.

With international groundwork already laid, the team is poised for full-stride global momentum across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.

• Attracting, hiring, onboarding, and retaining top sales talent at the Account Executive and Regional Sales Director levels, building a global bench that is ramped and ready to perform
• Providing strategic plan clarity and communication top-to-bottom so the team has a unified map - everyone knows where the organization is heading and how to get there
• Supporting the sales team in prospect meetings, coordinating with the broader sales supply chain, and removing internal roadblocks so your Regional Sales Directors have the autonomy and space to lead their territories
• Building a culture of accountability, transparency, and empowerment grounded in the four pillars of the CoE, keeping the team focused on the work that moves the business forward
• Serving as a visionary leader who articulates a compelling long-term direction, inspires others to action, and demonstrates the value of continued training and development through enforcement of the Workday Way

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.
