About The Role

This Customer Success Manager, CHRO Specialist position is part of our CS Center of Excellence team focused on the Office of the Chief Human Resource Officer (oCHRO). You will collaborate with CSMs who support customers demonstrating Workday solutions within our oCHRO platform.

Workday CSMs work directly with customers to drive adoption of Workday products. They are responsible for the overall customer well-being by monitoring customer health and ongoing platform adoption.

  • Promote adoption of our HR solution through discussions about the company's business goals and objectives.
  • Optimally position/reposition the Workday HCM platform and align our capabilities with the customer’s business requirements. This may involve documenting customer use cases and developing success plans (potentially with the Value Management team) to help customers increase the value of their investment.
  • Assess and optimize customers’ adoption of the Workday oCHRO platform by identifying deployment gaps and highlighting functionality, features, and capability opportunities.
  • Serve as a liaison between the customer and our product development team when necessary, including communicating the Workday innovation roadmap for the oCHRO and its benefits to the customer.
  • Assist in engaging customers for marketing activities such as case studies, reference calls, and participation in Workday customer events specific to the oCHRO.
  • Act as a thought leader for the CSM organization, identifying trends, challenges, and opportunities for the oCHRO customer base and providing mentorship on customer impact and needs.

Expected Results Within 3-6 Months:

  • Following initial training/onboarding, you will collaborate with our Workday CSM to achieve high customer satisfaction related to their deployment and use of Workday Solutions such as Talent Optimization, Employee Engagement, Workforce Planning, and Reporting & Analytics.
  • You will participate in standard customer engagements and other prescriptive interactions - business reviews, post-go-live meetings, and customer journey discussions.

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.
