Lead AI Consultant

About the role

You are an AI Deployment Architect (AIDA) . You own the reality of scaling solutions within a customer's actual IT environment and productizing those results. Complementing your colleagues in Applied Value Engineers and Applied AI Engineering, who focus on pre-sales prototyping, you bridge the gap between "the art of the possible" and Business Critical, scaled solutions. As an AIDA, you steer account teams and customers toward AI use cases that are inherently scalable. You are not the primary implementer of these solutions. Instead, you steer the definition of the architectural vision for Consultants to execute and oversee delivery excellence. You remain hands-on for first-of-their-kind production solutions, eventually transitioning to an advisory capacity across a broad "book of work" within your assigned vertical. The Work You'll Do Advise and Safeguard Technical Implementations: Provide architectural oversight for concurrent deployments at Fortune 500 organizations. You act as the final technical authority, maintaining "project-ready" coding skills to troubleshoot and resolve critical production failures that block value realization. Architect AI-Enriched Solutions: Collaborate with pre-sales teams to transform experimental prototypes into robust, scalable enterprise applications. You then translate these successful deployments into standardized platform features by maintaining a tight feedback loop with Product and Engineering. Engineer Low-Latency Systems: optimize these AI-enriched solutions for high-throughput and minimal latency. You ensure the Celonis Platform handles near-real-time data integration without compromising the user experience of business-critical applications. Implement Eval-Ops & Automated Testing: Build rigorous evaluation pipelines to test LLM quality and reliability at scale. You move beyond manual spot-checks by institutionalizing automated benchmarks for model accuracy and safety. Deploy LLMOps & Lifecycle Governance: Design systems for continuous model monitoring, cost optimization, and performance tuning. You establish the frameworks for data privacy and compliance within the customer's actual IT environment. Troubleshoot Agentic Orchestration: Manage the complexity of multi-agent workflows where agentic activity is triggered by Celonis context and logged back to the platform. You ensure seamless hand-offs between agents and maintain the integrity of the full process loop. The Preferred Qualifications You Need Architectural Leadership: Proven experience designing and scaling innovative AI solutions within actual customer IT environments, moving these solutions from pilot
