Job Description

What you'll bring

This is a role for an experienced SAP project manager who independently leads end-to-end customer implementations, bringing strong delivery discipline and the ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders.

• Proven ability to independently manage SAP customer-facing projects — from scoping and planning through to go-live and customer acceptance
• Skilled at scope management, project scheduling, and tracking delivery against defined plans and quality expectations
• Track record of coordinating across customers, partners, and internal teams throughout the full project lifecycle
• Ability to manage risks, drive conflict resolution, and keep complex engagements on track
• Comfortable applying agile project management approaches alongside structured delivery methodologies
• Degree is required for this role.
• Fluency in French is required for this role.

We also look for people who build trust naturally, communicate with clarity, keep the customer at the centre of what they do, and bring emotional intelligence and genuine problem-solving ability to the challenges they face.

In addition to the skills and experience specific to this role, all positions at SAP require candidates who are comfortable using AI tools — including agentic AI — in their day-to-day work, from crafting effective inputs and automating routine tasks, to evaluating AI-generated outputs for quality and driving adoption of AI practices within their teams.

What you'll build

You will manage end-to-end SAP project delivery for assigned customers, owning quality, schedule, and stakeholder satisfaction across the full implementation lifecycle.

• Lead all phases of the project lifecycle — from initial scoping and planning through execution, go-live, and customer acceptance
• Manage project schedules, budgets, and deliverables, keeping scope, quality, and stakeholder expectations aligned throughout
• Serve as the trusted delivery partner for your customers, building strong relationships and resolving issues before they escalate
• Coordinate internal teams, partners, and customer stakeholders to ensure seamless, accountable delivery
• Apply time-boxed engagement orchestration and agile practices to adapt plans to changing customer needs
• Identify and manage project risks proactively, escalating where needed and driving resolution to protect delivery outcomes
• Support pre-sales activities by contributing to project proposals and scoping discussions for new customer engagements

Where you belong

You will join the Services - Delivery Management team, a group focused on delivering successful SAP implementations for customers across the Swiss market unit. This is a role with real ownership — you manage your projects end to end and are the person customers rely on to get things done. Based at SAP's Zurich office at The Circle, you will be part of a global delivery community that values trust, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

your curiosity, customer empathy, and bias for outcomes. If you love solving tough problems, collaborating across teams, and learning fast, you'll thrive here-your strengths matter more than years of experience.
