Key Skills:

We are deep SAP specialists and our customers expect us to be able to have a sensible conversation about SAP. As a Service Delivery Manager, you are the key interface between the Customer.

For that to be a trusted and value-added relationship, you need to be able to have meaningful conversations with SAP Functional, Technical and Management capabilities within the customer.

In addition to being fluent in ‘SAP Speak’, a good understanding of ITIL processes and terminologies is important, as is a level of affinity with Infrastructure Management, Data Lifecycle Management, and Solution Manager.

You are innovative – You are happy to challenge established patterns in the industry if they do not make sense to customers; you are able to put yourself in the shoes of your customers and observe what we do from their perspective; you keep abreast of developments and know when to introduce them to your customers;
Command authority naturally – You don’t need borrowed power to enlist the help of others – you just know how to do it – you are optimistic and are viewed in a favorable light and are valued by the organizations you work for;
Possess quick sifting abilities, knowing what to note and what to ignore – The latter is more important since there’s almost always too much data, and rarely too little; ignoring the right things is better than trying to master extraneous data;
Set, observe, and re-evaluate priorities frequently – You focus and prioritize by ranking what is on your plate constantly and by handling fewer actions, emails, attending fewer meetings, and generally limiting their data input;
