About the Team

Workday’s global opportunity is huge. We need a dedicated Product Manager to identify where and how we win globally—then translate that insight into focused bets, coordinated roadmaps, and measurable outcomes. This role leads the product strategy for priority international markets, ensuring our offerings, localisations, partnerships, and integrations develop differentiated customer value and accelerate ARR growth.

About the Role

Market understanding & Product Alignment

Develop a deep, evidence‑based understanding of target markets (country/region + industry).
Identify country‑specific functional localisations (e.g., payroll, tax, reporting, compliance, language, accessibility, statutory processes) required for success and prioritise by revenue impact, risk, and effort.
Map the multifaceted needs of industry verticals (e.g., FSI, Retail & Hospitality, T&M) and where Workday’s product-market fit is strongest/weakest.
Maintain living market requirement documents (MRDs) and regional/vertical opportunity models.

Lead structured competitive analyses to understand how competitors win (product, pricing, localisation depth, partner ecosystems, services/implementation playbooks).
Define Workday’s value propositions by market and vertical; validate through win/loss, customer interviews, and third‑party insights.
Assess how our current product offering aligns to market requirements; document gaps, dependencies, and sequencing across HCM, Finance, Payroll and adjacent suites.
Create business cases and influence investment with a multidisciplinary, cross‑product view—ensuring global requirements are designed once and re‑used across regions when feasible.
Translate market problems into clear PRDs/CUJs with success criteria that reflect local regulations and customer workflows.

Partnerships & integrations

Map the partner landscape (ISVs, GSIs, local champions) and identify critical partners per market/vertical.
Define and prioritise integrations (APIs, connectors, adapters) needed to unlock sales and adoption; drive partner co‑sell and co‑build motions with clear value exchange.
Collaborate with the partnership team to structure multi‑year partnerships with measurable GTM impact.

GTM collaboration & sales enablement

Partner with Sales, Solutions Consulting, Competitive Intelligence, Marketing, Partners, and Pricing to arm field teams with proof points, playbooks, and return on investment narratives.
Capture and synthesise sales challenges (objections, localisation blockers, integration gaps, implementation friction) into product and partner roadmaps.
Support lighthouse deals and early adopter programs to validate hypotheses and compose repeatable wins.

Outcome measurement & learning

Define outcome‑based benchmarks for each investment; establish pre‑/post‑launch impact measurement (e.g., win rate, attach/penetration, cycle time, retention, NRR, ARR).
Run structured hypothesis → bet → measure → learn loops; publish post‑launch reviews and fold findings into the next wave of investments.

You’ll work closely with

GTM functions: Sales, SC, Marketing, Pricing, RevOps, Customer Success.
Competitive Intelligence & Market Research.
Alliances & Partner teams (ISVs, GSIs, local specialists) and the Partner Engineering group.
Product & Engineering across HCM, Finance, Payroll, Time, Platform/AI, and Integration Platform.
Legal/Compliance for statutory requirements; Professional Services for implementation feedback loops.

About You

6–10+ years in Product Management or adjacent (Strategy, Solutions, Alliances) in B2B SaaS; HCM/Finance/ERP domain experience strongly preferred.
Demonstrated success building for international markets: localisation strategy, regulatory/statuary features, and partner/integration ecosystems.
Strong analytical toolkit (market sizing, TAM/SAM/SOM, business casing, pricing/packaging inputs) and proficiency with experimentation and measurement.
Excellent discovery skills (customer, prospect, partner) and the ability to translate qualitative insights into clear product requirements.
Cross‑functional leadership: proven track record influencing without authority and aligning execs on where to bet.
Clear, concise communication—narratives, PRDs, roadmaps, and exec‑level readouts.
Fluency in a second language outside of English - German, French, Dutch, Spanish

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.
