About the Team

You'll join the Global Procurement & Sourcing team at Workday. We manage the end-to-end Source-to-Pay process, connecting the people who need goods and services across the company with the suppliers who provide them. Our team handles a high volume of sourcing projects every day, so we rely on clear processes and close teamwork to keep everything moving smoothly. What makes this team fun to be part of is the variety: one day you might be discussing a new supplier agreement, the next you might be reviewing a contract or solving a tricky supply issue. You'll work with people across Workday and see your work create a direct, visible impact on the business.

About the Role

As an Express Sourcing Specialist, you play a key role on the Global Procurement & Sourcing team. You help keep our Source-to-Pay process running by managing a high volume of low-to-medium dollar sourcing projects from start to finish, in a fast-moving environment where no two days look the same.

• Review projects for supplier-related risks and look for ways to reduce them
• Run low-complexity RFQs and quick bids to find suppliers that offer the best value
• Use preferred and existing suppliers whenever possible
• Meet service level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) for finishing projects efficiently
• Keep procurement systems accurate and up to date

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.
