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. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

What is the Role:

Elastic is building a dedicated AI Native Accounts organization focused on partnering with the world's most innovative AI companies. We are seeking an extraordinary Strategic Account Executive to help define how the next generation of AI companies build, scale, and innovate using the Elastic Search AI Platform.
This is one of the most strategic individual contributor roles at Elastic.

You will work directly with executive and technical leaders to help solve some of the industry's most complex AI, search, and data challenges while accelerating adoption of the Elastic Search AI Platform.
Success in this role extends well beyond revenue attainment. You will serve as a trusted advisor, develop long-term executive relationships, influence product strategy through customer insight, and play a meaningful role in one of Elastic's highest-priority growth initiatives.
Location: Texas and West

  • Drive Complex Enterprise Sales Cycles: Lead sophisticated enterprise sales opportunities from discovery through executive alignment, commercial negotiation, procurement, and successful adoption. Navigate complex buying environments while creating alignment across technical, business, and executive stakeholders.
  • Develop Executive Account StrategiesBuild comprehensive account plans that identify executive sponsors, technical champions, whitespace opportunities, competitive positioning, ecosystem partners, and long-term expansion strategies designed to maximize customer success and business growth.
  • Partner Across the AI Ecosystem: Collaborate with cloud providers, hyperscalers, AI platform companies, strategic technology partners, and systems integrators to develop scalable sell-with strategies that accelerate customer adoption and strengthen Elastic's position within the AI ecosystem.
  • Influence Product Strategy: Serve as the voice of the customer by partnering closely with Product Management and Engineering. Deliver meaningful market intelligence and customer feedback that helps shape the future of the Elastic Search AI Platform.
  • Deliver Predictable Business Results: Consistently achieve and exceed revenue objectives through disciplined account planning, pipeline management, accurate forecasting, opportunity inspection, and operational excellence.

What You Bring:

  • Enterprise Sales Excellence: A proven track record of consistently exceeding quota while managing complex enterprise software sales cycles involving executive stakeholders, technical decision-makers, and global organizations.
  • AI & Modern Infrastructure Expertise: Strong understanding of today's AI landscape, including large language models (LLMs), AI infrastructure, developer platforms, cloud-native architectures, modern data platforms, and enterprise AI adoption. Comfortable engaging in strategic technical conversations with engineering and AI leaders.
  • Executive Presence: Demonstrated success building trusted relationships with founders, C-level executives, engineering leaders, and technical decision-makers. Skilled at influencing strategic business outcomes through executive engagement and value-based selling.
  • Strategic Thinking: Ability to develop long-term account strategies, identify growth opportunities, navigate complex organizations, and execute against multi-year customer plans.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven ability to collaborate effectively across Sales, Solutions Architecture, Product Management, Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing, and Strategic Alliances to deliver exceptional customer outcomes.
