So, if you want to inspire a brighter work day for everyone, including yourself, you’ve found a match in Workday, and we hope to be a match for you too. About the Team The Compliance & Integrity team (CIT) within Legal, Compliance, and Corporate Affairs (LCCA) exists to do the right thing for Workday — and to enable every Workmate and customer to do the same. We are trusted, proactive partners and the go-to team for protecting Workday, its customers, and sensitive data while enabling innovation and growth. Our work spans Workday's core pillars of Responsible AI, integrity and ethics, and privacy and data protection. We anticipate integrity and compliance challenges rather than simply reacting to them, using self-service resources and scalable processes to stay ahead of regulatory trends and emerging risks. We believe that proactive risk mitigation speeds up innovation rather than slowing it down — making integrity a true differentiator for Workday. What makes this team special is a culture built on trust, transparency, and collaboration. We operate as one unified, cross-disciplinary team of leaders, lawyers, and specialists who partner with the business, LCCA, and customers to amplify impact. We celebrate ethical decision-making, encourage speaking up, and are committed to making integrity a lived culture — not a check-the-box exercise.
