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 do:

As a Solution Advisor Expert in Enterprise Performance Management within the APAC Office of CFO (oCFO) Black Belt team, you will serve as the trusted domain authority and go-to expert for solution and product-related guidance across the sales organization.

• Shape value propositions that link planning, consolidation and tax management capabilities to measurable outcomes (close-cycle reduction, forecast accuracy, scenario agility, planning and tax management process standardization).

• Orchestrate and execute tailored demos and POVs across EPM scenarios, including: legal and management consolidation; intercompany matching and eliminations; multi-currency translation; ownership and methods, non-controlling interests, and consolidation of investments; group-level journals and reclassifications; matrix consolidations; disclosure-ready reporting; and integrated planning-to-report processes.
• Guide customers on EPM roadmap and architecture, including harmonization of actuals; consolidation and planning data models; governance and controls across entities and functions to enable xP&A; and integration with SAP S/4HANA Finance and enterprise data platforms.
• Ensure smooth transition of customer engagements to implementation partners and SAP Services teams for successful delivery and value realization
• Continue engaging customers post-sale to reinforce the SAP vision, support adoption, and build momentum toward renewals and expansion

What you bring:

• 10+ years of experience working within EPM solution domain, including 5-6 years in SAP EPM solutions
• Proven experience working with large enterprise and upper mid-market customers, including executive-level stakeholders
• Experience working across APAC markets, with an understanding of cultural, regulatory, and business diversity across multiple countries

• Legacy-to-cloud planning modernization (e.g., BPC to SAC Planning) and best practices for process design, data, and governance.
• Broad solution understanding of SAP’s overall software portfolio and how Office of CFO and EPM solutions integrate into an end-to-end enterprise architecture
• Hands-on consulting or implementation experience, with the ability to translate delivery experience into credible, value-based sales conversations considered a significant advantage
• Proven ability to create compelling storylines, themes, and value-based narratives tailored to executive audiences
• Ability to quickly understand customer business goals and ensure they remain central to recommended solutions and engagement strategies
• Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills, with confidence engaging senior executives
• Ability to operate effectively in a complex, matrixed, and virtual team environment across regions
• High levels of energy, professionalism, and passion in all customer interactions
• Willingness to travel approximately 20–50%
