World's leading companies trust Celonis and its global ecosystem of partners to make their AI agents, people, systems, and processes work together, achieving transformational outcomes.

We believe there's a massive opportunity to unlock global productivity and sustainability by giving AI the context to understand how every business process really works. Join our mission to make processes work for people, companies, and the planet.

Celonis Services is the delivery engine of our Celonis Customer Organization, responsible for turning the Celonis platform into measurable, business-critical outcomes for our customers. In the AI era, our role has elevated: as AI agents like our own Apollo take on more of the technical build, our people focus on the work that drives real impact—understanding our customers' business-critical problems, designing the solutions that solve them, and quantifying the value delivered.

Our Lead / Principal Consultant
- Data and AI, who we refer to internally as Deployment Engineers and Deployment Architects, pair deep domain and industry expertise with serious platform mastery and AI-augmented delivery, directing agentic systems while owning the judgment, architecture, and customer relationships that AI cannot replace. We deliver faster and smarter than ever, and we own the outcome: solution go-live, solution adoption, initial value realization support and the long-term success of our customers.

As a Lead / Principal Consultant
- Data and AI (referred to internally as a Lead / Principal Deployment Engineer) you are the backbone of Celonis delivery. You lead the hands‑on implementation of Celonis solutions for enterprise customers, combining platform expertise with AI‑augmented workflows to deliver high‑quality outcomes, fast.

This is not a traditional consulting role where you build everything manually. You are an AI‑augmented delivery professional: you specify what needs to be built, direct AI agents to execute wherever possible, validate the results, and iterate with the customer. You generate value by understanding the customer’s business, translating their needs into technical specifications and solutions, and ensuring the platform delivers measurable impact.
