Senior Partner Solutions Architect

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

What is the role

The Partner Solutions Architect (PSA) is the technical force multiplier of Elastic's partner ecosystem. Where an account Solutions Architect wins one deal at a time, you build the technical capacity of a focused portfolio of partners — system integrators, resellers, MSSPs and cloud providers — so they source pipeline, win deals and deliver Elastic without us in the room.

The role rests on three pillars: drive growth with and through partners (partner-sourced pipeline); act as an architect of leverage (every partner engineer you certify adds technical selling capacity Elastic didn't have to hire); and co-innovate on repeatable solutions (joint blueprints, demos and partner-built offerings on our technology — including vertical and managed solutions Elastic doesn't build itself).

This is a pre-sales role that carries a partner-sourced pipeline target. You will work a defined portfolio of managed partners, each with an agreed technical engagement plan, and be measured on outputs — partner sourced deals, committed engagement plans and published assets — not on activity volume.
