UX Designer, AI

Senior UX Designer

Your work days are brighter here. At Workday, it all began with a conversation over breakfast. When our founders met at a sunny California diner, they came up with an idea to revolutionize the enterprise software market. And when we began to rise, one thing that really set us apart was our culture. A culture which was driven by our value of putting our people first. And ever since, the happiness, development, and contribution of every Workmate is central to who we are. Our Workmates believe a healthy employee-centric, collaborative culture is the essential mix of ingredients for success in business. That's why we look after our people, communities and the planet while still being profitable. Feel encouraged to shine, however that manifests: you don't need to hide who you are. You can feel the energy and the passion, it's what makes us unique. Inspired to make a brighter work day for all and transform with us to the next stage of our growth journey? Bring your brightest version of you and have a brighter work day here.

Join Workday's AI Experiences team, one of our newest and most exciting groups. Our vision is simple: make Workday's artificial intelligence experiences a competitive advantage by delivering intuitive features that build trust in AI for the enterprise. You will be working on a team that is building world class agentic and assistant experiences and influencing centralised AI patterns that will provide clear, comprehensive resources for everyone building on Workday. The rise of AI has caused a paradigm shift in how people interact with technology. Our interfaces may evolve, but the foundations of great design are more relevant than ever. We're on a mission to make the advanced technology of AI feel familiar and straightforward for our workmates and more than 60 million users worldwide.

About You

You are a designer who enjoys mastering complex platforms and interfaces, skilled in converting detailed user interaction needs into elegant web and mobile interactions.

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.
