- As a CLM Customer Success Manager, you’ll be part of a specialized team focused on driving deep, measurable adoption and value realization for AI-powered contract lifecycle management workflows
- We use a consistent Customer Success framework across Specialized CS that defines what “good” looks like for our customers: clear personas, adoption and health definitions, maturity milestones, and standard engagements that can scale across our portfolio

- Workday’s Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution leverages cutting-edge AI technology to make contracts searchable, simplify deal-making processes, reduce costs, and manage risk

- You will work in close collaboration with the Workday account team as a specialized overlay, bringing deep CLM domain expertise, product knowledge, and best practices to accelerate adoption and customer maturity against clearly defined success milestones

- Lead proactive, planned customer engagements (e.g., onboarding, value realization, optimization, and roadmap alignment) that accelerate adoption and maturity
- Use product usage data, health indicators, and customer feedback to assess adoption, prioritize efforts, and adjust success plans based on what is driving measurable value

- Identify and cultivate customer champions and advocacy opportunities in partnership with Sales, Marketing, and Product
- Contribute to continuous improvement of Specialized CS motions by sharing learnings, refining playbooks, and helping standardize approaches that can scale without increasing cost to serve

Our take
Workday is a cloud-based software vendor that provides management of workforces and finances. The company uses a single database for workforce management and financial management to offer integration and optimize business intelligence across companies. It has added to the packages and tools it offers over the years, providing analytic options that allow companies to combine third-party data with information collected by Workday.
The company has also grown through acquisitions and partnerships to broaden its capabilities. Most recently, in 2025 it purchases Sana, an AI-driven enterprise knowledge and learning platform, to create a "new front door for work". This acquisition allows Workday to integrate Sana's AI-powered search, agents, and learning capabilities with its own data and workflows, allowing employees to access information, automate tasks, and complete their day entirely within Workday.
Through a combination of strategic acquisitions and in-house development, Workday has built a comprehensive suite of HR, financial, and enterprise tools. By focusing on innovation and AI-driven workflows, the company continues to push productivity and decision-making for organizations worldwide. Building on this track record, Workday is very much positioned for even more growth, reinforcing its status as a leader in shaping the future of work.
