We help the world run better
At SAP, we enable you to bring out your best. Our company culture is focused on collaboration and a shared passion to help the world run better. How? We focus every day on building the foundation for tomorrow and creating a workplace that embraces differences, values flexibility, and is aligned to our purpose-driven and future-focused work. We offer a highly collaborative, caring team environment with a strong focus on learning and development, recognition for your individual contributions, and a variety of benefit options for you to choose from.

SAP Enterprise Cloud Services supports customers throughout their Cloud transformation and plays an important role in achieving SAP's cloud ambition. We run the SAP software product portfolio on the customers' preferred infrastructure (SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud or Hyperscalers), and with SAP Cloud Application Services at the core, we help customers to accelerate their SAP S/4HANA adoption and transformation.

Three of SAP's large customers, headquartered in Germany, have started their "RISE with SAP" journey. The first of these customers has now tasked SAP to also move their China business to the Cloud. As part of this transformation, the ~16 productive landscapes must be migrated to 21Vianet/Microsoft Azure, with a potential future move to AliCloud. In parallel to the migration, the customer is also undergoing its SAP S/4HANA transformation to become an Intelligent Enterprise. With your understanding of ECS processes focusing on large customers, you will be contributing to the ECS private Cloud adoption of the customer.
