Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Workday is a Fortune 500 company and a leading AI platform focused on managing people, money, and agents. They are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the development of autonomous AI agents, overseeing the process from concept to global launch while ensuring compliance and reliability in complex environments.
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
- Define measurable value outcomes and evaluation frameworks that prove agent impact quantitatively
- Collaborate deeply with domain PMs to understand workflows, constraints, and where autonomous agents unlock step-function value versus incremental improvement
- Communicate agent vision and progress to executives, customers, field teams, and implementers, translating technical capability into business value
Skills
- 11+ years of product management experience
- 5+ years in SaaS/B2B enterprise software
- 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)
- Deep technical acumen: you can evaluate agent architectures, debug failure modes, and make informed design tradeoffs with engineering
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills across engineering, customers, and executive stakeholders
- Experience in regulated or complex domains (finance, HCM, healthcare, legal) where trust, compliance, and auditability are non-negotiable
- Track record of 0-to-1 product development: you've taken something from idea to revenue, not just maintained an existing product
- 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
Benefits
- This role may be eligible for the Workday Bonus Plan or a role-specific commission/bonus
- Annual refresh stock grants

- 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)
