Workiva started with an idea: to make complex collaboration easy. We offer a cloud-based office productivity suite and integrated platform for authoring and filing complex regulatory reports. Our platform enables customers to produce complex documents involving hundreds of contributors, on extremely tight deadlines, leveraging their company's most sensitive data, and where every single word and number must be exactly right.

As Director of Product Management for Connected Processes, you will be responsible for the products and tools within our platform that help our customers manage the chaos of bringing together many people, processes, and data sources to produce an end document or report.

While we pride ourselves on the next-generation collaborative solutions we have created, we are never satisfied. We have some great ideas and we need a leader who can form a vision for the future of our collaboration solutions and lead the team to make it a reality. This role will play a central role in charting the future for our entire platform.
