The Opportunity

We are looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to own a brand-new territory: AI-native companies across Latin America. This is not a managed-account role. This is a hunter position at the start of something real.The groundwork is laid. The timing is now.

This is the first dedicated AE position for AI-native accounts in Latin America. The segment is real, the pipeline is identified, and the market timing is exceptional. Elastic is not a challenger here. We are the Search AI company, trusted by more than 50% of the Fortune 500 — and we are just starting to go deep in this segment. If you want to own a territory from the ground up, with the backing of a global platform and the energy of a new market, this is it.

Latin America is generating its first wave of genuinely AI-native companies and these companies need what Elastic does best: Search AI at scale, enterprise-grade Security, and Observability that keeps up with their growth. And right now, no one at Elastic is dedicated to them. That changes with this hire.

What You Will Do

• Build and own a regional territory focused on AI-native companies across Latin America
• Sell Elastic's Search AI Platform across three pillars: Search AI, Security (SIEM/XDR), and Observability
• Engage CTO, CISO, and VP Engineering at high-growth AI-native companies across the region
• Activate and develop strategic partnerships as regional channel multipliers
• Own Your Territory & Build Pipeline: Develop and execute a proactive outbound strategy across entities in São Paulo, leveraging community, customer, and partner ecosystems to generate ≥ 50% of your booked opportunities.
• Deep Discovery & Qualification: Uncover business pains, business impact, budgets, and decision criteria using disciplined frameworks like MEDDPICC to manage high-confidence pipeline.
• Value Storytelling & Demos: Deliver tailored narratives and demonstrations that map Elastic’s Search AI, Observability, and Security capabilities to core priorities and digital transformation.
• Mutual Deal Strategy & Forecast Accuracy: Collaborate with stakeholders to construct formal close plans, managing sales cycles and drive predictable sales execution by maintaining 90%+ forecast accuracy within +/- 10%.
• Executive Negotiation & Closing: Guide complex procurement processes, structuring give/get trades and securing multi-year consumption and project commitments.
• Complex Project Execution: Drive high-value, complex projects into net-new logos while expanding Elastic usage across our current installed base.
• Domain & Cloud Acumen: Position Elastic as the Search AI platform of choice by speaking fluently about cloud economics, usage-based pricing, and modern enterprise data architectures.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Work hand-in-glove with Solutions Architects, Customer Success, Marketing, and strategic Channel Partners (distributors/integrators) to accelerate deals and deliver measurable customer outcomes.

What You Will Bring

• 5–8 years of enterprise SaaS or cloud sales, consistently above quota
• Experience leading AI, data, or cybersecurity platforms
• Proven hunter: you build your own pipeline and thrive opening new accounts
• Experience engaging CTO and technical leadership at high-growth tech companies
