About the Team
Its fun to work in a company where people truly believe in what theyre doing. At Workday, were committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business of enterprise applications. We work hard, and were serious about what we do. But we like to have a good time, too. In fact, we run our company with that principle in mind every day: One of our core values is fun.
About the Role
Workday is looking for a highly motivated and efficient Express Sourcing Specialist to play a key role in our Source-to-Pay process. In this fast-paced role, you will be responsible for managing a high volume of low-to-medium dollar sourcing projects, ensuring timely and cost-effective procurement of goods and services. You will leverage your expertise in contract review, negotiation, and risk assessment to drive savings and mitigate potential risks while adhering to established processes and category strategies. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and possess a strong understanding of procurement and sourcing principles, we encourage you to apply!
Responsibilities:
  • Execute sourcing projects in alignment with category-level strategies and established processes for low to medium dollar sourcing projects
  • Manage a high volume of sourcing requests, primarily low-to-medium dollar value, often with standardized procedures
  • Support the creation, review, and negotiation of contracts, ensuring favorable terms and conditions
  • Negotiate with suppliers on pricing, service level agreements, and other key commercial and legal terms to maximize savings and achieve defined goals
  • Conduct risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential supplier-related risks
  • Execute low-complexity RFQs and quick bids to identify the best-value suppliers
  • Prioritize the utilization of preferred and existing suppliers whenever possible
  • Meet or exceed service level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) for project completion and efficiency
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date information in procurement systems
Critical Skills:
  • Contract Knowledge: Solid understanding of contract terms, conditions, and legal implications
  • Negotiation: Proven ability to effectively negotiate with suppliers to achieve optimal outcomes
  • Program Management: Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Risk Management: Ability to identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks associated with suppliers and contracts
  • Business & Stakeholder Management: Strong communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders and build strong relationships with suppliers
About You
  • Bachelors degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field
  • Minimum 6 years of general business experience and minimum 3 years in procurement or sourcing, preferably in a high-volume environment
  • Proficiency in procurement processes
  • Experience with e-procurement platforms
  • Familiarity with specific industry regulations
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent English written and verbal communication skills
  • Bonus if you have a relevant certification (e.g. Certified Purchasing Manager)
Note: Candidates assessed to have lesser experience will be considered for Sourcing Specialist role


Our Approach to Flexible Work
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). This means youll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
