Role
Who you are
- This is a high-impact, strategic role meant for someone who thrives in the "calm in the storm" and enjoys bringing structure to the ambiguity of emerging tech
- You come from a world of complex problem-solving, and you’ve never been content with the status quo
- You are tech-curious and product-savvy—you don’t need to be a coder, but you must be passionate about navigating technical conversations around generative AI and technology implementation
- You care deeply about quality but don't get stuck in perfectionism; you get things done and iterate until they are world-class
- 8+ years of experience in product management and/or GTM implementation, defining, launching, and iterating on impactful SaaS and/or cloud-based enterprise software products
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (Business, Computer Science, Law) or equivalent practical experience
- Industry Context: A background in law or legal tech, with experience at a top-tier firm, in-house legal team, or a disruptive legal-tech venture
- Business Influence & Stakeholder Management: Proven ability to exert significant influence across product teams and executive leadership to drive alignment
- Cross-Team Collaboration: A master of "translating" across disciplines—effectively leading Engineering, Design, and Marketing to deliver complex strategies
- Customer Empathy & Advocacy: Deep experience in identifying "thorny" operational problems and translating them into impactful product solutions
- Strategic Thinking: The ability to see the "big picture" of the legal business and how emerging technologies will improve existing processes
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Solid skills in using data analysis to derive actionable insights, prioritize roadmaps, and measure the success of AI initiatives
- Ambiguity Management: Proactive and self-directed, with the ability to bring structure to complex, fast-moving environments while juggling multiple high-stakes relationships
What the job involves
- You will be joining the Evisort AI team, which functions as a startup within Workday. This is your opportunity to build at the pace of innovation of a startup, while backed by the enormous support and impacting Workday’s incredible customer base of 70M+ users
- This role isn’t a traditional Product Manager. It is part high-level Product Strategy, part Solutions Architecture, and part "Client Whisperer." Your mission is to bridge the gap between our cutting-edge AI Workday Contracts Management powered by Evisort, and the real-world customer environment, ensuring our global enterprise customers understand, trust, and adopt our product
- As a Principal Product Manager - Evisort AI, you won’t just be building features; you’ll be defining how AI is positioned, demo’ed, and evaluated. You will act as a thought partner to both our internal teams and our enterprise customers, helping them navigate one of the biggest shifts in legal history: evaluating the ROI of AI and mapping its impact across complex practice areas
- Pre-Sales Activation Strategy: Define the global strategy for activating AI agents. Set the bar for what great looks like in a technical evaluation and ensure Product and Sales are perfectly aligned
- Demo & POC Innovation: Shape how AI proofs-of-concept are approached. Partner with Solutions Consulting to ensure demos aren’t just "cool," but are credible, repeatable, and tied to real customer questions
- The Voice of the User: Act as the primary feedback loop. Translate field experience and client "pain points" into structured insights that directly inform product development and roadmap priorities
- Narrative & Value Definition: Define the technical narrative. Clarify AI differentiation and known limitations to ensure our messaging supports a credible, honest, and high-value customer evaluation
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner deeply with Solutions Architecture and Enterprise Architecture leadership to evolve our activation approach as our AI maturity grows
- What Success Looks Like:
- Credibility: AI agents are represented with confidence and accuracy across all pre-sales engagements and post-sales implementations
- Impact: Evisort/Workday drives meaningful revenue impact through increased attach rates, expansion, net-new wins, and customer retention
- Adoption: Customers don't just buy the AI; they successfully adopt and use it post-sale because it was scoped correctly from day one
- Influence: You are the "calm, credible presence" that helps lawyers and engineers speak the same language
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.
