About the role

Success requires balancing innovation with the governance, auditability, and scalability needed for production use in highly regulated environments.
This is not a traditional implementation role.
The Solution Development Consultant combines customer-facing solution delivery with AI application development, including agent-based workflows, prompt engineering, system integration, and solution architecture.

Own the hardest customer problems end-to-end
Take ambiguous, first-of-their-kind customer problems and drive them from prototype to stable production across multiple deployments. You own technical delivery, and you own whether it actually works for the customer
Design and deploy AI-powered workflows
Design and deploy AI-powered workflows that address real customer challenges, building, testing, and operationalizing solutions while establishing appropriate controls for human review, exception management, and governance in regulated environments.
Drive customer outcomes
Turn recurring customer problems and real-world outcomes into the evaluation criteria, patterns, and priorities that Product and Engineering build into the platform.
You'll contribute patterns, methods, and field learnings into the shared knowledge environment, building a compounding base of expertise that every SDC draws on.
That includes peer mentoring, but the real contribution is the institutional knowledge you build, not just the individual relationships
Workiva is the platform designed to bring confidence, control, and a competitive edge to the world's most complex organizations.
The work you do here helps organizations navigate uncertainty, maintain trust, and make decisions that stand up to scrutiny.

Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience
Workiva employees are required to undergo comprehensive security and privacy training tailored to their roles, ensuring adherence to company policies and regulatory standards.

Experience with reporting and analytics technology, financial, sustainability, governance, risk, compliance, or adjacent domains
Ability to engage credibly with both technical and business stakeholders, including regulatory teams, IT, and executive sponsors
Familiarity with enterprise platforms such as SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, Salesforce, or comparable ecosystems and common integration patterns
Knowledge of prompt engineering, agent-based architectures, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), evaluation frameworks, and AI application lifecycle management
25% Travel for internal meetings
Reliable internet access for any period of time, working remotely and not in a Workiva office
Experience configuring, customizing, and delivering software solutions in customer environments, owning complex implementations from requirements through deployment and adoption
