Job Description

We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

What you'll build

We are seeking a highly motivated executive communications professional to join our dynamic team. This role is crucial in shaping and conveying senior executives’ vision, strategy, and key messages to various internal and external stakeholders.

What you'll do

In this role, you would:

  • Prepare the senior executive for communications engagements with a wide range of stakeholders, including media, employees, government officials, investors, and industry analysts.

  • Support the development and implementation of comprehensive communication strategies for a senior SAP executive, ensuring alignment with the company's strategy and values.
  • Craft clear, authentic, and engaging messages for the executive’s internal and external communications engagements.

  • Transform complex business and technical topics into high-quality content and storylines for audiences unfamiliar with SAP.

  • Help monitor and analyze macroeconomic and sociopolitical trends to provide strategic advice and insights to the CEO .

What you bring

  • 2-5 years of experience in PR, executive communications, or media relations (agency or in house).

  • Excellent writing, editing, and verbal communication skills in English and German, with a strong feel for tone and audience.

  • Proven ability to translate complex business and technology topics into clear, engaging narratives for non expert audiences.

  • Strong interpersonal and intercultural skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders.

  • High level of commitment, resilience, and flexibility, including occasional early mornings, evenings, and short notice requests around key executive engagements.

  • Ability to work effectively under pressure, manage multiple priorities in a fast paced environment, and handle sensitive information with professionalism and discretion.

  • Curiosity about socio political, economic, and technological developments and their impact on business and society.

  • Familiarity with the software industry and software based solutions; understanding of SAP's strategy and portfolio is a strong plus.

Where you belong

You'll be joining a highly collaborative and skilled team of communications professionals with a wide range of specialist areas and expertise. No two days will be the same, but this team works as one to ensure our executive is fully prepared for every kind of engagement. It's a fast paced environment with unique opportunities to expand your network, learn about cutting edge technology, and grow. You’re a team player who is also comfortable working independently, and you see every challenge as a chance to develop your skills.
