Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In my role as a Business Operations Associate at SAP, I support the day-to-day operational efficiency of the organisation by managing and analysing data across key solution areas. I collaborate with internal stakeholders to provide actionable insights that help drive strategic decisions. My responsibilities include tracking performance metrics, maintaining data accuracy in reporting systems, and identifying opportunities to optimise processes using SAP’s own solutions. I ensure alignment with business goals by leveraging standardised tools and sharing best practices across teams.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a significant level of responsibility during my placement. I was trusted to manage key tasks independently, such as preparing performance reports, supporting internal stakeholders with data-driven insights, and ensuring data accuracy across solution areas. I also took ownership of regular operational processes, which helped me build confidence and develop a proactive approach to problem-solving.
