Customer Success Manager (CSM)

At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

The Customer Success Manager (CSM) works directly with customers to guide them through their business journey with our solutions. The CSM works to increase customer satisfaction, retention, renewals, references, and upsells for Cloud products within their assigned solution portfolio. The CSM oversees key customer milestones throughout the customer lifecycle, from deal signature through system provisioning, monitoring implementation progress, and business case achievement. The CSM is expected to serve as the strategic point of contact for the customer within the assigned solution portfolio and to leverage appropriate resources across SAP functions to maintain overall customer health.

As a CSM within the SAP Academy for Customer Success, you will be responsible to:

• Successfully complete a 10-month learn-apply program, which includes classroom phases and field phases with your CSM team, that enhances your support in the CSM role, a critical customer-facing function within our dynamic Customer Success board area.

• Enhance skills around your solution portfolio, managing customer retention, and driving value realization.
• Receive onboarding in your local market with on-the-job training and mentoring by a senior CSM professional in the field. You will have the opportunity to work both behind the scenes and directly with customers.

The program will enrich your knowledge of SAP and the Customer Success board area and give you the professional experience to be ready to serve our customers.
