Join the cavalis team
At cavalis, we believe the next generation of consulting is hands-on, data-driven and powered by AI. We are looking for a Project / Engagement Manager who combines consulting experience, technical understanding and a talent for client relationships to take responsibility for our client engagements and help us grow them.
In this role, you act as the bridge between client stakeholders and our delivery team. You steer projects on time, on budget and at quality, and you make sure our clients see measurable value from their data and processes.
About us
cavalis is a boutique consultancy headquartered in Munich, founded by former Celonis leaders. Our mission is to build the Data Intelligence Factory of the future.
We are rooted in process mining excellence, but our vision goes further. We transform enterprise data into tangible outcomes by combining process expertise, data science and AI. Our founders have helped shape the process mining category, and today we are expanding this DNA into the broader field of Data Intelligence Consulting.
Why cavalis
- Be part of a growing consultancy where your work makes a visible difference.
- Work on projects that span process mining, data analytics and AI/ML – sometimes combined, sometimes standalone.
- Develop and deploy real solutions with SQL, Python and analytics frameworks inside customer environments.
- Work closely with clients, from operational teams to senior executives.
- Grow continuously through trainings, certifications and mentorship in both consulting and technology.
The role
As a Project / Engagement Manager you take responsibility for complex client engagements and, over time, for an entire client patch. You are the primary contact for client stakeholders and lead our delivery team, combining hands-on consulting with operational steering.
Depending on your experience, you join as Project Manager or Engagement Manager. You work closely with our founders, steer consultants and FDEs, and represent cavalis with senior stakeholders on the client side.
The work you will do
- Lead client projects end-to-end, from scoping to delivery, and keep them on time, on budget and at quality.
- Identify high-value use cases together with business stakeholders, and make sure we work on topics that create measurable, material value for the client.
- Act as the main link between client stakeholders and the project team: set priorities, clear blockers and give regular feedback.
- Develop account strategy and build trusted relationships up to executive level. Use proven value to spot follow-on opportunities, and shape proposals together with our founders.
- Stay close to the content: understand data models, analyses and AI use cases well enough to challenge solutions and guide your team.
- Coach and develop team members, and contribute to feedback cycles and calibration.
- Feed client learnings back to our solution experts so that successful solutions become reusable offerings.
Qualifications you need
- 4+ years of experience as a consultant in data-driven consulting, process excellence, analytics or comparable roles, with demonstrable business impact.
- Experience leading client projects and project teams, including planning, budget and quality responsibility.
- Strong technical affinity: a good understanding of data and analytics topics, ideally hands-on experience with SQL and Python as well as BI, process intelligence or AI platforms (Celonis experience is a plus).
- Track record of managing senior client stakeholders and of leading workshops and steering committees.
- Commercial mindset and interest in growing accounts, with first experience in follow-on sales or proposal work.
- Fluency in German and English, paired with excellent communication and structured problem-solving skills.
- Excellent academic background in Business Informatics, Industrial Engineering, Economics, Information Management, Data Science or a comparable field.
Ready to take ownership of your own client patch? If you want to work at the intersection of data analytics, process intelligence and AI, and to lead engagements with real responsibility, apply today and join cavalis in building the next chapter of data-driven transformation.
