Senior Communications and Enablement Manager, Global Partner Ecosystem

Your work days are brighter here.

At Workday, it all began with a conversation over breakfast. When our founders met at a sunny California diner, they came up with an idea to revolutionize the enterprise software market. And when we began to rise, one thing that really set us apart was our culture. A culture which was driven by our value of putting our people first. And ever since, the happiness, development, and contribution of every Workmate is central to who we are. Our Workmates believe a healthy employee-centric, collaborative culture is the essential mix of ingredients for success in business. That’s why we look after our people, communities and the planet while still being profitable. Feel encouraged to shine, however that manifests: you don’t need to hide who you are. You can feel the energy and the passion, it's what makes us unique. Inspired to make a brighter work day for all and transform with us to the next stage of our growth journey? Bring your brightest version of you and have a brighter work day here.

About the Team

The Global Partner Operations team is passionate about accelerating innovation and growth with Industry differentiation, expanded reach and customer success. This is an outstanding opportunity to be part of a fun, collaborative team that is driving a rapid and global change of paradigm, to embrace a modern ecosystem and implement a unified and global partner communication strategy with local flavor, with cross-functional engagement in programs, systems, processes and people.

About the Role

We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on Enablement and Communications Manager to support our growing global partner ecosystem. In this highly cross functional role, you’ll lead the development and execution of partner enablement and communication strategies by crafting compelling narratives, driving clarity amid complexity, and enabling execution. You will thrive if you’re a strong writer, strategic problem solver, and trusted partner who’s comfortable operating in ambiguity, navigating competing priorities, and building alignment without direct authority.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead high-impact global workmate and partner enablement & communications—spanning GTM enablement, change initiatives, product offerings and channels like newsletters, webinars, videos, intranet, and presentations, ensuring clarity, consistency, and exceptional attention to detail.

• Proactively assess enablement & communication needs, track performance, and continuously refine strategies to enhance engagement and effectiveness.

• Strong stakeholder management with a track record of building alignment across diverse functions and regions.

• Track and measure the effectiveness of enablement & communication initiatives, using data to continuously improve strategies and execution.

• Lead calendars, approval processes, and governance to ensure quality and timeliness of communications.

• Operate with a growth mindset, challenging the status quo and finding opportunities to improve and innovate.

​

Why Join Us?
You’ll be part of a high-impact, fast-paced team at the intersection of global partnerships, strategy, and communication—helping shape how we grow and scale our ecosystem. If you love building new processes, thrive on creating clarity where none exists, and can tell a story that moves people to act, we’d love to meet you.
