About the Team
Finance Transformation Office (FTO) is redefining the finance function through innovative data science, machine learning, and agentic AI solutions. We build intelligent automation that showcases Workday’s AI capabilities, streamlines complex financial processes, and turns data into actionable insights. We are building an Agentic Finance Ecosystem: a connected set of intelligent agents that make financial data continuously decision-ready, automate end-to-end workflows, and unlock strategic capacity across Finance. Guided by a Customer Zero mindset, we apply our solutions internally first—proving measurable business value, establishing best practices, and creating benchmarks that help customers transform their own finance organizations.

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.
