What You'll Bring

Bring your deep solution expertise in HCM and SuccessFactors, established domain authority, and ability to lead complex sales programs and teams that drive cloud revenue and customer success at scale. If you can align solution strategy with customer outcomes, mentor Solution Sales Executives on HCM best practices and SuccessFactors capabilities, and set standards for pipeline quality and value articulation, you are ready to lead at this level.

What You'll Build

As a Senior Solution Sales Expert, you will lead complex solution sales programs focused on enterprise SuccessFactors HCM solutions through consultative selling and strategic account management. You will develop and execute territory strategies aligned to customer needs and SAP solution priorities, identifying and qualifying enterprise prospects by understanding their human capital management challenges, talent acquisition gaps, and workforce planning needs.

You will conduct discovery meetings with C-level executives and HR leaders to uncover organizational objectives around talent management, succession planning, and workforce optimization. Based on these insights, you will develop customized SuccessFactors proposals that align client requirements with organizational capabilities, designing comprehensive HCM solution recommendations covering core modules—Employee Central, Talent Management, Learning, Compensation, and Analytics—while demonstrating how these solutions improve talent retention, boost employee engagement, and enable better workforce decisions.

You will govern pipeline health and booking performance, managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from initial engagement through contract closure. You will develop and maintain detailed sales pipelines using forecasting methodologies to predict deal progression and track revenue against targets. Strong negotiation skills will be essential to closing deals while maintaining profitability and client satisfaction.

You will set standards for domain expertise and value articulation across your territory, mentoring Solution Sales Executives on SuccessFactors capabilities and HCM best practices. You will coordinate cross-functional teams and partners—including product, technical, and implementation teams—to ensure solutions are viable and clients experience smooth onboarding and successful solution adoption.

Building and nurturing long-term strategic relationships with key accounts, you will identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within the SuccessFactors suite while supporting renewals and expansions. By partnering with account owners and ecosystem partners, you will build pipeline, drive bookings, and realize customer lifetime value. You will maintain accurate CRM records, provide regular performance reporting, and stay current with HCM industry trends and competitive landscape to position solutions effectively to prospective clients, consistently achieving and exceeding sales quotas and organizational revenue targets.

Where You Belong

At SAP, you will be part of an inclusive, global community of solution sales professionals dedicated to driving cloud revenue growth and delivering outstanding customer outcomes through deep domain expertise. Together, we foster a culture where solution knowledge, customer partnership, and commercial execution combine to advance SAP's cloud strategy and long-term customer success.
