Overview
Sales Development Associate - English Speaker (temporary contract)
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. You\'ll gain constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.
What you\'ll do
As a Sales Development Associate, you will be the first connection between SAP and organizations exploring how to transform the way they work. Your role is to identify prospects, start meaningful conversations, and qualify opportunities that help businesses on their journey of change.
You will introduce organizations to SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX—two solutions that empower companies to rethink, adapt, and continuously improve how they run. With SAP Signavio, organizations can analyze and optimize their processes to respond faster to change. With SAP LeanIX, they gain transparency into their IT landscape, ensuring the right technologies support their strategy. Together, these solutions give companies the clarity and confidence to make better decisions.
This role makes a difference because the conversations you begin help companies become more agile, sustainable, and innovative. By guiding prospects toward solutions that improve how they operate, you will indirectly impact industries and communities—whether through better services, smarter use of technology, or more efficient operations.
You will work closely with sales and marketing teams to design outreach strategies, build pipeline, and ensure that prospects clearly understand the value of business transformation. Success in this role will require curiosity, strong communication skills, and a drive to learn.
This is not only an entry point into sales—it is a chance to contribute to SAP\'s mission to help the world run better and improve people\'s lives. By opening the door to transformation, you will help businesses unlock their true potential.
