Job Description
What you'll bring
You are a developing professional in cloud service delivery or customer success. You are ready to manage SAP Private Cloud customer engagements and drive strong outcomes in Japan.
- Experience in consulting, support, or service delivery with a focus on customer engagement
- Working knowledge of SAP cloud ERP offerings — including SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and RISE with SAP — and familiarity with SAP Basis, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise IT operations
- Foundational knowledge of at least one major cloud platform — AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud
- The ability to manage multiple engagements simultaneously, with strong prioritisation and problem-solving skills
- A degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience
- Native-level Japanese and business-level English are 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 serve as the primary point of contact for SAP Private Cloud customers in Japan, owning end-to-end delivery from contract signature through renewal.
- Own the full customer engagement lifecycle — from onboarding and service delivery to release management and renewal preparation
- Build strong relationships with customer stakeholders and Global Cloud Operations (GCO) teams at regional and global levels
- Manage account costs, support contract renewals, and collaborate with sales on upsell and cross-sell opportunities
- Ensure service engagements comply with contractual obligations and governance frameworks
- Manage operational security risks and communicate compliance status transparently
- Drive continuous improvement through governance meetings, root-cause analyses, and clear stakeholder communication
Where you belong
You will join Global Cloud Operations within SAP Customer Engagement & Adoption. The team manages SAP Private Cloud deployments across hyperscaler platforms, customer-owned data centres, and SAP data centres in Japan. Private cloud is a growth area at SAP, and this team is at its centre. You will work across technology, strategy, and relationship management — with real customer impact and visibility from day one.
