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 Elastic, the Search AI company, is looking for a high-energy, hunter-minded Senior Account Executive to own and grow our Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) ecosystem across the UK and Ireland. This is a dual-motion role: recruit net-new MSSP partners into the Elastic programme and expand the commercial footprint of existing MSSP relationships—driving revenue both ‘to’ and ‘through’ partners
The UK managed security services market is growing at nearly 12% per year. Forward-looking MSSPs are moving away from legacy SIEM platforms toward Elastic Security: an agentic platform with resource-based pricing that scales with partner economics. You will help MSSPs unlock the value of Elastic’s AI-driven threat detection, native automation, and open architecture—enabling them to serve more customers with better margins and a genuinely differentiated service
What You Will Be Doing Recruit & develop new MSSP partners: Identify and engage target MSSPs and security-focused MSPs across UKI, leading the conversation from prospecting through programme enrolment and first revenue
Grow existing MSSP relationships: Own a portfolio of established partners; build joint business plans, define security service roadmaps, and expand Elastic’s footprint across their customer base
Build & forecast an accurate pipeline: Manage a healthy pipeline of ‘to’ and ‘through’ partner opportunities, maintaining ≥90% forecast accuracy and CRM hygiene throughout
Tell the Elastic value story: Deliver tailored narratives connecting Elastic Security’s platform—Attack Discovery, AI Assistant, Workflows, Agent Builder, resource-based pricing—to the commercial outcomes MSSPs care about: margin, scalability, and differentiation
Shape the partner’s security roadmap: Collaborate with partner product and operations teams to build a capability roadmap on Elastic, enabling scalable managed security service delivery across cloud, on-premise, or hybrid
Enable partner sales & technical teams: Train MSSP teams on Elastic’s proposition and co-create joint go-to-market plans aligned to the Elastic Partner Programme
