SAP IMPACT Graduate Leadership Program
Accelerating Careers. Advancing Ambition.
SAP IMPACT Graduate Leadership Program is a Bill McDermott (SAP CEO) sponsored initiative created to attract & develop SAP’s next-generation leaders. The IMPACT program selects high-caliber MBA candidates to participate in a one-year leadership rotational initiative that expands their global awareness, fosters collaboration and continuous learning, and ultimately prepares each participant for a permanent role within SAP. The program is based on a principle of shared value between SAP and participants: creating next-generation leaders ready to solve tomorrow’s business challenges today.
A year of IMPACT
Every IMPACT participant completes three 14-week rotations in different parts of the company, with available assignments in Global Customer Operations, Office of the CEO, Corporate Functions and Products & Innovation, including one rotation at one of our global locations. Moving through different business areas within SAP allows you to discover which department is best suited to your interest and skill set and also how the departments connect and collaborate to make SAP run simple.
