Mutual deal strategy & forecast accuracy: Collaborate with customers to build formal close plans and keep your CRM up-to-date, maintaining ≥90 % forecast accuracy within ±10 %. Executive negotiation & closing: Lead contract and pricing discussions—defend your value, structure give/get trades, and land multi-year consumption commitments. Domain & cloud acumen: Position Elastic as the Search AI platform of choice by speaking fluently about cloud economics, usage-based pricing, and modern data architectures. Cross-functional partnership: Work hand-in-glove with Solutions Architects, Customer Success, Marketing, and RevOps to accelerate deals and drive exceptional customer outcomes. What You Bring Proven SaaS quota‐carrying success: 2+ years closing Mid Market/Enterprise deals, consistently overachieving targets in a consumption-based or usage-model environment. Expert discovery & qualification skills: Demonstrated ability to apply MEDDPICC or equivalent frameworks to drive focused pipeline and eliminate low-probability deals. Compelling value storytellers: Track record of delivering executive-level presentations and demos that tie product capabilities to real dollars saved, revenue gained, or risk mitigated. Strong negotiation chops: History of landing multi-year, contracts while protecting margin and securing executive customer buy-in. Technical & cloud fluency: Comfortable discussing a broad range of technical topics including observability, security, vector/traditional search, and cloud cost optimization. Collaborative attitude & coachability: A learner who partners effectively with internal teams, incorporates feedback, and embodies Elastic’s values of community and willingness. Open Source enthusiasm: Genuine appreciation for open-source communities and the Elastic model—bonus if you’ve sold or advocated in an OSS context. Bonus Points Prior experience at an open-source or developer‐centric infrastructure company. Familiarity with observability (logs, metrics, traces) or security analytics (SIEM/XDR) use cases.
