Senior Demo Consultant

The Senior Demo Consultant is a strategic engineering and architectural leader within the Demo Operations team. In this role, you will be a "force multiplier" for the global presales organization. You will architect, engineer, and automate the highly complex, data-forward master demo environments (such as our flagship Avikro footprint) that empower our field Solution Consultants to seamlessly tell Workiva’s multi-solution story. You will be a key part of helping the team shift demo operations away from reactive, custom-built trial requests and toward proactive, highly scalable asset development.

What You’ll Do

• Lead major demo environment overhauls and architect "Gold Standard" multi-solution demo footprints

• Utilize advanced technical capabilities, including Python scripting, Workiva Chains, and complex API integrations, to build automated, data-forward demo environments that refresh efficiently

• Design and implement AI-powered workflows to optimize demo build and QA cycle times, and embed Workiva's native AI capabilities directly into master demo narratives

• Identify patterns in internal ticketing requests to transition team workload from reactive fixes to the creation of scalable, self-service assets

• Design and enforce clear Proof-of-Concept (POC) guidelines and technical boundaries for field SCs to follow when standard demos require customization

• Collaborate with Product Management to ensure new product features are engineered into master demo environments prior to broad release, and provide structured technical feedback regarding demo friction

• Serve as a technical lead and resource for the Demo Consulting team, driving knowledge-sharing around complex environments, advanced troubleshooting, and automation

• Practical experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., prompt engineering, AI-driven workflow automation) and CI/CD technologies (continuous integration/continuous deployment) to optimize build cycles, ensure environment stability, and accelerate time-to-market for demo assets

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep understanding of data models, complex system integrations, data migration, and SaaS architectures. Experience with Workiva implementation is highly desired

• Strong presentation, storytelling, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex business needs and technical capabilities into highly consumable, value-driven demo experiences

• Strong organizational skills and experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives to transition projects from bespoke builds to globally scalable solutions

• Self-motivated with a strong bias toward action, measurable results, and continuous operational improvement
