About the Team
The Japan Services Executive team brings together a diverse range of skills and experience across professional services, functional subject-matter expertise, and sales. The team plays a pivotal role in connecting Workday's services and sales organizations, ensuring that we support subscription sales by differentiating Workday's services approach and deployment methodology, and that our customers are set up for successful deployments that deliver on their business objectives.About the Role
Workday is the leader in enterprise-class, software-as-a-service (SaaS) Human Capital Management and Financial Management solutions for running global businesses. As a Principal Service Executive within our Professional Services organization, you will be a senior, trusted advisor responsible for the planning, management, and execution of Professional Services business development for our most strategic and complex opportunities in Japan. You will be a key member of the Workday Pre-Sales Services team, working alongside Account Executives and Customer Success Managers to drive Workday subscription sales across market segments.
This is not a product-only sales role. To succeed, you will draw on real-world enterprise implementation and consulting experience to help prospects design a plan for a successful project, including scope, deployment approach, resources, timeline, cost, and risk. You will apply your understanding of multiple deployment methodologies, selecting and adapting the right approach to each customer's context. You will build compelling services value propositions, not just product pitches, and position Workday's Professional Services and innovative deployment methodology as the efficient, modern, and lower-risk path to value. As a Principal, you will lead the largest and most complex services deals, engage at the executive (CxO) level, and act as a role model who mentors peers and shares best practices across the team.
You will work closely with our Service (implementation) Partners, who play a central role in the Japanese market, to jointly plan successful projects, manage partner capacity, and grow the ecosystem. If you have a strong consulting-delivery or project-management background combined with a passion for solution-oriented services selling, are a self-starter, and thrive in a multifaceted environment, then Workday Japan's Services Executive team is the place for you.

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.
