Strategic Client Origination Executive – SAP Contractors Brand (EMEA)

Build enterprise connections. Lead high-level engagement. Drive SAP client growth.

Europe | SAP Enterprise Programmes | Strategic Sales Leadership

Structured origination. Strategic accounts. Enterprise opportunity.

Ellis Recruitment Group is expanding its Strategic Client Origination (SCO) function with a focus on the SAP enterprise market across EMEA.

We’re seeking a senior business developer to lead origination efforts for our SAP Contractors brand – targeting end users and delivery partners across Europe.

This role is centred on consultative client engagement, ecosystem alignment, and value-led conversations that lead to first placements and long-term accounts.

What you'll focus on

• Targeting SAP transformation programmes across EMEA enterprise clients

• Developing trusted relationships with programme leaders, global process owners, and senior stakeholders

• Aligning with SAP ecosystem partners, system integrators, and cloud platforms to gain market access

• Leading client origination from first contact through to handover

• Supporting structured delivery and maintaining strategic positioning post-deal

What sets this apart

This is not a dual-role desk. The focus is entirely on origination – engaging with clients at the right level, at the right moment, with the right message. You’ll help position Ellis and our SAP Contractors brand as a trusted SAP talent partner, and feed demand into either our 360 consultants or delivery crew, depending on the opportunity.

What you bring

• Background in SAP recruitment, ERP client development, or enterprise technology sales

• Experience selling into or navigating SAP-led transformations

• Knowledge of EMEA’s major markets and client maturity models

• Gravitas to engage at senior stakeholder level and convert insight into opportunity

• Self-sufficiency, resilience, and commercial acumen

Why now?

With increased investment in SAP S/4HANA migration, public cloud adoption, and business transformation across Europe, client demand is high – but entry points are competitive. SCO allows us to lead with strategy, not spam, and open doors that convert into multi-placement value.

This role is integral to that approach and central to the next phase of growth for our SAP Contractors brand in EMEA.

Engage with purpose. Originate with clarity. Grow strategically.
