About the role

We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

What You Will Do

Build and lead the regional Industry AI team: Hire, onboard, and develop a team of Industry AI Business Process Experts — setting standards, creating growth opportunities, and building a high-performance culture from day one.

Drive priority customer engagements: Lead SAP's most strategically important Industry AI engagements in the region at the senior level — setting the agenda, guiding the team, and ensuring outcomes that transform how customers operate and grow.

Set strategy and build the practice: Define Industry AI focus areas and resource priorities for your region, establish standards and operating norms, and position the team as one of SAP's highest-performing globally.

Enable use case excellence: Capable of defining high-value Industry AI use cases directly — your primary role is to create the standards, coaching, and conditions that enable the team to do so consistently and at scale.

Own executive stakeholder relationships: Build and sustain C-suite and board-level partnerships at SAP's strategic accounts — serving as the senior trusted advisor who connects business ambition to Industry AI outcomes.

Shape SAP's global agenda from your region: Ensure customer insights and market signals from your region actively feed SAP's product roadmap, CIS priorities, and go-to-market strategy.

What You Bring

Industry expertise: 8+ years in Manufacturing, Energy & Natural Resources, Consumer Products, or Professional Industries — with the domain depth to lead senior customer conversations and credibly guide the team's thinking.

Team management and people leadership: Demonstrated track record of building and developing high-performing teams — including hiring, coaching, and performance management — leading with emotional intelligence to create an environment where experts do their best work.

Strategic thinking and complex problem solving: Ability to define the right priorities in a fast-moving landscape, cut through complexity, and make clear decisions that move both the team and customers forward.

Consulting or product leadership and financial acumen: Track record of driving complex, high-value business transformation engagements from inception to outcome — with the financial acumen to manage pipeline, P&L impact, resourcing, and business case development.

AI and use case fluency: Sufficient depth in Agentic AI and Industry AI use case design to guide the team, challenge assumptions, and engage credibly with customers on AI strategy and roadmap.

SAP platform knowledge: Strong working knowledge of SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business AI Platform, SAP Joule, Signavio, LeanIX, and clean-core, cloud-first architecture principles.

Communication and influence: Exceptional written and verbal English — able to present to boards, navigate executive-level stakeholder relationships, represent SAP externally, and inspire the team.
