We believe the right path is through creativity, trial and error and great people working and learning together. Become part of our team and develop the future with us - in a global team that embraces diversity and equal opportunities.

We are establishing a new global product team, S4 AMS Operations, within the Product Family Finance & Procurement Solutions. The team will be based in Hyderabad, India, and will form part of our new digital hub launching this year.

We are looking for a Product Manager who will shape and lead this new operational area from day one, starting no later than July 1, 2026.

This position offers the opportunity to build something new and become a cornerstone of the long‑term operational backbone of our global S/4 landscape.

Now is the time to take a new step: Own it. Drive it. Excel in it.

Responsibilities :

• Build and lead a newly formed S4 AMS Operations team in India and additional regions, fostering an open, collaborative, and growth-oriented work environment.


• Enable the team to take ownership of S/4 operational topics transitioning from project delivery into stable operations, providing clarity, context, and decision-making support.

• Develop internal expertise to ensure long-term operational excellence across the S/4 solution landscape.


• Take responsibility for business outcomes, operational performance, budget planning, and sourcing within the S4 AMS Operations scope.


• Contribute to the organizational development of our broader product families and be an active member of a forward‑looking leadership team.
