Senior Value Engineer - Manufacturing

Celonis is the global leader in Process Intelligence and the pioneer of Process Mining technology. As one of the world's fastest-growing enterprise SaaS companies, we are changemakers pushing the boundaries of what's possible. We invest heavily in advanced AI capabilities-specifically our Process Intelligence Graph-to turn data insights into immediate business action. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock global productivity and sustainability by placing intelligence at the core of every business process.

Join our mission to make processes work for people, companies, and the planet.

As a Senior Value Engineer focusing on the Manufacturing sector, you serve as a trusted advisor and technical expert, leading data-driven business transformations for our enterprise customers. You will work in partnership with the Sales team, taking full responsibility for the end-to-end customer value journey-from technical pre-sales discovery (landing) through to rigorous post-sales implementation and project management (expanding, adopting, and renewing).

This role requires a unique hybrid skill set: you must be a highly technical solution engineer capable of building complex prototypes, while also being deeply comfortable owning the post-sale lifecycle to ensure adoption and value realization. Your main goal is to help clients leverage the Process Intelligence Platform to optimize manufacturing workflows, modernize systems, and achieve measurable ROI.
