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

 

Elastic is looking for a disruptive force in the Public Sector space—someone with a relentless drive to open new doors, challenge the status quo and solve complex customer problems with curiosity and tenacity. This is not just about selling; it's about empowering Public Sector organisations to unlock the full potential of their data through search-powered solutions.


We'd love to hear from you if you're passionate about open source, innovation, and transforming how government agencies operate.

 

What Will You Be Doing:

  • Expanding Elastic’s presence within key Public Sector accounts, particularly HMRC and DWP, by identifying and unlocking new opportunities.
  • Acting as a trusted advisor, helping customers extract real-world value from their data and accelerate digital transformation.
  • Evangelizing Open Source and championing Elastic’s search-powered solutions across Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security.
  • Uncovering and driving new use cases by working directly with technical teams, developers, and decision-makers.
  • Collaborating across business functions, partners, and communities to create a robust ecosystem that fuels sustained growth.
  • Managing complex sales cycles and delivering predictable and accurate forecasts.

What You Bring

  • A track record of overachievement in Public Sector SaaS sales, with a growth-driven mindset and a proven ability to break into new accounts.
  • Deep domain knowledge of Public Sector challenges and the ability to engage with both technical and executive stakeholders.
  • Experience selling into HMRC, DWP, or similar UK government organisations.
  • Passion for Open Source and Elastic’s community-driven approach.
  • Ability to navigate complex procurement processes while maintaining agility and speed in execution.

The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
