Through structured and informal training, you will act as the product owner for components that cater to the Financial Aid compliance requirements of our clients.

Your role will involve translating business needs into functional specifications to fulfill the requirements of Workday customers, collaborating closely with a development team to design and implement these capabilities.

Utilizing agile development methodologies, you will represent product management and your customers to ensure the successful delivery of the intended product. You will become the internal subject matter expert and consultant for your product, gaining insights across the suite of Workday Student applications through teamwork and cross-team collaboration.

This role may qualify for the Workday Bonus Plan or a role-specific commission/bonus, in addition to annual refresh stock grants. Recruiters will provide more details during the hiring process.

Each candidate's compensation offer will be determined based on multiple factors, including but not limited to geography, experience, skills, job responsibilities, and business needs.


Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we are blending the best of both worlds: in-person collaboration and remote work. This approach allows our teams to strengthen connections, foster a strong community, and perform at their best.

We recognize that flexibility can take many forms, so instead of mandating a specific number of in-office days each week, we aim to 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 will have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that accommodates your business, team, and personal needs while being intentional about maximizing the time spent together.

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.
