SAP's Industry Business Unit for Public Sector is a global team working with governments to transform how they budget, procure, manage, and deliver public services.

• Knowledge of Microsoft Office and willingness to learn SAP technologies and tools.

• Coursework or experience related to digital transformation, AI, public sector innovation, consulting, or international studies.

You will join a high-impact, customer-facing Public Sector team operating at the intersection of industry advisory, emerging technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and business development.

Working alongside experienced professionals and directly supporting government customers, you will gain first-hand exposure to enterprise software, customer engagement, solution design, and innovation strategy. You will work with SAP's latest technologies—including AI, cloud platforms, and intelligent automation—to build demonstrations and prototypes that help shape how governments adopt digital innovation.
