Company Description

Job Description

The way businesses decide to buy and get value from technology has shifted. Customers already know what AI is. What they need now is someone who understands their business well enough to tell them where AI actually helps, what it takes to get there, and why the time to move is now. At SAP, that's the work. We run the systems behind 84% of global commerce, across 25 industries and 400,000 customers worldwide, which means the problems you'll be working through are not theoretical. They're real, complex, and they matter. If you want to put your passion for AI to work somewhere it reaches the organisations making decisions that affect millions of people, this is worth a look.

What you'll bring

You independently orchestrate Partner relationships, driving revenue growth through channel sales and positioning SAP competitively within your partner ecosystem. You act as a trusted advisor who combines commercial drive with a genuine ability to enable Partners to succeed.

  • Proven ability to independently manage end-to-end Partner relationships, developing and executing multi-year business plans that drive sustainable commercial outcomes
  • Track record of driving revenue growth through indirect channels, identifying and converting opportunities across your partner portfolio
  • Skilled in channel sales, managing indirect business models and enabling Partners to grow their SAP practice and pipeline effectively
  • Ability to apply AI value selling techniques, enabling Partners to position SAP's AI capabilities compellingly across their customer base
  • Strong competitive positioning skills, supporting Partners in differentiating SAP and overcoming competitor challenges in the field
  • Degree not required for this role.
  • Fluent in both Mandarin and English

We also look for people who build trust naturally, communicate with clarity, keep the customer at the centre of what they do, and bring emotional intelligence and genuine problem-solving ability to the challenges they face.

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 will independently develop and execute multi-year Partner business plans — growing indirect revenue, enabling channel partners, and coaching Partners to win in competitive selling environments.

  • Independently develop and maintain multi-year Partner business plans aligned with SAP's strategic objectives and revenue growth targets
  • Drive revenue growth across your partner portfolio, identifying and developing opportunities that expand SAP's indirect business
  • Manage channel sales performance end-to-end, enabling Partners to build pipeline, progress opportunities, and deliver consistent commercial outcomes
  • Enable Partners to apply AI value selling, helping them position SAP's AI capabilities effectively and convert opportunities across their customer base
  • Coach and guide Partners on competitive positioning, equipping them to differentiate SAP and address competitor challenges in customer engagements
  • Manage Partner relationships with consistency and trust, acting as a reliable advisor on the SAP sales landscape and partner performance

Where you belong

You will be part of the Customer Value Group, a global community of partner management professionals dedicated to building growth-oriented Partner relationships and driving indirect commercial success. At this level you own your partner portfolio with real independence — shaping business plans, enabling Partners to compete and win, and driving the revenue outcomes that matter. It is a role where commercial acuity and partner advisory skills combine to make a direct impact.

As we transform into the autonomous enterprise, we are proactively engaging with talent who will play a key role in building the capabilities required to deliver on our 2027 priorities.
