The work you’ll do:

  • Creative Leadership & Strategy: Lead the conceptualization and development of innovative, high-impact creative solutions across a broad spectrum of marketing and branding initiatives, including global campaigns, major events (e.g., Celosphere), roadshows, office branding, e-books, digital and print assets, and premium swag items.
  • India Market Brand Development: Play a key role in shaping and developing the Celonis brand specifically for the India market, driving creative direction for India-specific activities, campaigns, and events, ensuring cultural relevance while maintaining global brand consistency.
  • Brand Guardianship: Act as a key guardian of the Celonis brand guidelines, ensuring consistency, quality, and visual excellence across all creative outputs from the Bangalore team and collaborating closely with global creative teams.
  • Execution Excellence: Oversee the end-to-end creative process from concept to final delivery, ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
  • Team Collaboration & Independent Leadership: Work collaboratively with the global Brand Design team in Europe while also operating independently to drive creative initiatives in India. Provide creative guidance and mentorship to other team members and cross-functional stakeholders, fostering a strong creative environment.
  • Visual Storytelling: Translate complex technological concepts and business value propositions into clear, compelling, and aesthetically stunning visual narratives.
  • Innovation & Trends: Stay abreast of the latest design trends, tools, and technologies in the SaaS and B2B space, continuously seeking opportunities to innovate and push creative boundaries.

The qualifications you need:

  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, Visual Communication, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of progressive experience in art direction or senior design roles, preferably within a fast-paced technology, SaaS, or B2B environment, or a leading creative agency.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing exceptional conceptual thinking, innovative design solutions, and a proven track record of delivering high-quality creative across diverse channels (digital, print, experiential).
  • Bring a deep passion for creating high-quality artworks and graphical assets – from creative concepts over spectacular keynote presentations, entertaining websites to outstanding campaigns or brand development and experiences in general.
  • Love typography and the beauty of a solid grid layout, and be a passionate Graphic Designer who loves to explore and create contemporary key visuals and artworks – both print and digital.
  • Demonstrated unique market insights, cultural understanding, or a deep appreciation of regional design trends, with the ability to align these effectively to a global brand strategy.
  • Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, XD). Experience with Figma, Sketch, or other UI/UX design tools is a plus.
  • Demonstrated understanding of brand strategy and the ability to translate strategic objectives into impactful visual communications.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate creative concepts clearly and persuasively to non-designers.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
