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 Senior Associate 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 a case queue of varying complexity, including 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.

• AI Concepts: Review AI chat logs and execution outputs to spot incorrect answers, hallucinations, or misunderstandings. Document findings and recurring patterns to support senior team members and engineering in refining prompt logic.
• Technical Troubleshooting: Utilize established troubleshooting playbooks, diagnostic dashboards, and monitoring tools to reproduce reported issues, gather relevant logs, and isolate basic software bugs.
• Technical Acumen: Run basic database queries (SQL), review application logs, and inspect API payloads to verify data flow, check system state, and assist with basic cloud workflow troubleshooting.
• Customer Advocacy: Monitor and respond to incoming support queues, maintain strict SLA commitments, and communicate clearly with users. Provide empathetic, plain-language updates to customers while issues are being investigated.
• Incident & Queue Management: Perform initial queue triage, classify issue severity, and route high-impact (P1) incidents to senior analysts or engineering teams using defined escalation pathways. Participate in weekend and holiday on-call rotations with team support.

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.
