You help enterprise customers solve complex reporting, regulatory, and business process challenges by designing, configuring, and delivering AI-powered solutions on the Workiva platform. This hands-on, client-facing role combines consultative problem-solving, enterprise software configuration, and applied AI. You work directly with clients to understand how their processes operate, find where they can improve, and turn those needs into working solutions using existing and emerging platform capabilities.\nYou are equally comfortable facilitating a client workshop, turning business requirements into a solution design, and configuring and deploying that solution yourself. You understand how AI, including agents and intelligent automation, applies to enterprise workflows, and you have practical experience turning those opportunities into solutions that real clients use. The work happens where client requirements, platform capabilities, and emerging AI meet. You decide how to deliver value today and help shape the reusable solutions of tomorrow. You do this in regulated environments, so governance, auditability, and scalability matter as much as speed.\nThis role is/is not\nThis role is\nClient-facing and consultative, with ownership of outcomes\nHands-on configuration of a platform that is not turnkey\nPractical application of AI and agents inside real client processes\nThis role is not\nA pure software engineering role\nA pre-sales or demo role\nAn advisory role that stops at the recommendation\nWhat you'll do\nRun discovery that ends in a design\nLead workshops and working sessions with regulatory, finance, tax, and IT stakeholders. For example, sit with a tax team to map how a country-by-country report is assembled today, then leave with a documented process and a clear view of what the platform covers and what it does not.\nConfigure the solution yourself\nDesign, build, and test client-specific solutions on the Workiva platform. For example, set up the forms, data structures, business rules, and workflow for a regulatory filing, and connect it to the client's ERP data.\nPut AI to work inside the process\nIdentify where AI and agents improve how clients run reporting and compliance workflows, then configure and deploy them. For example, build an agent that drafts a first pass of a disclosure from source data, with a human review step, an exception queue, and an audit trail.\nTake it live and make it stick\nOwn the outcome through validation, deployment, and adoption. For example, run testing with the client's preparers and reviewers, fix what breaks, and measure cycle time and error rates after go-live. Serve as the trusted advisor throughout, and be clear about trade-offs.\nTurn client work into reusable patterns\nCapture what works so the next engagement starts further ahead. For example, document a configuration pattern from one client for the team's shared knowledge base, and log a platform gap with evidence for Product and Engineering.\nWhat you'll need\nMinimum qualifications\nBachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.\n5+ years in client-facing enterprise software consulting, implementation, or solution development, with hands-on involvement in delivering to clients.\n5+ years of experience working with enterprise software architecture, data flows, APIs, and system integrations, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both business and technical audiences. \nPreferred qualifications\nExperience with regulatory reporting processes, such as financial, sustainability, tax transparency, or statutory reporting, or related audit, risk, and compliance work.\nExperience configuring enterprise platforms such as ServiceNow, Salesforce, or Workiva.\nExperience with ERP and finance systems such as SAP or Oracle, and an understanding of how upstream data quality and structure shape reporting outcomes.\nPractical experience designing or configuring AI agents and workflows, including prompt design, retrieval-augmented generation, output evaluation, and human-in-the-loop controls.\nWorking knowledge of SQL, Python, or JavaScript for scripting, data manipulation, or integration.\nExperience working with Product Management and Engineering to turn client requirements into reusable capabilities.\nExperience alongside implementation partners, systems integrators, advisory firms, or audit firms.\nTravel and working conditions\nUp to 25% travel for client engagements and internal meetings.\nReliable internet access when working remotely or outside a Workiva office.\nHow You’ll Be Rewarded\nSalary range in the US: $111,000.00 - $180,000.00A discretionary bonus typically paid annually\nRestricted Stock Units granted at time of hire\n401(k) match and comprehensive employee benefits package\nThe salary range represents the low and high end of the salary range for this job in the US.
