  • Serve as the primary liaison between Workday Build product teams (Extend, Orchestrate, Data Cloud, Prism Analytics, AI Agents) and the developer community, ensuring developer voices influence product roadmaps.
  • Gather, synthesize, and champion developer feedback to product teams, identifying friction points in the developer journey and collaborating cross-functionally to remove barriers.

  • Partner with Product, Product Marketing, Events Marketing, and the Global Partner Organization to execute regional developer growth strategies that align with business objectives.
