Regulatory Operations Lead

**What we offer**

**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.

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.

The primary responsibilities of the Regulatory Operations Lead are:

- Organizing, structuring, and managing the IRO team’s meetings, resources, trainings and documentation
- Structuring and leading communications about IRO’s mission, processes and resources

Every team member is expected to be a self-starter with a high degree of stakeholder focus, service attitude, and critical thinking with a solution focus. You will work in a strong, supportive team environment and must also be capable of working independently, shaping your best approach to successfully delivering on your defined responsibilities. You will collaborate and support other teams who are working together to deliver on SAP’s Cloud compliance needs and those related to our SAP customers. You are a change agent for SAP Cloud compliance with the opportunity to influence the shape of your own work and simplify the path to compliance for our SAP teams and hopefully have some fun along the way.
