- Deep discovery & qualification: Uncover pain, business impact, budget, and decision criteria using frameworks like MEDDPICC so you chase only the highest-confidence deals.
- 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

- The Right Blend: A combination of high-level technical curiosity and the grit of a value-based seller.
- Proven Track Record: Success in SaaS subscription sales in Enterprise accounts, evidenced by overachievement.
- Value Storytelling: The ability to craft tailored narratives that link Elastic’s technical capabilities (Search, Observability, Security) to measurable business outcomes like revenue gain or risk mitigation is critical.
- Executive negotiation & closing: Lead high-stakes contract and pricing discussions
- Technical & cloud fluency: Comfortable discussing a broad range of technical topics including security, observability, vector/traditional search, and cloud cost optimization.
- Relationship Building: Adept at establishing credibility with both technical developers and executive leadership.
- Mutual deal strategy & forecast accuracy: Consistent, predictable and accurate sales forecasting skills. Collaborate with customers to build formal close plans and keep your CRM up to date.
