Company Description

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. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

Job Description

What you’ll do:

As a Product Manager for Industry AI in Consumer Industries, you will define and drive new AI use cases in partnership with our customers across Retail, Consumer Products, and Wholesale Distribution. You will translate market needs and customer pain points into clear product priorities, partnering closely with engineering, design and data science to deliver intuitive, scalable and AI-powered capabilities. You will work directly with teams at SAP. These teams include the Industry Business Unit, Customer Industry Solutions, Sales, and Pre-Sales. Your role is to support the development of AI use cases. This involves conducting scoping workshops, design assessments, feasibility assessments, and other project tasks. Your goal is to turn use case ideas into functional assistants and agents. You will guide the process to align these project deliverables with the longer-term roadmap, validate concepts through rapid experimentation, and ensure the products and projects deliver measurable business outcomes. This role requires strong product judgment, good communication and customer facing skills, comfort with complex commercial domains and the ability to turn ambiguity into clarity.

 

Qualifications

What you bring:

You bring strong product leadership, clear communication, and the ability to guide teams through ambiguity. You are comfortable shaping new products from the ground up and collaborating across engineering, design, and go-to-market teams.

· 5+ years of product management experience delivering SaaS or data-driven products

· Deep knowledge of retail and/or consumer products business processes such as merchandising, trade promotion planning, supply chain, store execution, retail execution, order to cash

· Proven experience taking products from discovery to launch

· Experience leading customer workshops, design workshops, and presenting recommendations

· Ability to define and communication product and project priorities across a diverse team

· Strong GTM partnership skills, aligning product strategy with sales and customer success

Additional Information

Meet your team

You will join a global product team of 5 - 10 individuals turning retail and consumer products use cases into AI driven capabilities ready to scale across the market. We work across engineering, services, design and go-to-market teams to deliver impactful, AI-driven commercial solutions.

Where you belong

You'll shape how product management is practiced across your area and beyond it. As a Product Manager, the expectation shifts from executing well to enabling others to execute well, and from contributing to strategy to co-owning it. Working without formal authority over engineering or design is the norm; your influence comes from the quality of your thinking and the strength of your relationships. If you want broad organizational impact in product and are ready for the accountability that comes with it, this is the right fit. Skills used in this role include competitive analysis, market research, and managing product lifecycles. You will also develop product roadmaps, work through the software development life cycle, and make data-driven decisions. You will also need skills in storytelling. Customer participation is important. AI-assisted engineering is also important. High-fidelity prototyping is important too. You will ensure the quality of AI outputs, use agentic AI daily, and build capabilities for AI adoption.
