Co-Leading design wins - you work collaboratively on design wins, meaning they assist in developing the technical blueprint for industry-specific solutions that partners can use in their go-to-market strategies, effectively boosting activation.
Driving technical advocacy and earning trust - you foster a deeper technical rapport with the partner, aiding their ability to comprehend and advocate for Elastic solutions, which is a key component for partner activation. Build trusted relationships with senior technical individuals.
Supporting co-marketing efforts - you provide the technical backbone to marketing campaigns, ensuring that the partner’s messaging accurately reflects the capabilities and benefits of Elastic’s offerings, which is important for an effective activation campaign.
Authoring customer-facing publications - you stay on top of market trends around cloud and industry best practices, building deep relationships with technical leaders inside and outside of the company, contributing to publications, white papers, blogs, and sales collateral.
