Description

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 own an agent from concept through GA: 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 organisation
  • 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

Basic Qualifications:

  • 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
  • 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

Other Qualifications:

  • 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

Workday Pay Transparency Statement: The base pay range for this role is $162,800 CAD - $244,200 CAD. The actual compensation offered will be based on multiple factors, including geography, experience, skills, job duties, and business need.
