Full Job Description
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.


What You Bring

  • Deep industry expertise: 6+ years in Manufacturing, Energy & Natural Resources, Consumer Products, or Professional Industries - with operational-level knowledge of where processes break and where transformation creates real value.
  • 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.


Where You Belong

You will join SAP's Customer Industry Solutions (CIS) team - a global group of industry experts at the intersection of deep domain knowledge and cutting-edge AI engineering. The role demands both rare domain depth and the ability to influence engineering teams, product managers, and customer executives. Guiding others to define sharper use cases, ask better value questions, and close the gap between AI potential and business reality is an explicit expectation at this level.
