Client Value Partner (CVP) - Utilities & Energy Industry

Celonis is the global leader in Process Intelligence and the pioneer of Process Mining technology. As one of the world’s fastest-growing enterprise SaaS companies, we are changemakers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We invest heavily in advanced AI capabilities—specifically our Process Intelligence Graph—to turn data insights into immediate business action. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock global productivity and sustainability by placing intelligence at the core of every business process. Join our mission to make processes work for people, companies, and the planet. The Opportunity We are seeking an established consulting leader—a current Big Four Director, Managing Director, or Partner-track Senior Manager—to spearhead our highest-stakes Energy & Utilities engagements. In this executive-level role, you will serve as the principal strategic architect for our most valuable power, gas, and renewable energy accounts globally. Leveraging the Celonis Process Intelligence platform, you will bridge the gap between macro energy sector strategies and modern cloud/AI execution models, moving clients from slide decks to realized operational value. The Impact You’ll Make 1. C‑Suite Advisory & Value Architecture Peer-to-Peer Advisory: Partner directly with utility C‑suite executives (CEOs, COOs, CFOs, Chief Sustainability Officers) to align macro pressures—decarbonization, grid modernization, and capital reallocation with execution‑level transformation roadmaps. Map Enterprise Digital Twins: Oversee the deployment of the Celonis Process Intelligence Graph to build systemic, end‑to‑end operational models of complex utility enterprises. Orchestrate $100M+ Business Cases: Direct the formulation of board‑ready Celonis Value Assessments, delivering the economic justification, working capital improvements, and OPEX returns required to greenlight massive cloud and Edge AI investments. 2. Transformation Leadership & Ecosystem Governance Steer Enterprise Transformations: Serve as the executive sponsor for high‑visibility, Celonis‑driven operating model overhauls for Fortune 500 E U clients, guiding them from diagnostic discovery to closed‑loop automation. Architect Celonis Centers of Excellence (CoEs): Design and establish corporate‑wide CoEs, defining the target operating models, governance structures, and enablement frameworks needed to embed data‑driven decision‑making into client cultures. Untangle Systemic Friction: Lead cross‑functional teams to resolve complex operational leakages where siloed utility stacks (SAP S/4HANA, IBM Maximo, ADMS/SCADA) collide—specifically optimizing capital procurement, field services, and energy settlement invoicing. 3. Commercial Growth & Scaled Innovation De‑Risk High‑Value Sales Cycles: Convert complex regulatory mandates (FERC, NERC) into automated, visual compliance audits within the Celonis platform, transforming abstract compliance risks into compelling business cases that accelerate C‑suite sign‑off. Commercialize Next‑Gen "Process + AI" Use Cases: Direct the integration of industrial telemetry (SCADA, Edge IoT) into Celonis, translating complex data structures into high‑margin, executive‑ready offerings like real‑time storm response and predictive asset failure. Productize Utility Value Plays: Codify repeatable client successes into scalable Celonis apps and action templates, establishing a library of industry‑specific intellectual property that drives rapid time‑to‑value, net‑new ARR, and account expansion. The Profile We Are Looking For Consulting Pedigree: 12+ years of progressive experience within a Big Four or elite management consulting firm, currently operating at the Director, Managing Director, or Partner level. E U Vertical Expertise: Deep, authoritative knowledge of the Energy & Utilities sector (Grid Operations, Transmission & Distribution, Generation, or Retail), with a track record of leading multi‑million‑dollar transformation programs. SaaS & Process Intelligence Vision: Strong conceptual understanding of Process Mining paradigms. Experience with Celonis is highly advantageous, but a proven ability to leverage enterprise software to reshape business processes is required. Architectural Fluency: Comprehensive understanding of the modern enterprise stack (SAP, Oracle, Maximo) and emerging data/AI paradigms (Azure AI, LLMs). Note: You do not need to write code or SQL queries, but you must possess the technical fluency to direct data scientists, engineers, and solution architects. Commercial Acumen: Proven capability in client origination, relationship management, and driving account growth through value‑based selling. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or Information Systems. An MBA from a top‑tier business school is highly preferred. Visa sponsorship is not offered for this role.
