Your success will be measured by the impact and adoption of the tools and capabilities you deliver, the developer productivity gains you enable, and your ability to align diverse stakeholders around a shared product vision.

You will work closely with software engineers, AI engineers, compliance experts, technical leads, and engineering organizations across SAP to bring innovative AI-powered solutions from concept to broad organizational adoption.

AI & Technical Product Leadership

• Collaborate closely with AI engineers and technical leads to shape the direction of AI-powered compliance capabilities.
• Help prioritize investments involving AI agents, MCP integrations, agent orchestration frameworks, retrieval systems, and developer-assistance tooling.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and industry trends to identify opportunities for product innovation.
• Guide product decisions involving AI capabilities, model integrations, evaluation frameworks, agent workflows, and developer experience considerations.
• Contribute to the definition of responsible AI practices, governance requirements, and quality standards for AI-powered tooling.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Align engineering, compliance, legal, support, and platform stakeholders around shared goals and priorities.
• Facilitate decision-making across multiple teams and organizational boundaries.
• Communicate product strategy, roadmap progress, and outcomes to senior leadership and stakeholders.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, experimentation, and data-driven decision-making.

• Familiarity with open source software governance, intellectual property compliance, or software supply chain management.

Success Characteristics

• Passion for improving developer experiences at scale.
• Strong technical curiosity and ability to engage deeply with emerging AI technologies.
• Ability to influence without direct authority across large organizations.
• Strategic mindset combined with a bias for execution and measurable outcomes.
