Overview

We help the world run better. At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we will 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.

Role Overview

The Solution Sales Executive (SSE) is a strategic sales role that combines deep SAP expertise, business acumen, and end-to-end domain knowledge of the SAP Customer Experience LoB cloud to drive revenue, customer success, accelerate adoption of innovation (especially AI), and position the organisation as a market leader. The SSE shapes transformative solutions and delivers measurable value to customers through thought leadership, innovation, and strategic execution—supporting both specific CX LoB and the overall “SAP Business Suite” strategy. We are specifically looking for candidates with strong CX domain expertise and a track record of delivering CX transformation.

Key Responsibilities

• Account Ownership & Strategy: Serve as the CX LoB owner for assigned accounts, developing and executing strategic account plans that align with customer goals, business objectives and the broader account plans of the account team.
• Drive the End-to-End Customer Value Journey with Domain Expertise: Provide domain expertise and thought leadership in the solution area to understand and address high-priority business challenges. Lead end-to-end process mapping and the customer value journey, owning the transformation roadmap for the LoB.
• Pipeline & Opportunity Management: Identify and develop new business opportunities within existing accounts, driving pipeline growth and meeting revenue targets.
• Product Success & Innovation: Engage early with customers when new products are launched. Lead AI and innovation initiatives (e.g., scalable PoCs, partner co-investments).
• Enablement, Demos & Prototypes: Support solution advisors to ensure demo system readiness and manage enablement programmes. Collaborate with Demo & Learning teams to provide updated assets and trial environments for scalable enablement programmes, as well as customised demos, POCs and prototypes with customer-specific data.
• Value Proposition & Executive Engagement: Collaborate with value advisors to craft compelling narratives that articulate ROI, value leakage, and competitive advantages. Conduct strategic discovery and workshops, and deliver persuasive pitches that present solutions to distinct customer business and buying-centre challenges to accelerate executive buy-in and drive demand independently of RFPs.
• Commercial Negotiations: Navigate complex pricing and contractual discussions, balancing client expectations with organisational profitability and cloud revenue growth.
• Adoption & Consumption: Support Customer Success Management (CSM) communities, secure references, and manage escalations. Collaborate with CS and CS&D adoption teams to ensure successful delivery of solutions and services, monitor outcomes, and drive continuous improvement to maximise customer value.
• Customer Success & Field Impact: Own CX LoB deal cycles, work hand in hand with the Customer Success Manager (CSM) team, and organise enablement and executive engagement. Elevate customer discussions to prioritise investment and drive measurable outcomes.
• Relationship Building & Governance: Drive C-suite engagement and Buying Centre alignment by fostering long-term, high-value relationships and converting executives into advocates and brand ambassadors. Conduct Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with customers and internal stakeholders, focusing on solution adoption, innovation, risks and opportunities.
• Ecosystem & Partner Engagement: Own relationships with strategic consulting partners (e.g., Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, EY) and with VARs to co-innovate, develop joint go-to-market strategies, and shape disruptive solutions. Maintain direct, high-quality relationships with partner account leads.
• Collaboration & Orchestration: Align closely with Sales, CSM, and Marketing to ensure SSE impact is fully integrated into the go-to-market engine through a tailored GTM approach. Drive joint accountability and coordination across internal stakeholders to maximise market impact.
• Competitive & Industry Expertise: Maintain deep technical and functional expertise across SAP solutions. Stay at the forefront of emerging technologies and competitive trends to craft differentiated solutions that win in the market.

Qualifications & Competencies

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Information Technology, or related field.
• Management consulting profile with 10-15 years\' industry or practitioner experience; executive relationship-building skills with proven C-suite influence.
• B2B enterprise experience with multi-stakeholder SaaS cycles within the CX area, plus top-tier consulting and deep industry expertise.
• Proven experience in account management, solution sales, or customer success roles.
• Strong understanding of solution sales, customer value realisation, and account planning methodologies; track record in expansion selling (account growth).
• Deep SAP and domain expertise, with a strong understanding of AI and innovation trends.
• Maps value levers and tell a quantified ROI story and create a compelling business case.
• Strategic thinking, business acumen, relationship building and client advocacy skills.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management abilities.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a matrixed environment and influence without direct authority.
• Analytical mindset with a focus on problem-solving and continuous improvement.
