• Conduct AI readiness and maturity assessments of SAP landscapes, covering data quality, integration points, security, and architecture requirements for ML and GenAI.

• Lead design thinking sessions, client workshops, and requirement-gathering meetings to translate business challenges into clear AI solution designs and roadmaps.

• Create and own proof-of-concepts, MVPs, and production-grade AI solutions that demonstrate tangible outcomes such as reduced processing time, higher accuracy, or improved user satisfaction.

• Mentor and coach client teams / Internal teams and junior consultants on AI/ML fundamentals, GenAI best practices, SAP AI capabilities, and Clean Core–friendly extension patterns.

• Stay current with SAP’s AI roadmap, broader AI ecosystem trends, and industry-specific innovations, actively sharing insights and driving internal innovation initiatives
