We are seeking an experienced sales leader to build and manage a high-performing Cloud ERP sales team focused on driving subscription revenue, migrations to cloud ERP, and long-term customer value for SAP’s cloud ERP portfolio. The leader will recruit and coach sellers, define cloud-first GTM strategies, align sales with product, partner and customer success teams, and deliver predictable ARR growth, retention and expansion.

What You’ll Do

Recruit top cloud-selling talent, implement cloud-specific sales processes, and develop a robust pipeline of net-new, migration and expansion opportunities.

Drive executive-level engagement with customers and partners to position SAP as the cloud ERP strategic choice and influence large-scale cloud transformation decisions.
Partner closely with Partner Ecosystem, Customer Success, Presales and Professional Services to de-risk complex migrations, orchestrate proofs-of-value, and accelerate time-to-value.

Enforce and evangelize SAP’s cloud sales methodologies and territory engagement guidelines; shorten sales cycles through standardized cloud motions and repeatable playbooks.
Ensure every proposal includes a clear cloud business case: TCO comparison (on-prem vs cloud), migration ROI, subscription economics and measurable KPIs.
Monitor demand generation effectiveness for cloud offerings; adjust channels, campaigns and partner motions to sustain scalable growth.
Negotiate complex SaaS/contracts (subscription terms, SLAs, third-party cloud dependencies) and manage legal/compliance inputs for cloud deals.
Remove barriers, resolve conflicts, and recognize team achievements; cultivate a culture of experimentation, measurement and continuous improvement.

Cloud-specific communication skills:

Build strategic partnerships with decision makers (CIO, CFO, CTO, Line-of-Business) to sponsor cloud ERP transformations.
Represent SAP Cloud ERP credibly to customer and partner executive audiences, articulating cloud benefits, security/compliance posture and migration roadmaps.
Encourage open team collaboration; promote cross-functional alignment with Customer Success and Product to protect renewals and drive upsell.
Set and communicate clear cloud-oriented objectives, KPIs, and work assignments.
Deliver difficult messages (e.g., renewal risks, migration challenges) promptly and constructively.
Listen attentively to customer and team feedback to refine cloud plays and improve adoption.

What You Bring

15+ years in enterprise software/IT solutions sales, with demonstrated success in complex, long-cycle deals.
Proven track record in cloud/SaaS sales (preferably Cloud ERP or enterprise business applications) including new logo, migration and expansion motions.
Experience leading and scaling a team-selling environment for cloud products and working closely with partner ecosystems.
Strong negotiating experience with SaaS subscriptions, enterprise licensing and complex cloud contracts.
Deep understanding of consultative, value- and outcome-based selling methodologies applied to cloud transformations.
Demonstrated ability to manage large, complex organizations, apply risk-mitigation strategies for migrations, and align cross-functional stakeholders.
Track record of meeting ARR/ACV targets and managing renewal, expansion and churn KPIs.

Preferred Experience:

Prior experience with SAP Cloud ERP (S/4HANA Cloud) or comparable cloud ERP portfolios.
Familiarity with public cloud infrastructure providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and cloud deployment models.
Experience working with channel partners, SI partners and cloud-native ISVs.
