About the Team
Join the Evisort team at Workday, where our mission is to transform how business deals get done. In a space often slowed by inefficient contract management systems, we provide an intelligent solution that helps businesses accelerate, scale, and safeguard operations — enabling legal and business professionals to drive strategic impact.
At Evisort, we’re building innovative AI technology that makes contracts searchable, actionable, and manageable — empowering teams to work smarter, reduce risk, and boost efficiency. By eliminating manual tasks and simplifying complex workflows, we help organizations make more confident decisions, faster.
We believe legal documents shouldn’t slow teams down. That’s why we’re reimagining contract management — removing friction and giving talented people the tools they need to thrive.
Our team shares a deep passion for Workday’s core values: innovation, integrity, and putting people first. If this sounds like your kind of team, we’d love to hear from you!

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.
