We’re obsessed with making hard work pay off, for our people, our customers, and the world around us. As a Fortune 500 company and a leading AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, we’re shaping the future of work so teams can reach their potential and focus on what matters most.
About the Team The AI Services team is part of Workday's AI Platform organization, and we are building the operating tooling that powers Workday's AI and agentic strategy.
Think of us not as a collection of isolated services, but as a key supplier in the AI supply chain: we make sure Workday's AI Agents have access to the right data through Information Retrieval and RAG, can perform intelligent actions on Workday data through Recommendations, can operate within an acceptable cost envelope through Modernization, and can be discovered by the teams that need them through our AI Portfolio Registry.
The team is shifting from building standalone ML features into providing reusable, platform-grade AI capabilities that teams across Workday can plug into and build on: whether they are building AI agents, traditional UI/UX application experiences, or extending Workday's platform for external developers through Workday Extend.
The work is genuinely novel: AI-native rapid prototyping, agent architecture, financial intelligence, precision-at-one recommendation systems, and unbundling retrieval primitives for developer consumption.
About the Role As a Senior Product Manager on the AI Services team, you will be a force multiplier at the intersection of AI product development, growth and adoption, and AI-augmented productivity.
This role requires three distinct strengths working together: Deep fluency with AI/ML products and services, The ability to operationalize growth practices for an internal platform, The habit of using AI tools to dramatically increase your own output and the output of those around you: from rapid prototyping with AI coding agents to accelerating research, analysis, artifact creation, and day-to-day decision-making.
You will operate with a high degree of autonomy and ownership over your product area.
In this role, you will be responsible for: Owning the end-to-end product lifecycle for AI/ML services , including discovery, prioritization, roadmap definition, evaluations, and navigating the unique complexities of non-determinism, cost/latency tradeoffs, and API and service-layer design Shaping and socializing AI services as reusable capabilities for consumption by AI agent teams, traditional application teams building Workday's UI/UX product layer, and the Workday Extend platform-as-a-service team
This is not a supporting function: you will be the team's primary practitioner and mentor in growth craft, educating and upleveling your PM peers and cross-functional partners who do not have this specialty today Using AI tools to multiply your own productivity and the team's , treating AI coding agents, AI-assisted research, and AI-augmented analysis as core parts of how you work every day.
You also use AI to accelerate PRDs, data analysis, internal tooling, stakeholder communication, and any task where speed and quality compound.
You model this way of working for the broader team Partnering closely with engineering to define quality, design structured APIs and service contracts, and act as a catalyst helping application teams modernize their products with innovative AI capabilities Contributing to the evolution of the team's operating model , including helping institutionalize AI-assisted rapid prototyping and AI-augmented PM workflows as repeatable, production-connected practices across the broader organization About You Basic
experience in a technology environment , with meaningful
experience shipping AI/ML-powered products, platform services, developer tools, and leading growth initiatives at a program or product level.
AI/ML product fluency: You have shipped at least one AI or ML-powered product or service as the accountable PM. You understand the AI product lifecycle (data, evaluations, prompt iteration, model selection, non-determinism, and cost/latency tradeoffs).
You have real stories about where the model or service surprised you and how you navigated it AI-augmented productivity and prototyping: You use AI tools as force multipliers across your entire scope of work: not just for prototyping, but for research, data analysis, artifact creation, internal tooling, and everyday PM workflows.
You are also fluent with AI coding agents, comfortable in a terminal, and able to build working prototypes and demo-quality artifacts yourself when speed matters.
Qualifications Foundational PM excellence: You bring strong written communication, structured discovery, sharp prioritization, and the ability to navigate ambiguity with stakeholders across engineering, design, and leadership.
You go beyond familiarity with growth concepts: you operationalize the tooling, instrumentation, and experimentation tactics that make adoption measurable and repeatable.
Experience
Qualifications 8+ years of product management
Benefits
In return, we’ll give you the trust to take risks, the tools to grow, the skills to develop and the support of a company invested in you for the long haul.
You bring evidence rather than enthusiasm to roadmap decisions, and you are comfortable giving and receiving candid feedback in service of better outcomes Collaborative and adaptive: You work effectively across disciplines (engineering, ML, data science, and partner application teams) and you are energized rather than daunted by the pace and ambiguity of building at the frontier of AI Workday Pay Transparency Statement The annualized base salary ranges for the primary location and any additional locations
