[Remote] Director, Partner Ecosystem & Channel Enablement — Global Public Sector

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Elastic is the Search AI Company, providing cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability that help organizations use structured and unstructured data in real time. The Director, Partner Ecosystem & Channel Enablement — Global Public Sector will own distribution relationships and reseller strategy across public sector markets in the United States and Canada, driving partner-sourced revenue, governance, enablement, cloud marketplace execution, and channel performance.


Responsibilities

  • Own joint business plans with public sector distribution partners; define quarterly pipeline targets, reseller recruitment goals, and segment-level priorities across FED, SLED, and AMER Commercial
  • Set and maintain the rules of engagement between Elastic and its distribution partners — including margin policy, back-end rebate structures, deal registration SLAs, reseller tier criteria, and MDF allocation thresholds — in partnership with GPS Operations & Strategy
  • Build and maintain executive-level relationships at the VP/SVP level with distribution leadership, partner and segment sales teams at key public sector distribution partners. Position quarterly business reviews as executive governance sessions — agenda setting, scorecard presentation, and strategic realignment — distinct from tactical cadence management
  • Develop and execute a distribution GTM playbook aligned to Elastic's FY partner-sourced N&E ARR targets and reseller coverage model
  • Partner with Global Public Sector Operations to track distributor performance against KPIs including partner-sourced ARR, deal registration volume, pipeline coverage ratio, and reseller activation rates
  • Own Canada distribution strategy as a discrete workstream: map the Canadian VAR landscape, align to provincial SLED procurement requirements, and develop a distributor coverage model for the CA market
  • Build relationships with Canadian distribution leadership and identify net-new reseller recruitment opportunities specific to the Canadian Public Sector and commercial market
  • Ensure Canada-specific contract vehicles, provincial procurement channels, and compliance requirements are reflected in joint business plans and GTM execution
  • Develop and execute a cloud marketplace transactional strategy through distribution, aligning AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and GCP Marketplace vehicles with distributor co-sell motions and reseller procurement preferences
  • Partner with Elastic's cloud alliances teams (AWS, Azure, GCP) to ensure marketplace-eligible deals sourced through distribution are properly attributed and incentivized
  • Track marketplace transaction volume through distribution as a separate KPI, and develop playbooks for expanding marketplace-led procurement across FED and SLED segments
  • Build the enablement infrastructure for distribution partner technical readiness — including demo environments, lab guides, battlecards, and certification tracks specific to Search, Observability, and Security solutions
  • Orchestrate quarterly distributor enablement sessions featuring technical tracks for AI search and SIEM alongside business reviews and incentive updates
  • Accelerate reseller certification rates through tight coordination with distribution and proactive reporting in collaboration with the Elastic Partner Enablement organization
  • Support distributor-led sales cycles by delivering technical product demonstrations when additional pre-sales resources are required through the distribution channel
  • Identify, recruit, and enable net-new resellers through public sector distribution partners; own reseller tiering decisions and partner program alignment
  • Drive reseller activation through demand generation programs, MDF utilization, and joint marketing motions coordinated through distribution
  • Collaborate with Elastic's Partner Enablement team to ensure resellers achieve required certifications and training completion milestones
  • Maintain a healthy, active reseller pipeline across AMER Commercial and U.S. Public Sector (FED and SLED)
  • Partner with sales managers (RVPs, ASMs) and partner managers across GPS to integrate distribution into account and territory planning
  • Work with Global Public Sector Operations & Strategy on distributor discount structures, incentive programs, and data integrity within Salesforce/Impartner. Set quoting policy; tactical quoting execution remains with the distributor
  • Collaborate with Elastic's Marketing team to develop and deploy partner-funded demand generation campaigns through public sector distribution partners
  • Escalate and resolve distributor-facing channel conflicts, pricing disputes, and deal registration exceptions in coordination with Global Public Sector leadership and Deal Desk

Skills

  • * 7+ years of channel sales or partner management experience, with at least 3 years focused on distribution (Arrow, Carahsoft, Ingram, TD SYNNEX, or equivalent)
  • * Demonstrated track record of driving partner-sourced revenue through distributor-managed reseller ecosystems
  • * Demonstrated experience owning or contributing to channel program design: margin structures, rebate models, deal registration frameworks, or reseller tier criteria
  • * Deep familiarity with U.S. Public Sector procurement channels, key contract vehicles (GSA Schedule, GWACs, IDIQs), and FED/SLED go-to-market motions
  • * Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder distributor relationships across sales, marketing, and executive functions — including VP/SVP-level engagement
  • * Strong command of channel mechanics: deal registration, margin stacking, MDF management, reseller tiering, and co-sell program execution
  • * Proficiency in Salesforce CRM for pipeline management, reporting, and partner attribution workflows
  • * Excellent executive communication skills — written, verbal, and presentation
  • * Experience with Elastic, Splunk, Datadog, CrowdStrike, or another enterprise infrastructure/security/observability vendor
  • * Familiarity with partner program platforms (Impartner, Alliances, Salesforce PRM) and co-sell tools (Tackle/Clazar, WorkSpan)
  • * Demonstrated experience developing and executing a cloud marketplace transactional strategy through distribution (AWS MP, Azure MP, GCP MP)
  • * Canada market experience: VAR landscape, provincial SLED procurement, and Canadian distributor relationships
  • * Prior experience supporting partner attribution framework rollouts or channel operations transformations

Benefits

  • A company-matched 401k with dollar-for-dollar matching up to 6% of eligible earnings.
