Development Manager

**We help the world run better**

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 Vancouver. If you are a passionate individual who wants an opportunity to learn new topics (e.g., open-source governance, international trade compliance, intellectual property management) while honing your own expertise in the latest cloud development architectures (we run our systems on a microservices platform deployed with Kubernetes), then this is the right job for you

As a leader, you will help your team constantly improve by defining their development paths, setting realistic goals, and providing constructive feedback and regular performance reviews. You will also support your team in working with stakeholders across SAP to drive the continuous improvement of compliance tools, systems, and processes.

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

EXPECTATIONS AND TASKS
- Lead a team of individual contributors in Vancouver: manage the lifecycle of your employees - e.g. recruit/retain, develop/guide/motivate, and drive performance and detailed feedback
- Ensure the ongoing communication of company and organizational messages, objectives, goals and strategy to your team
- GTLC is recognized as an industry front-runner in our areas of expertise. Thus, we need someone who is eager to learn, results-oriented, forward thinking, and resourceful in bringing people together to innovate for the future.
- You will need to stay current on technology trends and understand how these trends may shape our team’s strategy and execution plans.
- You will actively participate in helping to drive our services across internal business areas and to help guide the continuous improvement of our business.
- This is not a fully remote work opportunity. However, the team shares in the Flex-Work philosophy of SAP, and we are very flexible in accommodating different scheduling needs of our employees.

EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES
- 5+ years of experience as a manager, with strong dedication to people development and mentoring
