Role Summary

The Senior SAP Sales Professional is a seasoned, outcomes-driven sales leader responsible for owning and winning competitive SAP opportunities from Phase 0 through contract execution. This individual serves as the primary commercial and solutioning anchor across the full Accenture organization - bridging Sales, Delivery, Technology, Industry, and Alliance teams - while cultivating a high-impact external SAP ecosystem.

• Drive qualification, win strategy development, and competitive positioning at each stage of the pursuit lifecycle
• Influence client stakeholders at C-suite, VP, and program sponsor levels to shape requirements and evaluation criteria in Accenture's favor

• Act as the connective tissue between sales, presales, and delivery functions to maintain deal momentum and solution integrity throughout the pursuit

Ecosystem & Alliance Management

• Drive partner-sourced leads and joint proposal collaboration to enhance win probability

Client Value & Outcome Delivery
