• Product success & innovation – lead go‑to‑market efforts for new products and capabilities, engage early with customers to validate concepts, capture feedback, and shape product roadmaps, with a focus on AI and other innovation initiatives.
• Enablement, demos & prototypes – ensure demo systems, trial environments, and enablement assets are production‑ready; support solution advisors and learning teams with scalable training and tailored demos.
• Value proposition & executive engagement – co‑create executive‑level narratives and ROI analyses, lead strategic discovery workshops, and accelerate buying decisions beyond formal RFP cycles.
• Commercial negotiations – lead complex pricing, contract, and cloud revenue model discussions, balancing customer expectations with profitability and long‑term strategic value.
• Adoption & consumption – partner with Customer Success and adoption teams to drive usage, monitor consumption metrics, manage escalations, secure references, and implement continuous improvement actions.
• Customer success & field impact – own supply chain‑application deal cycles and renewal negotiations, drive end‑to‑end field engagement, and deliver measurable outcomes tied to KPIs.
• Relationship building & governance – cultivate C‑suite and buying‑center relationships, convert sponsors into advocates, and run Quarterly Business Reviews focused on adoption, innovation, risk mitigation, and opportunity identification.
• Ecosystem & partner engagement – manage alliances with consulting and systems integrator partners, co‑develop joint solutions, and maintain close partner account‑level relationships.
• Collaboration & orchestration – orchestrate cross‑functional execution with Sales, Product, Marketing, Solution Architects, and Delivery teams to ensure account strategies are integrated into the GTM engine.
• Competitive & industry expertise – maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of SAP and adjacent solutions, market and competitor trends, and position differentiated solutions that address industry‑specific challenges.
