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.

What is The Role:

The Product Finance team is seeking a Senior FP&A Manager to take the lead in managing our hosting costs, including both COGS and operating expenses. If you’re passionate about optimizing cloud margin and driving real impact at a growing SaaS company, we want you on our team!

What You Will Be Doing:

1. Analyze cloud costs, revenue, and margins, across platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). Build models to support growth initiatives and enable strategic contract negotiations with cloud providers.
2. Provide analytics and recommendations while serving as a strategic thought partner to Engineering leaders in improving Elastic Cloud contribution margin.
3. Lead modeling projects in partnership with the pricing and product management teams, supporting initiatives like new products and features, pricing, and more.
4. This role focuses on cloud hosting, but the team offers opportunities to work on diverse and impactful projects. You'll also help develop a culture of collaboration by mentoring and empowering junior team members.

What You Bring:

Excellent interpersonal skills to build positive relationships and communicate across functions and regions are key to success! A passion for learning more about Elastic’s products and how they fit into the larger tech industry is crucial.
