Responsibilities

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.
