About The Role
The Real Estate, Strategy and Planning team identifies and secures the locations that power Workday’s innovations. We source markets, lead site selection and due diligence (base-building infrastructure, utilities, environmental), negotiate LOIs/leases and land agreements, and drive Workday requirements with landlords and internal Workday teams. We align stakeholders, manage budgets and schedules, and deliver ready-to-build locations to our construction, operations and physical security teams.
Responsibilities:
Transaction & Market Support: Support Real Estate Managers by aggregating site selection data, drafting comparative site analyses (qualitative and quantitative), and preparing preliminary deal memos for internal review.
Project Coordination: Own the maintenance of team project trackers (timelines, budget estimates, and entitlement status) to ensure all stakeholders have up-to-date visibility on active deals.
Data Integrity & Lease Administration: Assist in auditing and updating the Corporate Lease Database, ensuring that new site information, critical dates, and financial data are accurately captured for the portfolio.
Financial & Operational Analysis: Help analyze actual spending against budgets to identify trends or variances. Assist the team in troubleshooting rent payment issues by coordinating with Accounts Payable and Finance partners.
Process Management: Help prepare funding requisition requests, route documents for signature, and compile "handoff packages" to ensure a smooth transition of projects to downstream Construction and Design teams.
Business Intelligence (Dashboards): Utilize analytics tools to create or improve business dashboards that visualize key real estate metrics, helping the team track portfolio health and efficiency.
Summer Capstone Project: Conduct a comprehensive research project benchmarking our corporate real estate organizational structure against other Fortune 500 tech companies. You will present your findings and recommendations to the leadership team at the conclusion of your internship.

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.
