About the Role
Workday’s Asia business has seen significant growth in the last two years. And we expect this to accelerate even more as the region adjusts to the pandemic. As we continue to strengthen our position in this key market, there is an increased opportunity to expand our footprint through the wider portfolio of HCM, Financials, Planning, Sourcing and Analytics solutions that Workday now offers. Increasingly, organisations that want to transform the way they operate are replacing legacy systems with Workday’s SaaS Enterprise Management applications.To capitalise on the opportunities in this market and to scale the sales support and customer engagements to new levels, Workday is looking to bring a senior leader to run all or part of the Presales team in Asia and manage growth both in terms of people, as well as in terms of operations.
The Presales team is comprised of functional solution consultants who are experts in various product areas and technical and business architects, who bring the solution together from a customer context.As a key member of the Asia management team, the Presales Consulting leader personally contributes to achieving Workday’s main objectives, such as excellence in deal support, demand management, quarterly and annual planning, presales skills enhancement etc. The Presales Consulting head personally ensures the "One Team" objectives, establishing a strong collaboration and partnership attitude from the Presales team with the Sales organisation as well as other functional teams in the Asia (ASEAN, HK/Taiwan and Korea) and the APAC and Japan regions.
