The Global Account Executive Expert, commonly known as Managing Partner (MP) is the global account leader assigned to one or more Strategic Customers. The MP drives the total strategic customer engagement with the customer and is accountable for driving innovation adoption, leading global software, cloud and services growth, the end‑to‑end satisfaction, and reference‑ability of the customer(s) throughout the customer lifecycle.
The individual will lead and coordinate SAP’s efforts across all lines of business and board areas — orchestrating all SAP parties around a single, clearly articulated 3‑to‑5 year joint innovation roadmap based on a clear account strategy and direction in support of the customer’s strategic initiatives using the 4‑panel governance model.
The MP will lead consultatively by shaping the client’s digital transformation vision and ultimately roadmap and leading SAP’s execution of that roadmap with the customer.
To drive toward success, the MP ensures three critical elements are in place:- A clear Account Plan and strategy which is developed in collaboration with the Market Unit and the extended Virtual Account Team (VAT).
- A jointly committed multi‑year roadmap with the customer that focuses on driving innovation and transformation.
- A jointly agreed governance model that enables the right level of focus on a mutually agreed‑to set of strategic initiatives.
All the above elements support the Strategic Customer Engagement Approach which ultimately will drive value creation, value execution, and value realization for the customer.
The MP is ultimately measured by growth in overall net new bookings in cloud software and services as well as protecting the revenue base (renewals) and increasing the NPS over time.
The targets and priorities are set with the Regional SCP Head, that region’s MU Head and shared with the GM & Global SCP Head.
