• Act as a Trusted Advisor: Work closely with agency leaders, enterprise architects, and CISO/CIO teams to solve complex mission challenges through AI-powered search, log analytics, APM, and threat hunting.

• Execute Complex FedCiv Sales Cycles: Proactively identify new programs, navigate federal procurement pathways (GSA, NASA SEWP, agency-specific IDIQs), and manage matrixed sales pursuits from lead to close.

• Champion the Elastic Model: Articulate the immense value of our commercial features and cloud offerings while leveraging our open-source roots and vibrant community ecosystem.

• Build Ecosystem Coalitions: Develop comprehensive territory plans utilizing systems integrators, VARs, cloud partners (AWS, Azure, GCP), and federal channel programs to accelerate deal velocity and account expansion.

What You Bring

• Domain Expertise: Strong understanding of Enterprise Search, Log Analytics, Security/SIEM, APM, Observability, and Cloud architectures.

• Value-Based Seller: Adept at navigating both technical teams (developers, SOC analysts) and executive decision-makers (CXOs, Program Managers, Procurement).

• Forecasting Discipline: Consistent history of accurate pipeline management and sales forecasting using Salesforce (SFDC).

• Open Source Appreciation: Enthusiasm for the open-source software model and the community that relies on our technology.

• Consistent Career Growth demonstrating a strong track record of career stability, meaningful tenure, and sustained progression within organizations.

Bonus Points
