Are you a SAP expert who loves translating complex systems into meaningful learning that enables people to perform at their best? We are looking for a Global SAP Trainer to help shape a consistent, high‑quality global SAP learning experience that enables colleagues across multiple regions to work efficiently and confidently.

We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.

About the role 

As Global SAP Trainer, you will act as the vital link between SAP technical capability and the people who rely on it every day. You will ensure SAP Sales & Distribution users across Global Operations are confident, capable and consistent in how they use the system to deliver excellent customer outcomes.

You will design and deliver high‑quality SAP training that supports accurate, efficient operational delivery at scale. This includes translating complex SAP functionality into clear, accessible learning experiences that meet the needs of diverse audiences across regions, cultures and time zones.

You will play a critical part in driving global consistency and adoption of SAP by maintaining robust, up‑to‑date training content aligned to agreed standards and best practice. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy while remaining closely aligned to global process owners and training strategy.

In addition to system training, you will contribute to a broader culture of learning by supporting customer service capability through collaboration with the wider Training & Quality team, helping to strengthen both technical and non‑technical skills across the organisation.

What you’ll take ownership of:

• Owning the global SAP training plan and roadmap, aligned to business priorities.
• Creating seamless learning environments by managing systems, tools and access.
• Acting as a trusted point of contact for SAP Sales & Distribution training globally.

This role also offers the opportunity to travel internationally approximately twice a year, working closely with colleagues across our global network.

This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long-term health condition.  

About You 

You are an experienced SAP professional with a strong focus on Sales & Distribution, confident working with SAP ECC 6 and/or S/4HANA in an operational environment.

You understand how SAP supports end‑to‑end customer service processes and can translate that system knowledge into practical, effective learning for users.

You are an engaging and adaptable trainer who can design and deliver high‑quality systems training for varied audiences. Comfortable working with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, you communicate clearly, build strong working relationships, and collaborate effectively within cross‑functional and project‑based teams.

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Proven experience in SAP Sales & Distribution, supported by relevant training, certification or equivalent hands‑on expertise.
• Strong capability in designing and delivering software and systems training using appropriate methodologies and frameworks.
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to simplify complex information to meet different learner needs.

If you meet the above minimum requirements, we encourage you to apply. Your application will be even stronger if you can also demonstrate the following desirable criteria:

• Awareness of Finance & Controlling and Materials Management modules in SAP
• Proficient in using software tools and combined with training metholodologies and frameworks
