• Build and steward long‑term strategic relationships with key accounts and C‑level stakeholders, serving as a trusted partner across the full customer lifecycle — from initial engagement through to adoption and expansion.
• Serve as the subject matter expert and internal escalation point for complex SAP S/4HANA and Finance scenarios, providing guidance to account teams, partners, and customers alike.
• Own the development and continuous improvement of reusable advisory assets, raising the quality and consistency of the broader Solution Advisory practice.
• Coach and mentor colleagues within the Solution Advisory team, building capability across SAP S/4HANA product knowledge, customer engagement, and competitive differentiation.
• Represent SAP as a recognised thought leader at community events, industry forums, and webinars, actively shaping SAP's market narrative within the Finance and ERP solutions space.
