About the Team
The Global Services Finance team is a dedicated group of finance professionals who serve as trusted advisors to the Global Services organization, helping to drive business performance, maintain financial integrity, and turn data into a strategic asset. Our primary mission is to ensure that business decisions are grounded in sound financial analysis, that reported information is accurate and reliable, and that forecasts are delivered with a high level of predictability.
We partner closely with Global Services leadership, the Strategic Business Development team, Operations, and across Finance to shape the financial direction of some of Workday's most exciting growth areas — including AI services, global hubs expansion, and pricing and packaging for services. In the year ahead, our team will play a central role in supporting global initiatives — providing the insights and financial frameworks that inform not only how Workday scales its services into new markets, but also where services should strategically invest to enable subscription growth, strengthen the partner ecosystem, and drive adoption of Workday's subscription products.
What makes this team special is the breadth and global scope of the work. You will not only support EMEA-specific priorities but also contribute to global analysis and outcomes, collaborating with teams across geographies. We value intellectual curiosity, a hands-on approach, and a mindset that goes beyond traditional finance — we are looking for people who think like a CFO and are excited to shape business strategy.
About the Role
As the EMEA Global Services Finance Manager, you will be a key financial partner to the EMEA Global Services leader and the Strategic Business Development leader who owns global hubs expansion and services pricing and packaging. This is an individual contributor role with a global reach — you will bring a CFO mindset to everything you do, helping leadership make informed, forward-looking decisions that drive business outcomes.
Responsibilities:
- Owning and supporting the end-to-end EMEA Services P&L, including bookings, revenue, expenses, headcount, and capacity planning for both internal resources and subcontractors.
- Partnering with EMEA Services leadership and the Strategic Business Development leader to establish and drive functional budget tracking standards and provide financial insights that inform business strategy.
- Delivering actionable financial insights from the EMEA and Global hubs perspective that contribute to executive-level decision-making.
- Developing and implementing short-term financial and operational plans (AOP and Monthly/quarterly forecast), including budgets and forecasts, and supporting the long-range planning (LRP) process as needed from the EMEA and Global hubs perspective.
- Building and maintaining financial models, tools, and processes that are scalable, repeatable, and designed for accuracy and efficiency.
- Reviewing and refining key performance metrics to ensure they provide the right clarity into business health and direction.
- Preparing and presenting monthly and quarterly financial packages, providing qualitative financial analysis around key performance indicators to senior leadership.
- Playing a global role in financial analysis and outcomes, partnering with global teams to ensure consistency and alignment across regions.
- Developing executive-level presentations that distill complex financial information into clear messages and support decision-making.
About You
Required Qualifications:
- 6+ years of related experience across FP&A, Strategic Finance, Strategy, or Operations.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Other Qualifications:
- Adaptable and forward-thinking, especially in the era of AI. You are open to thinking differently about how work gets done, and you are actively learning or already using AI not just to improve existing processes incrementally, but to fundamentally rethink and redesign how you work.
- Brings a proactive and ownership-oriented mindset — you take initiative, anticipate challenges, and are willing to roll up your sleeves to get the work done.
- Experienced in financial business planning, with the ability to develop comprehensive financial plans, forecasts, and budgets based on current data, market trends, and potential risks, and to provide strategic guidance on investment decisions, cost management, and revenue generation.
- Skilled in financial modeling and analysis, with a focus on building scalable, repeatable tools and processes that support future projections, scenario planning, and informed business decisions — with attention to detail and accuracy.
- Demonstrated ability in business analysis, including evaluating organizational operations, interpreting data to identify areas for improvement, and proposing solutions that enhance profitability and growth. You understand the business beyond finance and can connect financial insights to broader strategy.
- Experienced in process improvement, with a focus on identifying and enhancing existing financial processes, building internal systems that are simple, predictive, and accessible, and driving operational efficiency across a global organization.
- Adept at executive communication, with exceptional verbal and written skills and the ability to synthesize complex financial topics into clear, concise messages — including preparing and delivering executive-level presentations that inform decision-making.
- Comfortable working across a geographically distributed organization, with the ability to build productive relationships and collaborate effectively with global teams.
- Experience supporting Customer organizations, especially Professional Services or Go-to-Market functions, is preferred.
- High proficiency in MS Excel, PowerPoint, and/or Google Sheets and Slides. Knowledge of Workday Financials or Adaptive Planning 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.
