This is primarily a Sales role with some Customer Success responsibilities.
You will work collaboratively across Sales, Delivery, Support, Legal, Marketing, and Operations, and serve as a key relationship partner to Workday Customer Success and Sales teams to support customer retention and growth.
Selling Workday Adaptive Pro to Customers
You will be expected to:
Develop a deep understanding of the Adaptive Pro product, including functionality, use cases, customer benefits, positioning, and pricing, in order to confidently articulate value to existing customers
Partner closely with the Kainos Adaptive Sales team to identify upsell opportunities within the existing customer base and develop targeted, account‑specific strategies to position Adaptive Pro effectively
Apply a consultative selling approach to Adaptive Pro conversations by understanding each customer’s business goals, challenges, and growth plans, and aligning the product’s capabilities to those needs
Sell the deployment value of Adaptive Pro, clearly communicating the role Kainos plays in ensuring successful adoption, configuration, and long‑term value realization—not just the product itself
Demonstrate strong customer engagement skills, including empathy, active listening, responsiveness, and creativity, to build trust, uncover opportunities, and guide customers toward solutions that deliver measurable impact
License Renewal Sales
You will be expected to:
Proactively identify upcoming Adaptive Planning license renewals within the customer base by reviewing renewal data on a rolling 90‑day lookahead
Submit renewal leads to Workday for approval, ensuring all required information is complete and accurate, including company details, renewal timing, and key customer contacts, to establish partner involvement early in the renewal cycle
Manage and complete Workday Partner Contribution Checklists for accepted leads by selecting, submitting, and tracking qualifying activities throughout the renewal lifecycle to support partner influence and successful renewal outcomes
Work closely with Workday Customer Success Managers (CSMs), who own the commercial transaction and revenue motion, to support renewals through strong customer relationships, timely engagement, and clear demonstration of partner value
Maintain strong, ongoing customer relationships ahead of renewal to reduce churn risk, surface potential concerns early, and position Kainos as a trusted partner throughout the renewal process
