  • Planning and Analysis :

  • Lead and manage all financial planning and analysis processes for the business unit, including annual planning, long-range planning, budgeting, and rolling forecasts.

  • Perform qualitative financial analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs), apply financial modeling to generate insights into business performance, and advise on the financial impact of operational decisions. Proactively recommend actions to improve financial performance.
  • Process Improvement :

  • Drive continuous improvement, standardization, and simplification of financial processes and reporting, ensuring accuracy and attention to detail in a fast-paced environment.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration :

  • Actively participate in cross-functional initiatives to establish robust measurement and monitoring practices. Collaborate closely with IT, Data, and other finance teams to align system capabilities with business goals.
  • About You

    Required Qualifications :

  • 10+ years of related experience in Finance, Accounting, or a related business function, with a focus on FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis).
  • Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • Other Qualifications :

  • Master's degree in a business function (e.g., MBA, Master's in Finance) is a plus.

    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.

    Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

    Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
