Job Type: Full-time

Role OverviewMindsprint is building a full-scale SAP Academy to create a continuous, predictable pipeline of deployable SAP talent — spanning campus recruits (engineering, CA, CMA, MBA), adjacent/transferable hires, and existing employees needing upskilling. The Academy Lead owns this end-to-end: cohort design, classroom delivery, capstone projects, live-project deployment, account-specific coaching, leadership-behavior development, and governance. This is a program-ownership role, not a pure trainer role — building curriculum, managing a faculty pool of senior consultants, maintaining training infrastructure, and reporting progress to practice leadership.Business ObjectivesBuild and operationalize a structured 3-month SAP Academy for campus recruits across engineering, CA, CMA, and MBA entry points, with staggered intake windows, and create a repeatable pipeline to hire, train, and deploy adjacent or transferable talent into live projects.Reduce time-to-productivity and pre-deployment attrition through measurable, gated readiness checkpoints (iMocha, capstone, mentor sign-off), while upskilling experienced hires on emerging SAP areas — S/4HANA, Clean Core, BTP, SAP-AI/Joule.Institutionalize the Academy — governance, faculty rotation, calendar cadence, and career-pathway linkage — so it operates independent of any single individual's bandwidth.Key ResponsibilitiesCohort & Curriculum Design — Design a rolling cohort model routing campus recruits from different academic backgrounds into functional or technical tracks after a common foundation module. Own the full 3-month curriculum architecture (foundation, track-specific training, capstone, pre-deployment gate), refreshed continuously against cohort feedback and the evolving SAP/AI landscape (S/4HANA, Clean Core, RISE).Training Delivery & Capstone Evaluation — Conduct or coordinate instructor-led, virtual, and hands-on training across SAP modules,



personally facilitating at least two modules; build and manage a rotating faculty pool of senior consultants and guest SMEs. Design end-to-end capstone scenarios in a sandbox workplace that mirror real client builds, with defined evaluation rubrics and senior evaluators.Deployment & Assessment — Manage the shadow-to-full-time deployment pipeline (mentor/buddy assignment, transition gates); own the 30/60/90-day post-deployment feedback cycle and feed gaps back into curriculum design. Administer iMocha assessments at entry, checkpoint, and pre-deployment stages, tracking score trends as a leading indicator of readiness.Account & Leadership Development — Design account-specific onboarding content (org structure, SAP landscape, terminology) for each active account, coordinating leadership introductions and buddy assignments. Run a recurring leadership-behaviors track — communication, customer centricity, executive presence — including role-plays and leadership touchpoints across the program.Tools, Domain & Infrastructure — Ensure recruits are proficient in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word to client-ready standards; coordinate Day-1 onboarding to internal systems (Grow, Darwin Box) with HR. Partner with ISG (or an equivalent domain partner) on Food & Agri and other industry-understanding sessions sequenced after SAP foundations. Own sandbox S/4HANA systems, capstone environments, iMocha/LMS licensing, training materials, and training-room/virtual logistics across Chennai and Bangalore.Program Governance — Run the review cadence — weekly cohort pulse checks, bi-weekly track-lead syncs, monthly steering committee reviews, quarterly effectiveness reviews. Maintain a central metrics dashboard (intake data, iMocha and capstone scores,



shadow-to-full-time conversion time, 90-day feedback, attrition) and own the operationalization roadmap from design through steady-state scale-up. Drive SAP-AI adoption and tie Academy completion to a visible career-pathway credential.Required Skills & CompetenciesSAP Expertise — Strong functional and/or technical knowledge in two or more SAP modules (FI/CO, MM, SD, HCM, PP/QM, ABAP/BTP, etc.). SAP S/4HANA experience strongly preferred; familiarity with Clean Core and BTP is an advantage. Exposure to implementations, rollouts, RISE with SAP, or support environments.Program Ownership & Instructional Design — Demonstrated experience designing or running a structured, multi-week training program or academy — not just delivering individual sessions. Ability to build curricula, assessment frameworks, and capstone/evaluation rubrics from scratch, and to create digital learning content (e-learning modules, videos, quick-reference guides).Facilitation & Stakeholder Skills — Excellent facilitation and presentation skills, able to simplify complex technical concepts for varied audiences. Strong stakeholder management across HR, Track Leads, account delivery leaders, Project Managers, and external domain partners; an analytical, metrics-driven, learner-centric mindset.Qualifications:Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, IT, Business, or a related field. SAP certification(s) preferred. Training or instructional-design certifications (e.g., Train-the-Trainer, Instructional Design) are a plus.Preferred Experience:Experience in large-scale SAP transformation programs (e.g., RISE with SAP S/4HANA migrations); exposure to global training rollouts across multiple geographies or entities; familiarity with agile project environments; prior experience setting up or scaling a corporate academy, campus-to-competency pipeline, or GCC-style capability-building function; and exposure to commodity, agri, or manufacturing industry domains.
