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.

The Team: Our Business Development team is at the forefront of the AI ecosystem. We build strategic partnerships with the world’s leading Data and AI platforms, as well as ERP, CRM, and industry-specific vendors. We don’t just extend the Celonis platform; we embed our intelligence layer into the partner stack to power AI-driven transformation, growing ARR and scaling agentic deployments globally.

The Role: You will own the end-to-end partnership lifecycle for our most strategic Data & AI partners. Your mission is to position Celonis as the essential "context layer" for Enterprise AI. You will identify high-impact AI use cases, design joint Agentic solutions, and manage OEM accounts to ensure Celonis is the engine behind their intelligent automation.

The work you'll do:

  • Architect the AI Ecosystem: Demonstrate how the Process Intelligence Graph provides the context for a partner’s AI and LLM applications.
  • Drive AI-First Sales Cycles: Support leadership in driving complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles with tier-one AI and software vendors (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft).
  • Enable Agentic Workflows: Serve as the primary liaison to ensure our platform is optimized for agentic orchestration, ensuring OEM offerings are ready to power autonomous business actions.
  • Co-Innovate Joint Solutions: Lead AI Value Workshops and develop business cases focused on the ROI of AI-enriched process automation.
  • Drive AI Adoption: Manage the health of signed OEM accounts, identifying new generative and predictive AI use cases to ensure active adoption and platform stickiness.
  • Shape the AI Roadmap: Capture partner feedback on AI/ML requirements to inform the Celonis product roadmap and stay ahead of competitive dynamics in the Agentic AI space.
  • Validate Technical Feasibility: Collaborate with Applied AI Engineering to validate the integration of LLMs and the deployment of zero-copy data strategies.

What you bring:

  • 4–6+ years of experience in Enterprise Software, Business Development, or AI/ML Solution Consulting.
  • Proven ability to build business cases for AI-driven transformation and negotiate complex commercial frameworks.
  • Strong technical acumen in the AI/Data stack (e.g., understanding of LLMs, Vector Databases, and how Process Intelligence integrates with AI agents).
  • Ability to translate complex process data into a compelling AI value proposition for executive-level stakeholders.
  • Track record of navigating first-of-their-kind sales cycles in the AI or Data infrastructure space.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
