Workday Workday · Enterprise · VIC, Australia +1

This role is for a Senior Solution Consultant focused on Workday's Financial Management Applications and AI Agents for enterprise customers in Australia and New Zealand. The consultant will demonstrate the value of these solutions, engage with finance stakeholders, and articulate how AI technologies transform finance processes. While the role discusses AI and its application, the core function is pre-sales consulting and product demonstration, not building or researching AI models.

What you'd actually do

  1. Communicate and demonstrate the power of Workday's applications to prospects and customers alike.
  2. Bring the value of Workday solutions to life and showcase how the world of work can be transformed.
  3. Provide Financials expertise, Executive presentations, and Workday Financials product demonstrations, in partnership with our sales team, to customers throughout the sales cycle.
  4. Map customer-specific finance challenges directly to technology and AI driven solutions, articulating value in terms of faster close, improved visibility, stronger compliance, and reduced manual effort—rather than simply listing product functionality.
