About the Team

At Workday, we bring technical rigor, customer empathy, and a spirit of fun to enterprise software. Our support team underpins operational excellence across Workday's digital experience, ensuring top-tier service for our core applications while also supporting our growing AI/ML platform and Agent Factory initiative.
Within this ecosystem, the Workday Adaptive Planning Support team plays a critical role in empowering our customers to build agile, data-driven financial strategies. We partner directly with product and technology teams to eliminate bottlenecks, maintain high platform availability, and ensure system reliability—focusing heavily on our robust Planning features and functionality, alongside our next-generation AI workflows for our global customer base.

About the Role

We are seeking a customer-focused Support Analyst to drive case and incident resolution, issue analysis, research, and investigation, and operational optimization across Workday’s Adaptive Planning platform and our autonomous AI agent workflows. In this high-visibility role, you will bridge the gap between traditional SaaS troubleshooting and cutting-edge AI operations. You will manage critical customer escalations within strict SLAs while partnering directly with Support Engineers and Product Management teams to inform feature iteration and product fixes and  optimizations.  The key parts of this role will involve your core focus on becoming an expert at the Adaptive Planning platform, alongside evaluating AI quality: reviewing chat histories and AI responses to spot mistakes, figure out why they happened, and turn those insights into simple improvements that make the AI clearer, smarter, and more reliable. 

Key Responsibilities

• Core Planning and Reporting Troubleshooting: Troubleshoot with customers on cases to resolve reported issues with their financial data, reporting, and/or financial integrations.
• Enterprise SaaS & Functional Domain Expertise: Use deep knowledge of enterprise SaaS platforms (including Finance, HR, and Payroll) and cross-functional workflows to validate AI logic and evaluate domain-specific system behavior.
• AI Concepts: Review AI chat logs and execution outputs to catch incorrect answers, hallucinations, or misunderstandings, turning findings into prompt and system logic improvements.
• Technical Troubleshooting: Investigate software bugs and system performance bottlenecks using dashboards and monitoring tools to isolate underlying issues rather than applying quick fixes.
• Technical Acumen: Use database queries (SQL), system logs, and basic diagnostic scripts to verify data integrity, check API payloads, and troubleshoot cloud workflows.
• Customer Advocacy: Manage incoming request queues, meet strict SLA commitments, and prioritize high-impact operational disruptions over routine tasks. Acting as a clear, reassuring point of contact for customer leadership during urgent issues, explaining technical problems and solutions in plain language.
• Incident & Queue Management: Triage high-severity (P1) support queues, enforce SLAs, and prioritize critical outages over routine inquiries. Participate in weekend and holiday on-call rotations for continuous coverage.

Location & Shift

• Location: This position is based in the Workday Heredia, Costa Rica office. 
• Hybrid Work: Candidates will be expected to work from the office at least 50% of the time.
• Hours: Typical shift will be from Tuesday-Saturday, 8am to 5pm
• On-Call: Participation in an on-call rotation is required to provide after-hours support when needed.

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 you'll 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.
