The Principal Product Manager, Product Management for Legal Business will be a pivotal leader, defining and driving our AI-first strategy for the legal application ecosystem. This forward-thinking role is instrumental in orchestrating Workday's product suite wherever applicable, custom innovations, and third-party technologies to construct a premier, intelligent legal operations platform. By embedding intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and generative AI into the core of our legal operations, you will unlock unprecedented business value and create truly streamlined experiences for legal, compliance, and contracting teams. The Product Manager will be part of Business Technology under Product & Technology, responsible for defining our product roadmap and designing digital and agentic legal experiences leveraging AI, agentic and core technologies.
 

What you will do:

• 12+ years of experience in product management, with a significant focus on shipping enterprise-level, technology-powered products in a B2B or SaaS environment.

• Deep domain expertise in core legal operations processes (such as contract lifecycle management, matter management, compliance, e-discovery, and intellectual property) with best practices and a vision for how AI can fundamentally transform them.

• Define and manage the legal operations and compliance roadmap through strategic collaboration with business stakeholders and Product & Technology (P&T) teams.

• Mastery in leading cross-team collaboration, effectively working with and influencing P&T, and partnering across all Business Technology towers (e.g., Finance BT, HR BT, Sales/Marketing BT, IT/Infrastructure, Data & Analytics) — not just legal-adjacent teams — to align on shared platform standards, avoid duplicative solutions, and drive complex, cross-functional product strategies and initiatives.

• Demonstrated executive presence and the confidence to respectfully challenge senior executives and legal leadership in high-stakes settings, defending product decisions with data and sound reasoning rather than simply deferring to seniority

• Consistent record of successfully integrating legal and contract management systems (preferably Workday) with other enterprise applications and data platforms.

• Familiarity with AI technology stack along with other technology market players supporting legal business, CLM or Legal-related certification(s) are a plus.
