Integration meets Innovation

At Celigo, we believe integration should empower — not exhaust — innovation. As a modern Integration and Automation Platform (iPaaS), we’re on a mission to simplify how companies integrate, automate, and optimize processes. Powered by game-changing technology like runtime AI and prebuilt, mission-critical integrations, Celigo is redefining how businesses connect their world.

Celigo is at the forefront of the agentic automation transformation. We are hiring a Strategy Director, AI to drive this Go-to-Market shift. Reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, you will serve as the primary subject matter expert for our AI capabilities, working directly with the C-suite of our customers to identify and deploy high-value use cases. You will bridge the gap between technical innovation and sales execution, ensuring our customers understand and adopt our AI vision and help craft Celigo’s AI strategy

What would you do if hired?

• Drive AI GTM Strategy: Partner with the CSO to define and execute the GTM motion for Celigo’s AI portfolio, specifically focusing on the shift to Agentic workflows.
• Customer Advisory & Sales Support: Act as a subject matter expert in sales cycles. Engage with customer CIOs and CDOs to diagnose business challenges and prescribe AI-driven automation solutions.
• Evangelism & Thought Leadership: Represent Celigo at industry conferences and events. Deliver keynotes and produce white papers that validate Celigo’s position in the AI ecosystem.
• Use Case Definition: Translate abstract AI trends (LLMs, RAG, Agents) into concrete business use cases for customers. Help them visualize the ROI of moving from static integrations to autonomous agents.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Lead cross-functional initiatives across Sales, Product, and Marketing to align internal teams on specific AI business outcomes.
• Demo Development: Conceptualize and work with Celigo’s technical team to build demos to illustrate complex AI use cases during customer meetings.
