Field Chief Technology Officer

Workato as a Field Chief Technology Officer (CTO), where you will serve as the senior technology voice to our largest customers and the market. You will shape how the world's largest enterprises adopt AI and automation at scale, influence executive committees, and bring field intelligence back to inform Workato's product roadmap and go-to-market strategy. Your success will be measured by your ability to build trusted executive relationships, influence strategic customer outcomes, accelerate enterprise platform adoption, and position Workato as the category leader in enterprise AI and automation.

Serve as a primary spokesperson at industry events and author keynotes and strategic content that establish Workato as a leader in enterprise AI execution.

Commercial experience on either side of the table. Strongly preferred: executive-level experience at an enterprise software vendor selling into the Fortune 500 (iPaaS, AI/ML, cloud platforms, data, ERP, or adjacent infrastructure). Also compelling: a customer-facing operator role in which you regularly represented your company's products, platform, and capabilities to enterprise customers, advisory boards, and industry analysts. Either way, you understand how executive buying decisions are made

Responsibilities

• Establish and maintain trusted executive relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and Boards at top strategic accounts, leading executive briefings and strategic visioning sessions.
• Advise customers on enterprise AI adoption, intelligent automation, and organizational readiness, helping executive teams define pragmatic roadmaps for sustainable business transformation.

Requirements

• Naturally curious and commercially minded, energized by helping customers solve complex strategic challenges, with the judgment and executive maturity the world's largest enterprises expect
• Deep fluency in enterprise integration architecture, AI and agentic systems, data platforms, cloud architecture, and the modern enterprise application ecosystem (Salesforce, SAP, Workday, ServiceNow, NetSuite, Oracle, Microsoft)
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, influencing without formal authority, navigating matrixed organizations, and moving at the pace of a high-growth platform company
• 15+ years of senior technology leadership, including 5+ years at the C-suite or equivalent executive level
• You are a rare profile: an enterprise operator with genuine commercial range. You have led transformation inside a Fortune 500 organization, and you know how to represent a platform to executive buyers, whether you built that muscle on the vendor side or by carrying your own company's capabilities to its largest customers. You understand how executive technology decisions are made, how enterprise transformation succeeds, and what it takes to create lasting business value
• A compelling storyteller and communicator, with executive presence proven through Board work, public speaking, analyst engagement, media, or published thought leadership

Preferred

• Demonstrated success leading large-scale digital transformation with measurable business outcomes
