Lead AI Consultant

The Team

Celonis makes processes work for people, companies, and the planet. As the Celonis Services organization, we are the strategic implementation consulting & transformation arm of a unified Customer Organization aligned to four core mandates:

1. Make Celonis Business Critical: Transform the platform into the central nervous system of our customers’ operations.
2. Scale Customer Health: Drive full platform adoption to ensure long-term value and stability.
3. Focus on High-Value Activities: Prioritize complex, high-impact technical work that moves the needle for Focus & Strategic customers.
4. Empower Career Growth: Foster an environment where every Celonaut owns customer success while accelerating their own professional trajectory.

We deliver production-ready Celonis Platform implementations that drive measurable top, bottom, and green-line impact. Moving beyond “point-in-time” analysis, we utilize a Discover-and-Build approach to solve the world's most complex operational challenges.

In close partnership with Value Engineering, we perform data-driven discovery to validate business hypotheses against real-world data. We then build and deploy operational, AI-enriched solutions on top of the Celonis Platform that automate decisions and optimize workflows at an enterprise scale.

We don't just implement AI for our customers; we live it. Our project delivery lifecycle is accelerated by state-of-the-art AI augmentation, allowing our consultants to focus on high-level, strategic problem-solving. By serving as the "eyes and ears" in the field, we maintain a continuous innovation loop with our Product & Engineering teams, ensuring our frontline learnings directly shape the future of the Celonis Platform.

The Role

You are an AI Deployment Architect (AIDA). You own the reality of scaling solutions within a customer's actual IT environment and productizing those results. Complementing your colleagues in Applied Value Engineers and Applied AI Engineering, who focus on pre-sales prototyping, you bridge the gap between "the art of the possible" and Business Critical, scaled solutions. As an AIDA, you steer account teams and customers toward AI use cases that are inherently scalable. You are not the primary implementer of these solutions. Instead, you steer the definition of the architectural vision for Consultants to execute and oversee delivery excellence. You remain hands-on for first-of-their-kind production solutions, eventually transitioning to an advisory capacity across a broad "book of work" within your assigned vertical.

The Work You’ll Do

• Advise and Safeguard Technical Implementations: Provide architectural oversight for concurrent deployments at Fortune 500 organizations. You act as the final technical authority, maintaining "project-ready" coding skills to troubleshoot and resolve critical production failures that block value realization.
• Architect AI-Enriched Solutions: Collaborate with pre-sales teams to transform experimental prototypes into robust, scalable enterprise applications. You then translate these successful deployments into standardized platform features by maintaining a tight feedback loop with Product and Engineering.
• Engineer Low-Latency Systems: optimize these AI-enriched solutions for high-throughput and minimal latency. You ensure the Celonis Platform handles near-real-time data integration without compromising the user experience of business-critical applications.
• Implement Eval-Ops & Automated Testing: Build rigorous evaluation pipelines to test LLM quality and reliability at scale. You move beyond manual spot-checks by institutionalizing automated benchmarks for model accuracy and safety.
• Deploy LLMOps & Lifecycle Governance: Design systems for continuous model monitoring, cost optimization, and performance tuning. You establish the frameworks for data privacy and compliance within the customer's actual IT environment.
• Troubleshoot Agentic Orchestration: Manage the complexity of multi-agent workflows where agentic activity is triggered by Celonis context and logged back to the platform. You ensure seamless hand-offs between agents and maintain the integrity of the full process loop.

The Preferred Qualifications You Need

• Architectural Leadership: Proven experience designing and scaling innovative AI solutions within actual customer IT environments, moving these solutions from pilot to production.
• Advanced Technical Production: Ability to refactor experimental pilots for production-scale performance and a deep proficiency in Python for building enterprise-grade LLM-based solutions.
• Vertical Industry Expertise: In-depth understanding of complex business challenges within a specific industry vertical (e.g., Manufacturing, Life Sciences).
• Senior Stakeholder Management: Excellence in translating highly complex architectural concepts and AI governance frameworks into strategic roadmaps for C-suite stakeholders.
• Lifecycle Mastery: Experience in production-level acceptance testing, low-latency system design, and the management of ongoing LLM performance.
• Academic Excellence: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
