Celonis, a global leader in Process Intelligence and Process Mining technology, is seeking a senior transformation leader to spearhead strategic relationships with Tier 1 Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) accounts. This is a high-leverage individual contributor role designed for an elite strategy practitioner who wants to directly own and deepen relationships with Fortune 500 companies like Mars, Target, and PepsiCo, focusing entirely on market-facing value realization.
You will serve as the principal strategic architect for these massive client footprints, partnering with Enterprise Sales and Product Engineering. Your responsibilities include:
C-Suite Advisory & Value Architecture: Partner directly with Retail and CPG C-suite executives (CEOs, COOs, CFOs, Chief Supply Chain Officers) to align macro pressures—margin compression, omnichannel fulfillment complexity, inventory optimization, and inflationary pressures—with execution-level transformation roadmaps. Oversee deployment of the Celonis Process Intelligence Graph to build systemic, end-to-end operational models tracking goods and data flow from supplier tier through manufacturing, distribution centers, to point-of-sale. Direct formulation of board-ready Celonis Value Assessments delivering economic justification and multi-million-dollar working capital reductions.
Transformation Leadership & Ecosystem Governance: Serve as executive sponsor for high-visibility, Celonis-driven operating model overhauls for Fortune 500 consumer value chain clients. Design and establish corporate-wide Centers of Excellence, defining target operating models, governance structures, and enablement frameworks. Lead cross-functional teams to resolve complex operational leakages where siloed enterprise stacks (SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Retail, Blue Yonder, Manhattan Associates WMS) collide—optimizing Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, warehouse management, and reverse logistics.
Commercial Growth & Scaled Innovation: Convert retail compliance mandates—such as OTIF penalties, trade promotion leakage, and vendor deductions—into automated, visual compliance audits within Celonis. Direct integration of real-time industrial telemetry (RFID tracking, automated distribution center IoT, e-commerce demand signals) into Celonis. Codify repeatable client successes into scalable Celonis apps and action templates, establishing industry-specific intellectual property that drives rapid time-to-value and account expansion.
Required: 12+ years of progressive experience within a Big Four or elite management consulting firm, currently operating at Director, Managing Director, or Partner level. Deep, authoritative expertise in Retail and CPG vertical markets.
