Workday Product Owner – Benefits

This is not a traditional product role. As the Workday Benefits Product Owner, you will define and drive the strategic direction of our Benefits technology ecosystem by shaping how compensation, benefits, and employee data come together to power business decisions and elevate the employee experience.

Serving as the executive-facing product leader for Benefits systems, you will sit within HR while operating at the intersection of strategy, technology, and operations. You will own the roadmap end-to-end, influence HR priorities, and help lead delivery within a scaled Agile environment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on ownership, brings a strong point of view, and wants to leave a lasting impact on how a growing organization leverages Workday.

What Youââ¬â¢ll Do:

Own the Strategy

• Collaborate with the stakeholder to evolve the multi-year vision, strategy, and roadmap for Benefits technology

• Partner with senior HR and business leaders to align product direction with HR priorities and growth goals

• Serve as the voice of the business, influencing decisions across HR, IT, Finance, and external partners

• Establish and track KPIs to measure product success, adoption, and business impact

Lead Product Execution

• Own and prioritize a complex product backlog, balancing strategic initiatives, regulatory needs, and operational improvements

• Lead engagement within the Agile Release Train (ART), including PI planning, sprint execution, and release alignment

• Translate high-level business needs into clear, actionable user stories and scalable solutions

• Ensure high-quality delivery through rigorous testing, validation, and continuous improvement

Drive Integration & Optimization

• Oversee the ecosystem of integrations across Workday, payroll, finance, and third-party benefits providers

• Continuously evaluate system performance, data integrity, and user experience to identify opportunities for optimization

• Champion automation, simplification, and innovation across Total Rewards processes

Elevate the Employee Experience & Governance

• Design solutions that improve the end-to-end employee journey across compensation and benefits

• Ensure system compliance with regulatory requirements while minimizing operational friction

• Proactively identify risks and implement scalable governance and controls

What You Bring

• Proven experience owning and driving product strategy in a complex, cross-functional environment

• Deep expertise in compensation, incentives, benefits and supporting technologies

• Strong experience with Workday (highly preferred) or similar HCM platforms

• Demonstrated success operating within Agile frameworks at scale (SAFe or similar)

• Ability to influence senior stakeholders and translate business strategy into technology outcomes

• Analytical mindset with a track record of using data to drive decisions and outcomes

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelorââ¬â¢s degree or certifications preferred
