Sales Development Specialist

Most companies talk about AI. The harder thing is knowing what to do with it. Customers today don't need an introduction to the technology. They need someone who can look at how their business actually works, understand where the pressure is, and tell them honestly what AI can change and what it can't. That's the conversation at the heart of these roles. At SAP, you'll be working across 25 industries with some of the most complex organisations in the world, including 97 of the world's 100 most sustainable companies. If AI is what gets you out of bed, this is where that goes somewhere real.

• Developing fluency with AI value selling and strategic AI synthesis — applying these tools to personalise outreach, prioritise accounts, and improve campaign effectiveness

• Confidence cold calling as a deliberate, structured approach to opening new accounts and building coverage across your territory

• Ability to read outreach signals and adapt — adjusting messaging and channel mix to improve engagement and pipeline quality

• Degree not required.
