Senior Value Manager

Your work days are brighter here. We’re obsessed with making hard work pay off, for our people, our customers, and the world around us. As a Fortune 500 company and a leading AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, we’re shaping the future of work so teams can reach their potential and focus on what matters most. Our culture is rooted in integrity, empathy, and shared enthusiasm. We look for curious minds and courageous collaborators who bring sun-drenched optimism and drive.

As part of our experienced EMEA UK & Ireland Value Management team, you will help some of the most important organisations in Benelux make confident strategic decisions about Workday – with a special focus on our AI and data platform capabilities. We leverage our insights, tools, and expertise to guide customers along their Workday journey, helping them plan, realise, and continuously optimise value. Internally, we act as strategic advisors to Sales and Country Leadership and work in cross-functional teams to shape account strategy, craft early value messaging, and design executive experiences that showcase Workday’s differentiation.

As Value Manager you are the strategic business partner to our sales organisation in Europe, with a primary focus on customers and prospects in UK & Ireland. Your mission is to move beyond “just creating business cases” and become a key enabler of executive approvals. You will lead end‐to‐end value engagements: from early discovery and strategic framing, to commercial storytelling and approval-ready investment narratives.

In this role, you will:

• Lead value engagements with prospects and customers alongside account teams, from early discovery to approval-ready value stories and investment narratives.
• Craft compelling, concise stories that explain the business problem, the “why now”, and why Workday – turning analysis into clear content that decision-makers can approve.
• Articulate Workday’s business value proposition, including our AI and ML‐powered capabilities and consumption-based offerings, to senior business and IT audiences.
• Design and facilitate discovery interviews and executive workshops with C‐level, senior business, functional and IT stakeholders to surface strategic priorities, risks, and value levers.
• Conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis (ROI, TCO, scenario analysis, benchmarks) and package insights into simple, approval-focused artefacts (e.g. investment memo, board story, “one slide” narrative).
• Translate complex technology and AI concepts into relatable business outcomes and stories that resonate with non-technical executives.
• Partner with Sales and Country Leadership on territory and account strategy, deal reviews, and approval plans, ensuring value storytelling is consistent from first conversation to final sign-off.
• Contribute to thought leadership and scalable value plays, especially around AI, to help more deals and sellers benefit from strong value narratives and frameworks.
• Represent Value Management at key Workday and industry events, co-presenting with customers and partners on value and outcomes.
• Use AI solutions such as Gemini, Sana, NotebookLM to execute in a productive manner.

You are a strategic advisor who is as comfortable in Excel as you are in the boardroom – but you know that numbers alone don’t win approvals. You love turning complex ideas into clear, memorable stories that help executives make decisions. You bring a strong consulting toolkit (strategy, financials, stakeholder management) and a genuine interest in how AI and cloud platforms can transform HR, Finance, and IT.

Basic Qualifications:

• 5–10 years of experience in Management Consulting, Corporate/Business Strategy, Value Engineering, Business Architect, or a similar strategic advisory role to senior business stakeholders.

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).

At Workday, we are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive hiring experience where all candidates can fully demonstrate their skills.
