The Organization

ASC (Adoption Services Center) is the global consulting unit of SAP; it resides within the Customer Success & Delivery (CS&D) Board area, whose mission is to ensure that our customers adopt SAP "innovation” (both in terms of ‘solutions’ and well as ‘approaches and methodologies’). In particular, for ASC this translates (among other things) into helping SAP deliver projects with the right methodology and tools, with adherence to standard and Customer clean core principles and with solid outcomes which provide business value to our customers. Whilst ASC is organized mainly in terms of Solution Areas (where all the functional expertise of a specific solution resides) we are currently setting up a function across solution areas. This “end to end processes” unit will focus on process level consulting with emphasis on integration and interoperability between ERP and our SaaS solution areas.

What are we looking for

As part of this “end to end processes” function we are looking for experienced (senior / principal level) consultants with process expertise across at least one of the standard Signavio main processes (Source to Pay, Plan to Fulfill, Order to Cash, Acquire to Decommission…) and with solid understanding and demonstrable experience advising customers and setting up SAP projects with products/solutions/services that enable realizing such processes using SAP technology in an optimal way. Specifically, successful candidates must meet the following qualifications:

• Deep Process-level knowledge and associated consulting expertise
• Knowledge of more than one SAP solutions / products (expert in at least one)
• Ability to articulate the value proposition across SAP products/solutions supporting a given process including integration points; strong communication and influencing skills
• Ability to solution, estimate and lead the implementation of cross-products / solutions across standard ‘mega’ processes
• Demonstrable thought leadership on how more than one SAP solutions / products interoperate to provide support to key customer processes
• Solid BTP and Signavio understanding; deep expertise in either highly desired
• Demonstrable ability to influence and collaborate amongst diverse teams across the organization

What will you do

As a successful candidate you will join the team as a “business process consultant” (the standard SAP consulting billable role) under the appropriate seniority (“T”) level. It is envisaged that you will engage:

• Approximately 60% in consulting activities:
  • supporting sales and consulting sales
  • bid preparation support including solutioning and estimations
  • services delivery activities depending on the nature of the engagements (advisory, realization etc)

Depending on your main expertise you will be ‘dotted line’ assigned to the relevant Solution area to ensure that you are seamlessly integrated with the rest of the organization. Whilst these activities are the typical consulting activities, your will be expected to bring and infuse (to the rest of the teams) a process-oriented mindset. A good measure of your success will be to be invited to lead discussions on flagship customer cases precisely because of the ability to ‘talk processes’ rather than just solutions

• the remaining approx. 40% in governance and thought leadership tasks like:
  • Finding, organizing and producing assets and collaterals related to your process and cross solution are expertise
  • Align with PE (product engineering) on product features and feedback
  • Developing a community across solution areas where process knowledge and mindset will be promoted
  • Participate / lead key process-relevant initiatives within the CS&D Board Area

Additional skills / formal qualifications

• Proven personal track record as a valued SAP consultant with experience in complex projects with global scope / delivery structure
• Strategic thinking and business acumen, with the ability to align project and program objectives with overall business goals
• Strong communication, summarization and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage and manage internal & external stakeholders at all levels
• Ability to work effectively in a global and multicultural environment, demonstrating cultural sensitivity and adaptability
• Strong problem-solving, negotiation, and decision-making skills, with the ability to navigate complex challenges and drive effective solutions
• Ability to influence diverse stakeholders (customers, partners, MU/Regional counterparts) and take initiative and ownership in situations without having direct formal authority
• Solid understanding of Clear Core and RISE methodologies
• Proficiency in business process modelling tools
• Fluency in English both verbally and in writing
• Mobility: willing to travel (share varies, but can at periods be 100%)
• University degree(s) in a relevant field
