• Communicate product updates, process changes, and roadmap progress effectively through enablement sessions, documentation, and stakeholder updates.
• Actively contribute to Simplify – Standardize – Automate initiatives, identifying opportunities to reduce manual effort, improve scalability, and support the growing RISE with SAP customer volume.

What you bring:

• Strong understanding of Global Cloud Operations, IT service delivery models, and integrated business‑IT processes.
• Experience working with IT architectures, system integrations, and E2E toolchains in large‑scale enterprise environments.
• Solid knowledge of agile software development methodologies, especially SCRUM, and hands‑on experience with requirements and backlog management.
• Ability to translate complex business processes into intuitive, scalable digital solutions.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and collaboration skills in a global, interdisciplinary setup.
