Is there such a thing as a typical SAP person?

Well, no. And yes.

We are known for having the very best people in the SAP community, so we will always look for in-depth SAP knowledge before anything else. That said, in areas like sales and customer support, experience of similar technologies and the wider industry are just as valuable, especially when we can provide you with all the product training you need.

There are certain common qualities that bind our people together. As we are all in the business of business - it is vital we have people who understand how business works, and by that, we mean the role technology plays in different areas of the business.

You will have to be very bright, honest and open. Our people don't just talk to each other, they share ideas at every opportunity, so whether you're discussing the latest thinking, an abstract idea or recent feedback from a customer, we will expect you to speak your mind. Sharing knowledge is a company-wide activity that relies on the involvement of everyone at SAP.

The fact that we're actually developing the software as we go along means we never know what will happen next. This is not a "comfort-zone" environment.

Our people thrive on it.

One other thing. To join SAP, you will need to be the very best in your field. So we will be looking for something extra: a certain quality that makes you stand out from the rest.
