Lead Value Engineer job at Celonis in New York

This Lead Value Engineer job is with Celonis in New York. This is full-time work at Celonis's location. Pay for this role is set at $155,672 to $185,333 a year, according to the posting.

Here is the role as Celonis describes it.

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.

Are you a digital transformation leader ready to architect the AI-driven future of the Banking sector?

This is not a standard process optimization role. We are looking for a Lead Value Engineer to own customer success and drive high-stakes SaaS and AI adoption across top-tier global financial institutions and regional banking enterprise accounts. You will serve as the strategic bridge-translating complex financial and operational needs into technical strategy. As a trusted advisor to C-suite executives (CRO, CIO, CFO, Head of Retail/Wholesale Banking), you will blend deep banking DNA with elite management consulting and an AI-first mindset to realize maximum customer value.

The Impact You Will Drive

  • Value Architecture: Translate executive banking priorities into high-impact AI use cases (e.g., intelligent credit underwriting, automated fraud mitigation, hyper-personalized wealth advisory) and Value Realization Frameworks.
  • Solution Blueprints: Architect scalable, end-to-end data flows to resolve complex operational bottlenecks across legacy core banking platforms, payment rails, and loan origination pipelines.
  • Financial Quantification: Build data-backed business cases driving $10M+ in OPEX savings, risk reduction, or net-new revenue generation.
  • Executive Advisory: Deliver high-stakes value narratives to C-suite stakeholders and G-SIB (Global Systemically Important Banks) leadership to accelerate software adoption pipelines.
  • Process Transformation: Automate complex front-to-back office workflows (e.g., institutional onboarding, trade lifecycle management) using Lean or Six Sigma methodologies while maintaining bulletproof audit trails.
  • Lifecycle Management: Own the end-to-end customer value journey from technical discovery and proof-of-concept pilots through to impactful Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs).
  • Who You Are: The Ideal Background

    You are a strategic leader with 7-10 years of experience navigating unstructured enterprise problems. To be successful in this role, you must possess a hybrid background that bridges institutional financial services and elite business strategy. We are looking for candidates who fit one of the following exact trajectories:

  • The Banker turned Consultant: You began your career in risk management, capital markets, or retail/commercial banking operations at a major financial institution, and subsequently pivoted into Management Consulting, Strategy, or SaaS Value Engineering.
  • The Consultant turned Banking Digital Strategist: You began your career at an MBB, Big 4, or elite tech consultancy, built a deep portfolio of quantified business cases in digital transformation, and subsequently specialized heavily within Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, or FinTech.
  • The Non-Negotiables

  • Value-Led Consulting: Proven track record in consultative value-selling, value engineering, or account strategy for enterprise SaaS digital transformations.
  • Next-Gen Tech Fluency: Functional understanding of Generative AI, process mining, and their intersection with enterprise financial systems and core banking platforms (e.g., FIS, Fiserv, Temenos, or SAP Banking).
  • Banking Domain Expertise: Deep knowledge in 2+ areas across Credit Risk & Underwriting, Wealth Management/Advisory, Payments & Clearing, Capital Markets, Asset/Liability Management (ALM), or KYC/AML Operations.
  • Back-Office & Compliance: Strong grasp of financial services risk management frameworks, internal controls, and major regulatory mandates (e.g., Dodd-Frank, Basel III/IV, SEC, FINRA, CFPB).
  • Education & Certifications

  • B.S. or M.S. in Finance, Economics, Financial Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or Business Administration.
  • LSS Black Belt, Lean/Six Sigma, or Advanced Data Analytics / CFA / FRM certifications are a major plus.
  • Visa sponsorship is not offered for this role.
