SAP recently decided to combine and harmonize all SAP Sovereign Cloud offerings, establishing an end-to-end process for the Public Sector and regulated industries. The Sovereign Cloud Delivery & Operations business unit is part of SAP Product Engineering with responsibility across the relevant Sovereign Cloud portfolio of SAP. Sovereign Cloud Delivery & Operations is collaborating closely with all Board areas to establish a harmonized, scalable, and consistent offering with transparent and standardized deliverables.
We are looking for a Senior Development Manager (m/f/d) within the Technology & Engineering unit of the Sovereign Cloud Delivery & Operations organization. The role reports directly to the Chief Technology Officer.
Currently, the Technology and Engineering unit has locations in Germany and the US, with the majority of the employees located in the US. Our new location in Portugal will extend our global footprint with a cross-cutting engineering team. This team will support the existing US and German teams in development, security and quality assurance tasks.
In your role as manager of our Portugal office, you will be responsible for building up the team and setting them up for success.
What you'll do
You will be responsible for the analysis of the as-is situation and will define the roadmap to close any existing gaps in the Engineering, Quality Assurance, Release Management and Security & Compliance teams.
You will collaborate with the leadership team in their engagement with the SAP Lines of Businesses (LoBs) and the attempt to outsource as many functions as possible into these LoB teams. Your task will be to create positions and functions that can bridge the last mile between SAPs standard offerings and the Sovereign Cloud requirements instead of starting from scratch. Your objective will be the optimization of the efficiency and throughput of the Technology & Engineering unit.
Due to the classified nature of our work, your willingness is required to subject yourself to a governmental security clearance process and thus have an EU, NATO or FIVE EYES country member nationality.
