About this role
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. The Opportunity Enterprise software is undergoing the most significant transformation in its history. The shift from transactional systems to autonomous, AI-driven business platforms is fundamentally redefining how organizations operate, make decisions, and create value. Finance sits at the center of this transformation. We are seeking an exceptional executive to lead the next generation of SAP S/4HANA Finance by bringing together Product Management, User Experience, and Engineering into a single AI-first organization. This leader will not simply manage an existing portfolio — they will redefine how enterprise financial software is conceived, built, delivered, and continuously improved through artificial intelligence. This executive will be responsible for one of SAP's largest cloud businesses, serving thousands of customers globally and enabling the financial operations of many of the world's leading enterprises. The mandate is to transform traditional ERP into an intelligent, autonomous finance platform where AI agents collaborate with finance professionals to accelerate decisions, automate work, increase compliance, and unlock entirely new business capabilities. Reporting directly to the Global General Manager and Chief Product Officer, this leader will shape product strategy, engineering execution, customer innovation, and organizational transformation while building a culture where AI is embedded in every aspect of product development and customer value creation. The Role This position carries end-to-end accountability for strategy, execution, innovation, customer success, and organizational leadership across the SAP S/4HANA Finance portfolio. The successful executive will establish a long-term vision that extends well beyond feature delivery. They will define how finance evolves from a system of record into a system of intelligence—one that continuously learns, reasons, predicts, and acts on behalf of finance organizations. Success will require balancing customer commitments with long-term platform investments while accelerating innovation across Core Finance, Financial Close, Treasury, Revenue Accounting, Tax, Compliance, Financial Planning integrations, and emerging AI-driven capabilities. Every investment should reinforce a unified architecture and a simplified customer experience rather than adding incremental complexity. This leader will be expected to build an organization that thinks differently about software. Rather than measuring success by features delivered, the organization will focus on business outcomes, customer adoption, autonomous workflows, and measurable productivity gains enabled through AI. Leading the AI Transformation
The defining responsibility of this role is leading the transformation of both the product portfolio and the organization into an AI-first operating model. This executive will establish AI not as an isolated capability but as the foundation of how products are envisioned, engineered, operated, and experienced. They will champion the evolution from traditional transactional applications toward intelligent systems capable of reasoning, planning, and executing increasingly complex financial processes with appropriate human oversight. The vision extends beyond embedding generative AI into user interfaces. It includes creating an ecosystem of specialized AI agents that collaborate across finance
