What You Will Do

  • Lead customer innovation engagements: Run discovery workshops and FDE-style boot camps with business and IT stakeholders to surface, qualify, and prioritize Industry AI opportunities capable of fundamentally transforming how customers operate and grow.
  • Define high-value Industry AI use cases: Translate business challenges into implementable AI solutions - applying AI tools in the definition process itself to sharpen requirements, agent architecture, KPIs, and quantified value metrics.
  • Own the end-to-end lifecycle: Drive use cases from discovery to deployment - defining requirements, building prototypes and acceptance criteria, partnering with engineering throughout, and validating business outcomes.
  • Deliver value rapidly: Apply a fast, iterative model that puts measurable customer value in production within weeks, not quarters.
  • Build the Industry AI portfolio: Turn customer learnings into industry-specific AI assets and accelerators - with documented financial and operational value, reusable across SAP globally.

  • AI use case expertise: Hands-on experience defining Agentic AI solutions with a clear focus on data readiness, process fit, and measurable outcomes.
  • Product Management or consulting excellence: Proven track record in product definition and delivery, or in leading business transformation initiatives - translating complex challenges into structured programs that deliver at the senior stakeholder level.
  • Customer engagement and emotional intelligence: Demonstrated ability to lead executive workshops, FDE-style discovery sessions, and co-innovation engagements - navigating complex organizational dynamics with emotional intelligence and building trust at every level.
  • Strategic thinking and complex problem solving: Ability to cut through ambiguity, identify the highest-impact AI opportunities, and chart a clear path from complex business challenge to executable solution.
  • Business acumen and value orientation: Ability to translate AI opportunities into quantified business cases - with realistic KPIs, ROI timelines, and a clear understanding of how value is created and measured in the businesses you serve.
  • 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 influencing skills: Clear, concise English - written and verbal - able to produce sharp requirements documentation, lead executive-level discussions, and influence diverse stakeholders toward a shared direction.
