Job Description
Celonis Labs is the innovation engine of Celonis: an independent, rapid-innovation unit within Celonis focused on pioneering entirely new business models and novel platform capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- As Innovation Lead , you will shape the direction of innovation across Celonis Labs, creating and championing a diverse portfolio that spans exploratory prototypes, new business models, and partner solutions. Your mandate is to scan the horizon for disruptive high-potential opportunities and build compelling cases that get stakeholders and teams alike excited to build the next big thing.
- But getting people excited is only the spark.
- Bringing a founder’s mindset, you have the radical autonomy to hunt for paradigm-shifting concepts, backing your vision with intellectual rigor and sound hypotheses.
Requirements
- Hands-on startup experience and a proven track record of building and launching products from scratch within the B2B software domain—whether as a venture-backed founder, co-founder, founder's associate, or intrapreneurial product manager
- A demonstrated ability to bring abstract concepts to life alongside cross-functional teams rallying them behind a shared vision through product empathy and collaborative drive
- Strong trend acumen and technical literacy that gives you a natural foresight for emerging technological shifts and a deep empathy for software architecture
- High comfort with radical ambiguity, thriving in unstructured, rapidly shifting environments where, instead of waiting for a map, you think like a founder and are excited by the opportunity to draw the map yourself
- An impatient bias for action and a "can-do" attitude, demonstrating exceptionally high agency and leading by example to actively getting things done and drive momentum
- Exceptional communication and persuasion skills, with comfort pitching and building C-level relationships in both English and German. You build trust through clear, compelling narratives whether public speaking on a stage, inspiring executives, or whiteboarding with engineers
- Resilience and brutal intellectual honesty guided by data over personal ego. You pressure-test your own assumptions, kill weak concepts early, and treat a customer's "no" as a constructive metric and a direct path to the right "yes."
Benefits & Perks
- True Autonomy: We despise corporate theater and micromanagement. You will have the absolute freedom to explore wild, clean-sheet ideas, design your own discovery cycles, and call your own shots on where to focus your energy.
- Zero to One, Constantly: If you love the thrill of the starting line, the rigor of proving hypotheses wrong, and hate the monotony of maintaining legacy software, this is your paradise
- Real Resource Backing: No bootstrapping required. You find the sparks; we have a talented builder team ready to build the fire
- 197289803
