As a Senior Product Advisor on the Developer Platform Product Enablement team, you will serve as a bridge between product and the diverse groups that build on the Workday platform. You will play an important role in ensuring that developers, partners, and internal teams have the technical knowledge, resources, and enablement they need to succeed, especially as the ecosystem shifts toward agentic solutions and AI-driven development workflows.
In this role, you will be responsible for:
Enabling Forward Deployed Engineers and other front-line roles on both existing and emerging Developer Platform capabilities, with a focus on the newest AI features so they can position and solution the platform effectively with Workday's most strategic customers.
Supporting and contributing to Early Adopter programs for emerging product features across Developer Platform, AI Platform, and Product Development Engineering, helping ensure EA programs are delivered effectively, products are thoroughly tested in real-world customer environments, and constructive feedback is curated for product teams prior to general availability.
Ensuring that EA participants receive the enablement and support necessary to use and test EA products, driving positive outcomes that include successful testing, actionable product feedback, and customer success stories for marketing use at launch.
Serving as a key contributor to the feedback loop between the field and product by gathering, contextualizing, and translating customer and developer feedback into insights that resonate with Product Managers and engineers, helping to shape product prioritization and drive meaningful improvements to the developer experience.
Helping the developer community understand how to bring together agents, agentic apps, integrations, and AI tooling to build solutions faster, guiding them through the shift from a closed-wall approach to an open, flexible development model while championing responsible AI usage.
Building and maintaining deep expertise across the developer platform and its features and capabilities.

7+ years of related work experience in technical enablement, developer advocacy, solutions engineering, product consulting, or a related field within an enterprise software or SaaS environment.
Other Qualifications:

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.
