You will:

• Work directly with Defense and Security customers in KSA to discover, prioritize, and frame AI use cases on top of S/4HANA and SAP BTP.
• Design and implement end to end AI solutions: data pipelines from SAP, model selection/integration (SAP Business AI / BTP services), and UI/process integration.
• Run agile cycles (PoC pilot production), gather user feedback, and drive adoption in real business processes.
• Act as the bridge between Riyadh Lab customers and global SAP Product & Engineering, feeding requirements, gaps, and patterns into the roadmap.
• Produce reusable accelerators (reference architectures, templates, best practices) that can be scaled across KSA and the region.
