The Team
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 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 Project Manager, you will support end-to-end implementations of Celonis’ technology across our largest and most strategic customers. You will articulate Celonis’ product positioning to customers and collaborate with Sales, Partners and Value Engineering to deploy our platform, identify and frame business value opportunities, create tailored solutions, and enable sustainable value realization for our customers.
