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 RoleElastic, the Search AI company, is looking for a high-energy Senior Public Sector Account Executive (Public Sector Account Executive III) to drive net-new revenue and expansion within strategic accounts. You’ll be the owner of a defined territory where you’ll build your own pipeline, tell the Elastic Search AI story, and close complex, multi-stakeholder deals in a consumption-based model. This role sits at the intersection of sales execution, technical fluency, and cross-functional collaboration—and is critical to our growth in the Enterprise segment. What You Will Be Doing - Own your territory & build pipeline: Develop and execute a proactive outbound cadence (email, call, social) that generates ≥50 % of your booked opportunities. - Deep discovery & qualification: Uncover pain, business impact, budget, and decision criteria using frameworks like MEDDPICC so you chase only the highest-confidence deals. - Value storytelling & demos: Craft and deliver tailored narratives and live demos that map Elastic’s Search, Observability, and Security capabilities to measurable business outcomes. - Mutual deal strategy & forecast accuracy: Collaborate with customers to build formal close plans and keep your CRM up-to-date, maintaining ≥90 % forecast accuracy within ±10 %. - Executive negotiation & closing: Lead high-stakes contract and pricing discussions—defend your value, structure give/get trades, and land multi-year consumption commitments. - Domain & cloud acumen: Position Elastic as the Search AI platform of choice by speaking fluently about cloud economics, usage-based pricing, and modern data architectures. - Cross-functional partnership: Work hand-in-glove with Solutions Architects, Customer Success, Marketing, and RevOps to accelerate deals and drive exceptional customer outcomes. What You Bring - Proven SaaS quota‐carrying success: 5+ years closing complex deals within the Public Sector in Sweden and consistently overachieving targets in a consumption-based or usage-model environment. - Experience in selling one of those solutions is a strong plus: search, security, observability - Expert discovery & qualification skills: Demonstrated ability to apply MEDDPICC or equivalent frameworks to drive disciplined pipeline and eliminate low-probability deals. - Compelling value storytellers: Track record of delivering executive-level presentations and demos that tie product capabilities to real dollars saved, revenue gained, or risk mitigated. - Strong negotiation chops: History of landing multi-year, high-ACV contracts while protecting margin and securing executive stakeholder buy-in. - Technical & cloud fluency: Comfortable discussing a broad range of technical topics including observability, security, vector/traditional search, and cloud cost optimization. - Collaborative mindset & coachability: A learner who partners effectively with internal teams, incorporates feedback, and embodies Elastic’s values of community and openness. - Open Source enthusiasm: Genuine appreciation for open-source communities and the Elastic model—bonus if you’ve sold or advocated in an OSS context. - Fluent in Swedish (business level or native) Bonus Points - Prior experience at an open-source or developer‐centric infrastructure company. - Familiarity with observability (logs, metrics, traces) or security analytics (SIEM/XDR) use cases. If you’re driven to build your own pipeline, master complex deal cycles, and help customers unlock the power of Search AI, we’d love to talk. Apply today!

BlockBlock builds simple, powerful tools that make progress towards an economy that’s truly open to all.
Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn't work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we've embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale. Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We're building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same. The Role Location: Vancouver Island, Victoria, BC At Square, we're re-imagining how small and midsize businesses grow. As a Sales Account Executive on our Outbound Team, you'll bring Square's ecosystem to new sellers across diverse industries by building, shaping, and closing your own pipeline. You'll run sophisticated, multi-product deals from the first touch to final close — blending hunter instincts, consultative depth, and strategic execution. If you're an experienced closer who thrives in outbound environments, loves solving meaningful business challenges, and consistently delivers against ambitious targets — this is your role. You Will - Own the full outbound sales cycle — from prospecting to negotiation to close — with SMB and mid-market merchants. - Build and manage a high-quality pipeline through cold outreach, social selling, targeted campaigns, and creative outbound strategies. - Develop multi-product solutions across Square's ecosystem and tailor them to each merchant's unique needs. - Partner with Business Development on lead flow while independently driving net-new logo acquisition. - Conduct high-impact discovery, demos, and negotiations with decisiveness across multi-stakeholder deals. - Act as a consultant and trusted advisor — seamlessly flexing across BDR, AE, and AM responsibilities when needed. - Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Implementation, and Operations to deliver cohesive solutions. - Maintain disciplined pipeline management and forecasting accuracy in Salesforce. - Consistently hit and exceed revenue goals — monthly and quarterly. You Have - 3+ years of full-cycle B2B sales experience with consistent quota achievement. - Proven success in outbound prospecting and net-new business creation (SaaS or fintech preferred). - Experience closing complex, multi-threaded deals with longer sales cycles. - Ability to build pipeline from scratch using targeted, strategic outreach. - Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills across phone, video, and written channels. - Strong consultative selling skills — diagnose business challenges and map tailored solutions. - A hunter's mindset — resilient, creative, and driven to win. - Ability to work independently while contributing to a team-first environment. - Advanced proficiency with Salesforce and modern sales tools.
