About the Role

As a Principal Product Advisor, Financials, you are the primary architect of an AI driven Workday Financials deployment for our GO customers.

Depending on the assigned pillar (Core Financials, Spend Management, or Revenue Management), you will provide: Domain Strategy: Drive the end-to-end deployment approach and content for your pillar—whether that is Core Financial Management (General Ledger, Assets, Reporting/Analytics), Spend Management (Accounts Payable, Expenses, Procurement), or Revenue Management (Revenue Recognition, Customer Accounts, Contracts). Cross-Pillar Foundation: Drive excellence in Banking and Settlement and ensure seamless integration across all financial workstreams. Data and Reporting Excellence: Solve for complex reporting needs—including statutory, management, and operational reporting—by building scalable, tool-based solutions.
