Company Description

Job Description

What you'll bring

You have direct experience with compensation or HR data — you know how pay decisions are made, what the data behind them looks like, and what it takes to manage that information responsibly at scale. You bring technical depth in data engineering and analytics and work effectively whilst demonstrating independence.

  • Hands-on experience with compensation or HR datasets, including how pay structures are modelled, analysed, and reported
  • Deep data engineering skills — pipeline design and the ability to build scalable, reproducible analytical frameworks
  • Functional experience delivering BI reporting and self-service analytics to senior and executive audiences
  • An understanding of responsible data practices and governance when working with sensitive employee data
  • Experience applying agentic AI and AI-assisted automation to reduce manual effort and improve process efficiency
  • Degree or higher preferred in a quantitative field

We also look for people who think strategically, understand the business, and can bring others along with them — combining influencing skills and emotional intelligence with the ability to work through complex problems confidently.

In addition to the skills and experience specific to this role, all positions at SAP require candidates who are comfortable using AI tools — including agentic AI — in their day-to-day work, from crafting effective inputs and automating routine tasks, to evaluating AI-generated outputs for quality and driving adoption of AI practices within their teams.

What you'll build

You'll establish the reporting capability at the centre of SAP's Total Rewards function — defining the architecture, standards, and frameworks that replace ad hoc reporting with a scalable model for over 100,000 employees globally.

  • Design and implement the reporting architecture for repeatable Total Rewards queries, including Business Data Cloud integrations, AI-generated dashboards, and HTML reporting solutions
  • Build automated reporting for compensation cycles and executive audiences, reducing manual effort and time to insight
  • Establish data modelling standards that make outputs reproducible, consistent, and shareable across the team
  • Develop AI-based tooling and agentic workflows that remove repetitive manual tasks and free the team for higher-value work
  • Create self-service scripts and documentation frameworks that reduce ad hoc demand and enable knowledge transfer
  • Act as functional lead — setting the technical standard, defining quality benchmarks for analyst output, and raising the team's overall capability

Where you belong

This role sits within SAP's People & Culture organisation, inside the Total Rewards function — responsible for compensating over 100,000 people globally. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across HR and Finance, influencing how SAP designs the HR products it sells to customers. The team is building a dedicated analytics function for the first time, which means real scope to define how it operates. People who thrive here are proactive, build strong cross-functional relationships, and are energised by working where the patterns don't yet exist. The role is based at SAP's UK headquarters in Feltham, with hybrid working available.
