About the Team
As part of our experienced EMEA North & CEE Value Management team, you will help some of the most important organisations in Benelux make confident strategic decisions about Workday – with a special focus on our AI and data platform capabilities.
We leverage our insights, tools, and expertise to guide customers along their Workday journey, helping them plan, realise, and continuously optimise value. That means not only quantifying business cases, but shaping the narrative that secures internal approval and sustained sponsorship.
Internally, we act as strategic advisors to Sales and Country Leadership and work in cross-functional teams to shape account strategy, craft early value messaging, and design executive experiences that showcase Workday’s differentiation. Externally, we work with senior executives at prospects and customers to clarify their strategic priorities and align Workday – including our AI innovation and consumption-based offerings – to tangible business impact.
Working closely with Sales, Solution Consultants, Professional Services, Marketing and Partners, this strategic advisory role offers a great platform within one of the fastest-growing enterprise software companies in the world. Workday is consistently ranked as one of the best places to work, with a collaborative culture that enables you to learn, grow, and deliver at your best.
About the Role
As Value Manager you are the strategic business partner to our sales organisation in Europe, with a primary focus on customers and prospects in Benelux.
Your mission is to move beyond “just creating business cases” and become a key enabler of executive approvals. You will combine rigorous financial thinking with clear, compelling storytelling that helps C‑level stakeholders understand why they should invest in Workday now – especially in our AI and platform capabilities.
You will lead end‑to‑end value engagements: from early discovery and strategic framing, to commercial storytelling and approval-ready investment narratives. You will connect the strategic goals of organisations directly to the capabilities of the Workday platform, using AI- and data-led use cases and, where relevant, consumption-based models.
In this role, you will:
- Lead value engagements with prospects and customers alongside account teams, from early discovery to approval-ready value stories and investment narratives.
- Craft compelling, concise stories that explain the business problem, the “why now”, and why Workday – turning analysis into clear content that decision-makers can approve.
- Articulate Workday’s business value proposition, including our AI and ML‑powered capabilities and consumption-based offerings, to senior business and IT audiences.
- Design and facilitate discovery interviews and executive workshops with C‑level, senior business, functional and IT stakeholders to surface strategic priorities, risks, and value levers.
- Conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis (ROI, TCO, scenario analysis, benchmarks) and package insights into simple, approval-focused artefacts (e.g. investment memo, board story, “one slide” narrative).
- Translate complex technology and AI concepts into relatable business outcomes and stories that resonate with non-technical executives.
- Partner with Sales and Country Leadership on territory and account strategy, deal reviews, and approval plans, ensuring value storytelling is consistent from first conversation to final sign-off.
- Contribute to thought leadership and scalable value plays, especially around AI, to help more deals and sellers benefit from strong value narratives and frameworks.
- Represent Value Management at key Workday and industry events, co-presenting with customers and partners on value and outcomes.
- Use AI solutions such as Gemini, Sana, NotebookLM to execute in a productive manner.

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.
