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.     What you'll build   About the Organization: The Corporate Processes & IT (CPIT) organization is responsible for evolving and executing SAP's IT strategy. We drive the internal adoption of standard applications that support end-users in the execution and re-engineering of their processes across all lines of business, with a strong focus on end-user centricity. Our objective is to accelerate co-innovation with development and extend the use of SAP standard products within SAP -- shifting focus from maintaining a heavily customized environment to optimizing processes on top of standard services. By combining technological understanding with business know-how, we act as the earliest adopter of our own solutions and the ultimate proof point in SAP's transition to a cloud company. About PP&S: Product Processes & Solutions (PP&S) is an L2 unit within CPIT responsible for driving portfolio and process transformation across SAP's product organization. Our ambition is to give SAP the fastest, most AI-driven product lifecycle in the industry. We operate across three delivery areas -- Engineering & Technology, Solution Support, and Cloud Operations -- and we are accountable for translating strategic direction into operational reality at scale. About the L3 Team: The PP&S Portfolio & Financials team is one of two cross-functional units created to operate across all PP&S delivery areas. We drive portfolio processes, ensure business excellence, implement continuous improvements, and realize the benefits of cross-unit efficiencies. Our key activities span Solution Financials and Staffing, 3rd Party Workforce Management, Portfolio Steering, and Risk Management. The team works in close partnership with PP&S unit leads and acts as the operational backbone that keeps delivery transparent, financially sound, and strategically aligned. The Role: Reporting into the PP&S Portfolio & Financials unit lead, the Senior Expert – Portfolio & Financials is a dual-scope role at the intersection of financial operations and portfolio management. This person works as a close peer to the team's senior financials expert, forming a complementary partnership: together, they cover the full breadth of the team's mandate, with this role carrying particular responsibility for connecting financial rigor to portfolio-level visibility and steering. The role also operates in close coordination with the PP&S Chief of Staff, supporting cross-unit transparency and ensuring financial and operational topics are surfaced and addressed at the right level. This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable in the numbers and in the strategic IT portfolio conversation - and who understands that in a unit like PP&S, the two are tightly connected.   Key activities:
