About the Role

Evisort is seeking a strategic operator and builder to join our team as a Principal, Strategy & Operations – GTM. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of data, execution, and growth strategy.

Evisort operates like a startup—with the urgency, ownership, and scrappiness that comes with it—but within the scale and structure of the Workday ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-moving, early-stage environments and is ready to architect and scale the operating model of an AI-native SaaS business entering its next phase of growth.

In this role, you will partner cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product, and Finance to design scalable processes, architect the operational infrastructure for our go-to-market teams, and drive execution across key growth initiatives. You’ll manage projects end-to-end—from framing the problem to delivering impact—and serve as a thought partner to executives by translating data into clear, actionable insights that guide critical decisions.

You bring a deep understanding of SaaS growth models, GTM motions (especially in AI), and key success metrics with the ability to uncover expansion opportunities for growth . You balance attention to detail with strategic thinking, and you know how to use data and structure to move the business forward.

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.

Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
