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.
