About the Role

As the oCHRO Customer Zero Principal Product Manager, you will serve as a bridge between our users' needs and the technology that powers their work. You will deeply understand how our Workmates engage with our products and balance that knowledge with services, finance, legal, and privacy considerations to define product vision, strategy, and roadmaps.

You will stay informed of oCHRO industry trends and the evolving technology landscape, using these insights to identify opportunities and drive innovation — particularly in the AI space.

• Driving large cross-functional initiatives and implementations that create amazing experiences for Workmates and accelerate Workday's business growth
• Taking a data-driven approach to influence colleagues, business partners, and key executives — owning results even when achieving them through others
