Description
Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale , unleashing the potential of businesses and people.
As a Channels & Alliances Manager on CAT, you are the engine behind the channel motion for Spanish-Speaking LATAM. You are the connective tissue between Elastic sellers, our partner ecosystem, and the customers they serve. You build partner-sourced pipeline, accelerate deal velocity, and turn partner strategy into repeatable plays the field actually uses.
Partner-Sourced Pipeline and Territory Strategy
- Own partner-sourced pipeline generation and bookings for your assigned territory, in partnership with regional sales leadership.
- Build and maintain a territory game plan. Map accounts on a recurring cadence and as new partners are onboarded, attaching an actionable channel play with a clear next step and named owner.
- Deliver concise regional channel strategy briefings to sales leadership and hold a routine seat on regional forecast calls.
Partner Activation and Enablement
- Own inbound partner onboarding end to end: monitor the partner application queue, run onboarding calls, and execute the standard onboarding framework.
- Drive joint business planning with focus and regional partners. Co-author the joint business plan with solutions architecture leadership, confirm portal access, map target accounts, and lock in a recurring partner cadence.
- Equip partners with the enablement, assets, and plays they need to sell, build, and service with Elastic, and ensure Elastic sellers adopt them.
Deal Execution and Operational Rigor
- Build, quality-check, and submit quotes across reseller, distributor, MSP, and hyperscaler motions, applying the correct programs and incentives.
- Maintain pipeline hygiene: resolve territory duplicates, keep deal notes current, and ensure every opportunity carries an accurate status.
- Enforce partner attach standards on security opportunities, ensuring an eligible focus security partner is attached before the deal advances.
- Manage partner deal registrations end to end, including timely appeals on declined or disputed registrations.
Measurement and Reporting
- Report on regional channel metrics including partner-sourced pipeline and revenue, partner attach rate, average deal size, and hyperscaler attach.
- Monitor customer consumption and opportunity telemetry to surface risk and expansion early.
- Tell the story behind the numbers: where the momentum is, where the gaps are, and what you are adjusting.
What You Bring
- Experience in channel or partner management, alliances, or partner-facing sales, ideally within enterprise software, cloud, or data infrastructure.

- Comfort operating in a CRM daily. Pipeline hygiene, forecasting discipline, and reporting are core to this role, not an afterthought.

- Self-directed and outcome-oriented. You ship, measure, and iterate.
- Ability to travel 30% to visit partners
