Celonis is the trusted platform to industrialize Enterprise AI. At our core is the Celonis Context Model — which combines process data, business knowledge, and intelligence into a living digital twin of the enterprise that AI can actually understand, turning AI's operational blind spots into operational clarity. 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. The Team: Celonis grew up with the private sector: Deutsche Telekom, Mercedes-Benz, Uniper and three quarters of the DAX companies rely on Celonis Process Intelligence. Now we are taking the next big step in Germany: scaling our business with the public sector. To make this happen, Celonis is investing heavily through 2029 in its German public sector business. Over the past year, we have built our Public Sector team from the ground up. Today, a strong go-to-market core team of Account Executives and Value Engineers is in place, working with federal and state-level institutions. The Bundeswehr is one of our primary target organizations in the public sector. With our Celonis for Defense & Security initiative, presented at the Munich Security Conference 2026, we offer a sovereign and trusted platform that integrates data across systems and optimizes military processes along the entire value chain. This means higher operational readiness through optimized logistics and faster maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) cycles, greater resilience through end-to-end supply chain transparency, and faster IT modernization by connecting existing systems with modern AI applications. Building on our data analysis solution Metropolis , we also help connect information from a wide range of sources into a comprehensive situational picture , enabling faster and better-informed decisions during the actual mission . To drive this forward, we are now complementing our existing Public Sector team with a highly specialized Account Executive who brings first-hand experience from inside the organization we serve: the Bundeswehr . The Role: This is not a typical Account Executive role. You bring the perspective of someone who knows the Bundeswehr from the inside: how its structures work, how processes in logistics, maintenance or procurement really run, and how decisions are made and budgets are approved. You will use this credibility to build trusted relationships across the Bundeswehr and the defense ecosystem, and to position Celonis as a long-term partner for its digital transformation. Working closely with our Public Sector AEs, Value Engineers and product experts, you will translate the operational reality of the armed forces into compelling use cases, contribute to the creation of solution blueprints, drive opportunities from first conversation to signed contract, and help shape how Celonis enters and grows in this market. The Work you'll do: • Build and own relationships across the Bundeswehr – Army (Heer), Navy (Marine), Air Force (Luftwaffe) and Cyber and Information Domain Service (CIR) – and its ecosystem, e.g. the Federal Ministry of Defence (BMVg), the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) and BWI GmbH. • Engage with decision-makers from leadership, logistics, procurement, IT and digitalization. • Translate operational challenges into concrete, AI-enabled use cases with measurable impact, e.g. in logistics and supply, MRO and materiel readine
