About the role
- We are looking for Principal Product Managers who have shipped production AI agent systems and want to do it again at enterprise scale.
- You will be hands-on with agent architectures, evaluation frameworks, and customer workflows daily, while also making sharp prioritization calls across a fast-moving portfolio.
- scoping the bet, prototyping solutions, running early adopter programs, and scaling to Workday's global customer base.
Responsibilities
- Own an AI agent end-to-end, from identifying the opportunity through GA launch and beyond
- Prototype and validate agent concepts rapidly, using real customer workflows and data to pressure-test viability before committing engineering resources
- Design production-quality agent systems in collaboration with engineering, ensuring reliability, auditability, and trust in regulated domains
- Run customer discovery and Early Adopter programs to validate value, generate references, and derisk at every stage
- Identify the highest-ROI agent opportunities in finance and HCM, build conviction with data, and advocate for them within the organization
- Collaborate deeply with domain PMs to understand workflows, constraints, and where autonomous agents unlock step-function value versus incremental improvement
- Direct experience building and shipping external, revenue generating AI forward product and /or agent systems to production (not just AI/ML features, but agents that reason, plan, and take action autonomously)
- Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work.
Requirements
- 11+ years of product management experience
- 5+ years in SaaS/B2B enterprise software
- Track record of 0-to-1 product development: you've taken something from idea to revenue, not just maintained an existing product
- 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).
- Workday is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals during our application process, in order to perform one or more essential functions of their job, as well as regarding the use of AI tools for employment decision-making to any degree.
- Experience in regulated or complex domains (finance, HCM, healthcare, legal) where trust, compliance, and auditability are non-negotiable
- Bias for action, comfortable making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information and iterating from there
- Experience managing Early Adopter or beta programs with enterprise customers
- Ability to operate across multiple functions, influence senior executives, and drive alignment without authority
- You are already building agent systems, whether prototyping on weekends, shipping side projects, or pushing the boundaries at your current company
- You have strong opinions on agent evaluation, reliability, and human-in-the-loop design, formed from hands-on experience, not just reading papers
- You learn complex customer domains fast and can identify where agents create step-function value versus where they create risk
- You are motivated by building new product lines from scratch, not optimizing existing ones
- You are organized enough to track dozens of moving pieces across customers, engineering, and stakeholders while maintaining velocity
Skills
- Your work days are brighter here.
Compensation
- $162,800 CAD - $244,200 CAD
- $162,800 - $244,200 CAD

Benefits
