Senior Enterprise Architect - CLM and Spend Management

About the Role

Enterprise Architects are our top customer-facing technical experts. In this role, you will serve as a trusted advisor to Workday customers and prospects, serving as a key customer-facing expert on the under-the-hood technology, architecture, and security for some of our most advanced platforms, and help craft the overall solution strategy to achieve their business objectives. By leveraging your expertise and understanding of enterprise SaaS and AI Solutions, you will establish yourself as a leader with a valued point of view. With deep Contract Lifecycle Management and Spend Management expertise, you will play a pivotal role in guiding the world's largest companies through their Source-to-Contract evolution—transitioning organizations from legacy processes to AI-augmented workflows and using intelligent contracting to bridge the gap between static agreements and dynamic spend management.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect Complex Spend and Contract Strategies:Lead technology solutioning for high-stakes opportunities, mapping Workday Strategic Sourcing and Workday CI & CLM (Evisort) into the broader enterprise landscape to achieve specific business outcome, and resolving architecture, security, integration, and AI technology questions during the sales cycle.

• Serve as the Technology Thought Leader and Architectural Bridge:Act as a strategic point of contract for the product team to design cross-platform integrations, resolving complex technical questions during the sales cycle and establishing the blueprint for how software solutions acquired by Workday unify with core Workday, without assuming responsibility for post-sales implementation.

• Lead Executive Technical Overviews:Act as a strategic advisor to C-Suite stakeholders—including General Counsels, IT Leaders, and Heads of Procurement—translating business needs into technical visions and helping customers scale their use of Evisort.

• Map the Source-to-Pay Landscape:Analyze dependencies between core Workday Procurement and acquired products; develop solution maps that define data flow and architectural "actuals."

• Develop and Maintain Resource Bank of Technical Materials:Build and maintain our own internal reference library of information on under-the-hood platform AI technology, architecture, integration, and security information for use across the organization.

• Drive AI Thought Leadership:Educate customers on the state of AI, explaining how contract-specific LLMs and Custom AI Models can be applied to solve unique challenges in industries like Healthcare, Finance, and High Tech.

• Drive Competitive Differentiation:Partner with sales to articulate the unique value of Evisort’s AI and Strategic Sourcing’s collaborative tools against legacy competitors.

• Orchestrate Internal Alignment:Collaborate with functional SCs, core/specialized AEs, Value Management, and Product Management to ensure a unified customer experience from discovery to technical hand-off.

• Manage Technical Compliance & Proposals: Serve as the pre-sales point person for technical RFI/RFP responses, InfoSec, and Security reviews specifically for Sourcing and CLM, navigating the rigors of legal and data privacy scrutiny.
