About SAP Business Network:
At SAP Business Network, we strive to hire amazing people, engage them, and maintain a diverse workforce. The concepts of inclusion, collaboration, and respect for the individual are central to our values.
SAP Business Network is the largest B2B commerce and collaboration platform in the world, connecting millions of trading partners across procurement, logistics, asset management, and supply chain ecosystems. We are building the “Network of Intelligent Enterprises” – a unified, open, AI-powered business network that transforms how companies collaborate with their suppliers, logistics providers, contract manufacturers, and partners.
The Role:
We are seeking an exceptional Director of Product Management for the AI and Analytics initiatives for SAP Business Network. You will help define and drive the vision for how AI and data intelligence will create differentiated value across the entire network – for buyers, suppliers, and all trading partners.
You will work with a globally distributed team of senior product managers on the full lifecycle of AI-powered capabilities, such as SBN Connected Intelligence, Intelligent Reasoning Engine, and other Agentic solutions across the Business Network.
This is not a “build another dashboard or feature” role. This is a market-making product position to define how the world’s largest business network becomes the most intelligent business network.
Key Responsibilities:
+ Deliver the multi-year AI & Analytics product initiatives for SAP Business Network, securing alignment and buy-in from executive leadership, customer-facing organizations, and customers.
+ Own executive-level communication across functions. Help develop compelling messaging and presentations that position SAP Business Network as the clear leader in intelligent network commerce.
+ Engage directly with strategic customers and other stakeholders to shape requirements and secure design partners.
+ Drive cross-functional execution with engineering, design, and other partner teams across time zones.
+ Create world-class product artifacts: PRDs, executive presentations, demo videos, guided journeys, and competitive analysis.
+ Continuously and actively prioritize based on customer value, network effect potential, and strategic fit.
+ Monitor emerging AI trends, competitive landscape and translate them into actionable product opportunities.
Required Qualifications:
+ 15 years of product management experience.
+ Past experience in shaping AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics products.
+ Proven track record of building and scaling AI-powered enterprise or B2B platform products that achieved significant customer adoption and business impact.
+ Deep understanding of supply chain and procurement business processes, and the key metrics valuable to executives.
+ Exceptional leadership presence and communication skills, able to both simplify complex AI concepts for non-technical audiences and get into technical conversations with technical teams.
+ Demonstrated ability to influence without authority across large matrixed organizations.
+ Creative, “outside-the-box” thinker who combines technical depth with strong business acumen.
+ Highly adaptable, curious, and comfortable operating in fast-moving, agile initiatives.
+ Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field; MBA or advanced technical degree strongly preferred.
If you are a visionary product leader who gets energized by the opportunity to define the future of intelligent business networks and wants to operate at the intersection of AI innovation and real-world supply chain impact, this is your role. Join us and help build the platform that will power the world’s most resilient and intelligent supply chains.
