Role Description
“Trusted advisor.” It has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? SAP consultants acquire industry, application, and technical knowledge and use it to help SAP customers achieve their most ambitious business goals. Our consultants are problem-solvers, innovators, and guides. Our customers love them—and so do we.
The Network Services team within SAP is looking for an Associate Consultant to serve as a Network Enablement Lead, an important role collaborating with both buyer and supplier customers on efforts that enable interaction via the Ariba Network. The Network Enablement Lead will manage the execution of the supplier enablement workstream for our SAP Ariba customers by coordinating internal outreach and support resources, leading weekly status calls and delivering analysis of project metrics, providing education and training to customers on the value and functionality of the Ariba Network, and keeping project tasks on track.
