Sales and Support is the largest function at Workiva, accounting for about two-fifths of all employees, which underscores the company’s emphasis on customer engagement and service. Engineering follows closely with more than 700 team members focused on developing and maintaining the platform’s technology stack. Marketing and Product, Business Management, and Finance and Administration collectively represent a meaningful slice of the workforce, highlighting the need for coordinated go-to-market and operational excellence. Smaller but still significant groups in Operations, IT, Human Resources, and Program Management ensure the company’s infrastructure and people programs scale alongside growth, keeping attrition lower than hiring across most areas.
Workiva maintains a geographically diverse footprint. A significant portion of employees work remotely or in smaller satellite hubs, classified as “Other,” illustrating the firm’s flexible work model. Ames, Iowa remains the single largest physical office, while Denver, Phoenix, Des Moines, and Chicago each host sizeable teams that support regional customers and talent pools. Key metropolitan and international locations such as New York, London, and Amsterdam provide proximity to major financial markets, and the Bozeman, Montana office adds depth to its U.S. presence. This dispersion helps the company access varied talent and serve clients across multiple time zones.
