SAP’s Global Technology Legal Compliance organization is focused on supporting our development teams to create innovation. Our global group is comprised of skilled software developers, legal and regulatory experts, and technology compliance analysts who work collectively to help product engineering meet the highest level of compliance standards.

We are looking for a manager to lead, mentor, and coach such a talented and diverse group in Vietnam.

We focus every day on building the foundation for tomorrow and creating a workplace that embraces differences, values flexibility, and is aligned to our purpose-driven and future-focused work. We offer a highly collaborative, caring team environment with a strong focus on learning and development and recognition for individual contributions. Help us shape the future of our team!
