About the Team

Workday’s legal department is seeking a high-performing legal associate who will be engaged fully, communicate openly and forge close working relationships throughout our company. We seek a confident and proactive self-starter with 3+ years of experience drafting and negotiating vendor contracts who can prioritise and manage multiple tasks and responsibilities and who enjoys working in a fast-paced and high-growth environment.

This role will have the primary function of supporting contracting with our international vendors abroad, with a particular emphasis/large volume being with our international marketing and human resource teams, and will have significant interaction with Workday’s procurement organisation and other constituent organisations (security, IT, privacy, ethics and compliance and others).

About the Role

We seek a thought leader, who can use his or her exceptional judgment and strong critical thinking and interpersonal skills to closely support our internal clients throughout the organization while balancing risks to protect Workday. It is imperative that this person thrives working independently as his/her direct manager (and the rest of the team) is US-based, although other members of the Legal department do work out of Workday’s office.

Workday is a fast-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in Pleasanton, California. The Legal Associate will provide legal support for our sourcing and procurement functions and help support Workday’s ground-breaking technology and operations.

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.
