Looking for career opportunities in the tech industry? Searching for a purpose-driven, future-focused, and collaborative company with a strong commitment to ethics and career development?
Then we invite you to join us for a new kind of online recruiting event - the SAP Virtual Career Open House.
In recognition of our commitment to life-long learning at SAP, it’s time to go back to school, but this time it’s a lot more fun and there is no homework. We’ll feature a “Homeroom,” “AP class,” and even an “Assembly” where you can learn more about SAP and be inspired by our speakers and content.
We invite all professional backgrounds and experience levels to join us and celebrate the beauty of diversity and the real meaning of inclusion.
During this event, you will learn all about SAP’s culture, about our open positions, how to rock your LinkedIn profile and interviewing tips to get you hired. In addition, you’ll hear from some very special speakers like Claudia Romo Edelman, Ruth Whippman and Baratunde Thurston as they speak about topics like why representation and authenticity matter, how our norms are changing and how to be a global citizen.
This event is free and open to all. Space is limited, so register now!

  • Careers
  • Community

Be part of the change and join us.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

How We Run

"How We Run" is a set of behaviors that describe how we get things done at SAP on our best day – when everything is running as it should. It explains SAP's unique and special culture, and gives us direction for making decisions in our work every day. At SAP, we know that success means different things to different people: from climbing the leadership ladder to striking the perfect work-life balance and everything in between. At SAP, you can be whatever you want to be. ... But no matter how you define success, collaboration will be a big part of your life at SAP.

Purpose as a Superpower

As a global community, we’ve made significant progress toward the achievement of economic security, health and well-being, gender equality, and education. However, divisive language, opposition towards “otherness,” and the COVID-19 pandemic threaten to undermine these accomplishments. Despite this, Claudia Romo Edelman maintains an optimistic outlook on the future of purpose, diversity, inclusion, and equity as core catalysts to driving impact for the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
