The Work

The SAP Edge - AI Lead, is a senior, high-impact role responsible for identifying, embedding, and scaling artificial intelligence capabilities across Accenture SAP EDGE's sales, solution architecture, and delivery functions. This leader sits at the intersection of GenAI tooling, SAP domain expertise, and operational performance - translating rapidly evolving AI technology into measurable efficiency gains that reduce cost-to-sell, accelerate time-to-solution, and protect margin on every client engagement.

This is a builder's role. The SAP Edge - AI Lead will shape SAP EDGE's AI capability from the ground up, working closely with GTM, Pre-Sales, Delivery, and Technology leaders to ensure every initiative is grounded in real workflow impact - not theory. The mandate is clear: make our people faster, make our solutions sharper, and make our delivery more profitable through the intelligent application of AI.

The AI Lead is accountable across four strategic pillars:

• AI Strategy & Roadmap - Define and own EDGE's AI capability roadmap, aligned to GTM priorities and delivery realities.
• Tooling Identification & Embedding - Evaluate, pilot, and scale AI tools across pre-sales, solutioning, and delivery workflows.
• Operational Performance - Drive quantifiable efficiency outcomes: reduced pursuit costs, faster time-to-value, improved margins.
• Enablement & Change Management - Upskill teams, build adoption habits, and create feedback loops that sustain AI-led improvement.
