About The Team

The Partner AI Experience team is Workday’s dedicated investment in accelerating our most strategic GSI and Ecosystem partnerships. Working alongside the Global Partner Organization (GPO), this team serves as the technical, functional, and quantitative experts, providing the enablement infrastructure, product intelligence, and go-to-market support that allows our partners to build and sell Workday AI with confidence and speed. Each pod is aligned to a single strategic GSI or Ecosystem Motion and staffed with specialists across the oCIO, oCHRO, and oCFO domains, along with a dedicated Business Value Architect. The pod works across the partner’s solution consulting teams, architects, offering leaders, and value desks to ensure the partner’s Workday practice is equipped, differentiated, and positioned to grow.

About The Role

As a Senior or Principal Partner AI Advisor (oCHRO) at the Solution Consultant level, you are a key functional expert within your pod for Workday’s Human Capital Management suite and its agentic AI capabilities. You help ensure the partner’s HCM-aligned teams — solution consultants, offering developers, and practice leads — have the depth of knowledge they need to position, demo, and build Workday-led HR and workforce AI solutions with confidence. Your work influences how the partner’s HCM practice thinks about and sells Workday, so that when talent, workforce, and HR transformation decisions are being made at clients, Workday’s capabilities are already part of the conversation. You will build expertise in Workday’s HCM roadmap and agentic AI capabilities, translate them into outcome-driven narratives, and support partners in articulating Workday’s differentiation when customers are evaluating platforms.



This role aligns to the Solution Consultant job skills and core skills, with emphasis on functional domain knowledge, presales excellence, communication, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities:

Functional Practice Readiness

• Develop strong expertise in Workday HCM and agentic workforce capabilities and use it to enable partner HCM solution consultants and offering teams.
• Support efforts to provide partners early, deep visibility into Workday’s HCM roadmap and AI capabilities — including Core HR, Talent, Recruiting, Learning, Payroll, and agentic workforce solutions — so they can confidently lead HR transformation conversations.
• Contribute to persona-based functional playbooks (CHRO, CPO, Head of Talent) that translate Workday’s capabilities into outcome-driven narratives partners can take into customer conversations.
• Help interpret upcoming HCM releases and communicate implications for partner offerings, go-to-market positioning, and client engagements.

Agentic HR & Workforce AI

• Help partners understand the agentic AI opportunity within HCM — where intelligent automation, AI-driven talent insights, and workforce agents create value for their clients.
• Partner with senior team members to articulate how agentic AI transforms organizational design and HR operating models, including what it means to manage a workforce of both people and agents.
• Contribute to discussions with partners on regulatory and risk considerations around HR agentic AI — such as labor implications, data privacy, algorithmic bias, and compliance — to support responsible adoption.
• Assist in identifying industry-specific agent libraries and high-return use cases where partners can build differentiated, partner-owned HCM solutions on Workday’s agentic platform.

Competitive & Functional Positioning

• Help equip partner HCM teams with current competitive positioning — how Workday differentiates across the HCM landscape versus legacy platforms, point solutions, and emerging AI-native HR players.
• Translate Workday’s functional differentiation into clear, outcome-focused language that resonates with HR stakeholders.
• Share partner-developed HCM solutions and functional innovations back with Workday’s field and solution consulting teams so joint customers benefit from the partner’s IP.
• Support joint industry events, HR forums, and practice conferences with partners, contributing to presentations on workforce transformation and agentic AI.
• Act as a first line of support for partner HCM teams on functional questions and common competitive objections, collaborating with senior colleagues as needed.

Demo & Functional Readiness

• Collaborate with Solution Architecture and Solution Consulting to help ensure partner demo environments reflect current Workday functionality and product depth in HCM.
• Help bring partner-built HCM solutions and demo scenarios back to the Solution Architecture team so Workday’s field can demo partner-delivered HR solutions seamlessly.

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 youll 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.
