- Cross-functional partnership: Work hand-in-glove with Solutions Architects, Customer Architecture, Marketing, and RevOps to accelerate deals and drive exceptional customer outcomes.

- 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, high-ACV contracts while protecting margin and securing executive stakeholder buy-in.

- Technical & cloud fluency: Comfortable discussing a broad range of technical topics including observability, security, vector/traditional search, and cloud cost optimization.

- Collaborative mindset & coachability: A learner who partners effectively with internal teams, incorporates feedback, and embodies Elastic’s values of community and openness.

- 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.
