About the Team

Sana is an AI lab building superintelligence for work.

We believe organizations can accomplish their missions faster when teams can effortlessly access knowledge, automate repetitive work, and learn anything with the help of agentic AI.

As part of Workday, we are committed to building AI that augments people.

If that’s a mission that excites you, you’re in the right place.

About the Role

Our GTM team has a unique mission: to help organizations realize the transformative value that Sana’s products can deliver across industries and geographies. This role blends commercial acumen, strategic vision, and a deep understanding of customer needs.

We’re looking for entrepreneurial sales talent to help bring Sana to the world. As a GTM Manager (Account Executive), you will play a pivotal role in guiding opportunities through the entire sales journey—from uncovering new opportunities and shaping solutions, to closing impactful deals. You’ll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and strategy teams to ensure Sana’s offerings address the evolving challenges of the world’s leading enterprises. Through partnership and insight, you’ll enable customers to unlock new levels of performance and success with Sana.

Sana is leading the way in an unprecedented time, with AI enabling change that will be more significant than the internet revolution. In this unprecedented moment, what we do one day can be obsolete the next. This requires extreme intuition, strategic minds, bold tradeoffs, and not least, grit. For the right person, it's equally challenging as it is rewarding, as we're doing something every day worth recounting to future generations.

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.
