About the Team

You will join the Financial Services Industry Services Sales team, sitting at the intersection of Sales, Services, and Customer Experience.

This team acts as trusted advisors to Financial Services customers and prospects, connecting Workday’s services, partners, and platform capabilities to real deployment and value-realization outcomes.

We work closely with Account Executives, Sales Directors, Pre-sales, Value Engineering, Partners, and Customer Success to shape services strategy, differentiate Workday’s deployment approach, and set customers up for successful implementations.

The team is accountable for protecting and advancing Workday’s track record of customer satisfaction while helping drive subscription growth, services adoption, and long-term platform consumption across Financial Services.

About the Role

As a Senior Services Executive for Financial Services Industry, you will serve as the services and deployment lead on key Financial Services accounts. You will own the services strategy for your territory, helping customers design implementation roadmaps, estimate effort and cost, and align resources to achieve their business and financial outcomes.

This is a quota-bearing role focused on services revenue. The primary responsibility is to support and accelerate Workday subscription sales by shaping, selling, and closing the corresponding services engagements.

You will use your Financial Services Industry and Financials expertise, along with your experience in ERP, Financials, or Planning solutions, to position Workday’s services, methodologies, and partner ecosystem as the best path to successful deployment. You will support complex, enterprise-level sales cycles, lead services discovery and scoping, and create compelling proposals and statements of work that connect sales strategy to delivery.

You will work across direct and partner-led motions, collaborating with account teams and partners to:

• Understand customer objectives, constraints, and risk profiles

• Design deployment and transformation approaches tailored to Financial Services needs

• Shape and negotiate services deals that set engagements up for success

• Monitor in-flight customer engagements and coordinate the right interventions from Global Services, Partners, and Customer Experience teams

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in front of customers, can anticipate what is needed next in a deal or deployment, and enjoys owning the connection between what we sell and how we deliver in complex Financial Services environments.

• Demonstrated ability to anticipate deal, delivery, risk, and resource needs in customer-facing environments.

• High initiative and ownership, with experience identifying and acting on gaps or opportunities without detailed direction.

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.
