What you’ll do:

At SAP Sovereign Cloud Technology & Delivery, we are defining the future of deploying and running SAP cloud solutions on sovereign cloud infrastructure for public sector and regulated industries – with unparalleled security, compliance, and scale.

This is where innovation meets execution – we are looking for a stellar Development Manager with a strong engineering focus to be part of our journey, reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer.

As a Development Manager in our team, you will play a vital role in defining the process, architecture, and execution of onboarding additional SAP cloud products into the Sovereign Cloud portfolio.

To achieve these goals, you will be responsible for the performance and effectiveness of a diverse and highly functional team of professionals, spanning across multiple SAP locations in the US, Canada, Germany, and Portugal – and spanning across multiple roles and functions like DevOps engineers, infrastructure experts, technical product managers, architects, project managers, and technical documentation experts.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Accelerating the onboarding process of additional SAP products into the Sovereign Cloud portfolio while establishing co-ownership of the end-to-end product pipeline between commercial cloud development and our engineering units
• Further standardizing and establishing scaling models for product onboarding into SAP Sovereign Cloud
• Enabling new deployment options, e.g. onto Azure, GCP, or SAP Converged Cloud
• Accelerating the efficiency of setting up new Sovereign Cloud locations
• Closing the time lag between the availability of commercial and Sovereign Cloud product versions
• Building healthy cross-relationships to architects, product owners, and engineers of other SAP products and areas, including SAP Ariba, SAP HANA Cloud, SAP Business AI, SAP DataSphere, and SAP Cloud ALM
• Fostering performance and collaboration of a virtual team of professionals
• Living people management in all dimensions, including goal setting, feedback, coaching, conflict management, hiring, and team building

What you bring:

To become highly successful, you have the following expertise:

• Strong technology skills and excellent deep technical knowledge of SAP products
• Deep knowledge of SAP and the SAP solution portfolio
• Proven cloud engineering and cloud infrastructure management expertise
• Strong execution mindset and proven ability to deliver in time and quality
• Ability to build trusted relationships with key stakeholders
• Proven ability to build up and lead successful teams
• Strong methodological and conceptual skills paired with analytical thinking
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• High cultural awareness and intercultural competencies
• Proven ability to build trusted relationships with key stakeholders
• Persistence, self-motivation and willingness to work under pressure

Your work experience is as follows:

• Master’s in computer science or a relevant field
• 8+ years working experience in relevant professional software development, including in a technical and/or engineering lead role
• 3+ years leadership experience of leading an international cloud engineering team

With your strong collaborative and quality-first mindset, you are able to proactively forge the path forward, innovatively solve any challenges, and strongly collaborate with other team members across the whole organization.

You are fluent in English – both verbal and written. German language skills are a plus.

Due to the classified nature of our work, your willingness is required to subject yourself to a governmental security clearance process and thus have an EU, NATO or FIVE EYES country member nationality.
