About the Team

The Workday Global Partner Organization (GPO) is focused on building a vibrant and growing economy with our partners, powered by our technology. The Partner Innovation team within GPO drives innovation within our partner ecosystem, helping partners build and deliver impactful solutions that foster joint success in the Workday Solution Marketplace. The Agent Partner Network is a new program for Workday Partners building agents on the Workday platform.

About the Role

The Partner Solution Architect provides technical advisory and co-development services to Workday partners, assisting them in designing and building compelling solutions. This team serves as the internal center of excellence for integrations, apps and agents on the Workday Platform.

We achieve this by reviewing and certifying partner-built integrations, applications through Built on Workday and agents. We support partners in developing solutions for the Workday Marketplace using tools like Workday Extend and technical standards and best practices for reliability, performance, security and scale.

The Partner Solution Architect combines the expertise of a software architect, developer, delivery lead, and project manager, helping Workday partners define their initial design, overcome technical roadblocks, and successfully build their solutions. Additionally, this role acts as a liaison to Workday product teams, effectively communicating partners’ technical requirements.

This role is focussed on supporting the new Agent Partner Network for partners building managed agents on the platform using Extend, or partners registering externally harnessed agents accessing Workday Agent Ready Tools.

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.
