As a part of the sales team, a Solution Advisor is the "subject matter expert" responsible for the functional and technical knowledge within the sales cycle. A Solution Advisor provides deal support by participating in discovery sessions, executive meetings and presentations and delivers software demonstrations that help the customer understand SAP's unique value proposition. In addition to deal support, the Solution Advisor participates in marketing events to generate demand, leads Design Thinking sessions, and collaborates with the broader sales team to identify whitespace opportunities at existing accounts.

We offer full-time employment from day one with practical learning applications for your role. After successful completion of the program, you are expected to lead customer discovery sessions and survey activities to uncover business challenges and opportunities for innovation.

  • A strong ability to quickly learn new concepts, adapt to changing environments, and apply knowledge to deliver results.
  • An understanding of AI fundamentals, uses, and ethics, to identify business problems solvable with AI.
