Territory Account Executive

What Is The Role

Elastic, the Search AI company, is looking for a high-energy Territory Account Executive to drive net-new revenue and expansion within strategic accounts across Poland and Central Europe region. You'll be the owner of a defined territory where you'll build your own pipeline, tell the Elastic Search AI story, and close complex, multi-stakeholder deals in a consumption-based model. This role sits at the intersection of sales execution, technical fluency, and cross-functional collaboration—and is critical to our growth in the Enterprise segment.

What You Will Be Doing

Own your territory & build pipeline : Develop and execute a proactive outbound cadence (email, call, social) that generates ≥50 % of your booked opportunities.

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

Value storytelling & demos : Craft and deliver tailored narratives and live demos that map Elastic's Search, Observability, and Security capabilities to measurable business outcomes.

Mutual deal strategy & forecast accuracy : Collaborate with customers to build formal close plans and keep your CRM up-to-date, maintaining ≥90 % forecast accuracy within ±10 %.

Executive negotiation & closing : Lead high-stakes contract and pricing discussions—defend your value, structure give / get trades, and land multi-year consumption commitments.

Domain & cloud acumen : Position Elastic as the Search AI platform of choice by speaking fluently about cloud economics, usage-based pricing, and modern data architectures.

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

Proven SaaS quota‐carrying success : 5+ years closing complex Enterprise deals, consistently overachieving targets in a consumption-based or usage-model environment.

Expert discovery & qualification skills : Demonstrated ability to apply MEDDPICC or equivalent frameworks to drive disciplined pipeline and eliminate low-probability deals.

Compelling value storytellers : Track record of delivering executive-level presentations and demos that tie product capabilities to real dollars saved, revenue gained, or risk mitigated.

Strong negotiation chops : History of landing multi-year, high-ACV contracts while protecting margin and securing executive stakeholder buy-in.

Technical & cloud fluency : Comfortable discussing a broad range of technical topics including observability, security, vector / traditional search, and cloud cost optimization.

Collaborative mindset & coachability : A learner who partners effectively with internal teams, incorporates feedback, and embodies Elastic's values of community and openness.

Open Source enthusiasm : Genuine appreciation for open-source communities and the Elastic model—bonus if you've sold or advocated in an OSS context.

Bonus Points

Prior experience at an open-source or developer‐centric infrastructure company.

Familiarity with observability (logs, metrics, traces) or security analytics (SIEM / XDR) use cases.
