You will work directly with teams at SAP. These teams include the Industry Business Unit, Customer Industry Solutions, Sales, and Pre-Sales. Your role is to support the development of AI use cases. This involves conducting scoping workshops, design assessments, feasibility assessments, and other project tasks. Your goal is to turn use case ideas into functional assistants and agents. You will guide the process to align these project deliverables with the longer-term roadmap, validate concepts through rapid experimentation, and ensure the products and projects deliver measurable business outcomes.

Where you belong

You'll shape how product management is practiced across your area and beyond it. As a Product Manager, the expectation shifts from executing well to enabling others to execute well, and from contributing to strategy to co-owning it. Working without formal authority over engineering or design is the norm; your influence comes from the quality of your thinking and the strength of your relationships. If you want broad organizational impact in product and are ready for the accountability that comes with it, this is the right fit. Skills used in this role include competitive analysis, market research, and managing product lifecycles. You will also develop product roadmaps, work through the software development life cycle, and make data-driven decisions. You will also need skills in storytelling. Customer participation is important. AI-assisted engineering is also important. High-fidelity prototyping is important too. You will ensure the quality of AI outputs, use agentic AI daily, and build capabilities for AI adoption.
