PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
SAP and the SAP customers are faced with an increasingly complex global environment in which to operate their businesses. This is especially true in the rapidly progressing area of Cloud compliance. The Regulatory Affairs department at SAP Legal is responsible for providing a coherent, consistent, and reliable approach to Cloud compliance at SAP. Within Regulatory Affairs, the Integrated Regulatory Office (IRO) is a team with the mandate to build a network across SAP and drive a cross-functional, multi-jurisdictional process for regulatory compliance affecting products, services, or internal operations at SAP.
This role is primarily focusing on scaling regulatory compliance processes, evangelizing and promoting IRO’s work and support select project management activities. A successful candidate will also need to be able to understand our approach to regulatory compliance at a granular level, communicate that understanding to other stakeholders and drive regulatory compliance projects.
This role will work closely with colleagues in Legal, Security, Data Protection & Export Control, Government Relations, and other compliance and technical functions including Product Development, Cloud Operations, and Operating Lines of Business to achieve the desired outcomes and the required changes in a collaborative fashion.
The primary responsibilities of the IRO Project Manager and Operations Lead are:
OPERATIONS
- Executing on the plan for an improved regulatory compliance process framework
