What you'll bring

Bring your ability to independently own and execute a partner-led territory plan, coach partner sellers on deal management and qualification discipline, manage indirect pipelines with rigour, and act as the trusted expert for territory coverage planning, partner performance, and AI-led selling practices. You bring a franchisor mindset — managing the entire system around the partner and the customer, and leading through standards and plans that others execute.

• Ten or more years in territory or      channel sales with quota ownership, including mid-market or volume      territory business, with evidence that partners sourced and closed a      material share of revenue
• Forecast accuracy within ten per cent of      commit and four times pipeline coverage sustained across several years
• MEDDPICC or MEDDICC as a working      qualification discipline on every forecast deal
• Demonstrated success coaching partners      to improve coverage, qualification quality, and win rates
• Enterprise cloud application sales      experience; SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, SuccessFactors, or Business      Technology Platform experience is an advantage
• Regular, everyday use of AI tools in      your own selling — for research, qualification, preparation, and drafting      — with the habit of verifying output before use
• Repeated success engaging partner      management and customer executive committees on investment cases and risk      reviews
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent;      postgraduate business studies valued
• Business-level English and Australian      work rights

What you'll build

You will autonomously develop and execute territory sales plans with annual targets for pipeline generation, revenue, bookings, and consumption — phased by quarter. You will maintain four times qualified pipeline coverage at the start of each quarter, sustain a weekly forecast within ten per cent of your opening commit, and keep CRM hygiene across every deal to a standard that withstands management inspection.

You will coach partner sellers on MEDDPICC qualification discipline, lead weekly pipeline reviews and monthly deal reviews with each partner, and bring SAP executive sponsorship in on defined triggers. You will build one business plan per partner — reviewed quarterly — covering named accounts, pipeline commitment, coverage ratios, win-rate targets, enablement actions, and consumption milestones.

You will also embed AI into your own working week and your partners' practices — using Joule and SAP's AI tools for account and partner research, qualification scorecards, review packs, and forecast summaries, and guiding partners to adopt and demonstrate Joule with their customers. The role achieves sales targets within the assigned territory by coordinating ecosystem activities, leading opportunity closure through strategic planning and partner coaching, and ensuring partners deliver consistent commercial outcomes that expand SAP's strategic footprint across the territory.

At SAP, you will be part of an inclusive, global community of ecosystem and channel professionals dedicated to building solid partner networks and leading predictable territory performance.
