Job Description
The Client Director is a senior member of our sales organization, responsible for the long-arc commercial trajectory of Celonis’s most strategically important accounts.
Key Responsibilities
- As the Client Director for a strategic life sciences account, your primary objective is to develop, maintain, and expand resilient sponsorship and sticky business critical use cases across the client’s business. You are accountable for moving accounts from solving individual pain points to an Enterprise AI platform of record—embedding the Celonis platform as a strategic pillar within the client’s operations.
- You are the client’s most senior commercial partner, engaging at the C-suite level on business strategy, platform investment, and multi-year transformation. Where a CVP is deployed, you own the commercial relationship and expansion strategy; they own value realization and adoption.
Requirements
- 12+ years in enterprise SaaS sales or strategic account management, with at least 5 years managing accounts with $5M+ ARR.
- Deep industry expertise in healthcare & life sciences — with the credibility to engage customers on industry-specific challenges, benchmarks, and transformation priorities, not just platform capabilities.
- Preferred direct experience with pharmaceutical distribution leaders, leading transformation initiatives or acting as a strategic consultant or Client Director.
- Demonstrated track record of growing ARR within named accounts over multi-year horizons—expanding platform footprint, not just renewing contracts.
- Executive presence and credibility at the C-suite level—able to lead strategic conversations with CFOs, COOs, and CIOs and influence large, complex buying decisions.
- Experience navigating enterprise transformations—ERP consolidations, cloud migrations, M&A, organizational restructuring—without losing commercial momentum.
- Fluent in business case construction: ROI modeling, TCO analysis, and value benchmarking at a level that withstands CFO scrutiny.
- Comfortable with long deal cycles and ambiguity; skilled at managing internal and external stakeholders across 12–24+ month expansion arcs.
- Background in ERP, Supply Chain, Finance transformation, or AI-native enterprise platforms strongly preferred; familiarity with agentic AI, automation, or intelligent process orchestration a plus.
- Proven ability to work in a team-selling model alongside value engineering, professional services, partners, and extended GTM teams like Growth, Industry, and Transformation experts.
- Visa sponsorship is not offered for this role.
- The base salary range below is for the role in the specified location, based on a Full Time Schedule. Total compensation package will include base salary + bonus/commission + equity + benefits (health, dental, life, 401k, and paid time off). Please note that the base salary range is a guideline, and that the actual total compensation offer will be determined based on various factors, including, but not limited to, applicant's qualifications, skills, experiences, and location.
