We are scaling a delivery team across EMEA and APJ — with significant headcount growth expected through 2027 and 2028 — building a dual-mode delivery capability, shifting to Fixed Price engagement models, embedding AI into how we deliver and engage clients, and growing a client base that demands senior, outcome-focused leadership. All at once. • This role carries real financial weight and a real transformation mandate. You will have the authority to reshape how an international team operates, the commercial platform to build lasting client partnerships across two major regions, and the executive visibility to influence how Elastic goes to market with its consulting capability globally. • If you have built delivery organisations, owned the numbers, led through transformation, embraced AI as a genuine force multiplier, and made Fixed Price work where others haven't — and you are looking for a role where all of it matters — this is it. • Additional Information - We Take Care of Our People • As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity.
