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 Writer & Copy Editor (Manager) to craft, refine, and elevate the stories that define our platform, solutions and our brand. Reporting to the Head of Editorial & Social Media, you’ll write, edit, and polish content for Elastic’s owned channels, thought-leadership pieces for media and content for social. You’ll act as both creator and editor, ensuring every piece of content is compelling, accurate and aligned with our editorial standards and brand voice.

This role requires both creativity and precision. You’ll originate and produce engaging content, conduct research, interview experts, and repurpose material from a variety of sources to tell the Elastic story across search, AI, observability, and security. You’ll also be responsible for copy-editing a high volume of communications, ensuring consistency and clarity across channels.

This role is based in North America.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Write and edit high-impact content tailored to all our audiences, from developers to business leaders, including blogs, customer stories, bylines, and op-eds.
  • Serve as the copy editor across our newsroom hub, ensuring quality, consistency, grammar, and alignment with editorial goals.
  • Conduct research, interviews, and reporting to produce original content when needed.
  • Conduct research and interviews with Elastic's experts, customers, and community members to develop authentic stories.
  • Partner with PR, campaigns, product marketing, and social media to ensure content aligns with launches, events, and broader comms priorities.

What You Bring

  • A deep interest and expertise in tech news and feature writing with a recent background in journalism and at least 5–7+ years of professional writing and editing experience.
  • Exceptional writing experience with the ability to adapt your style and edit for another person’s voice.
  • Strong copy-editing skills, with a sharp attention to detail, grammar, clarity, and flow.
  • Strong project management skills, with experience building schedules, managing deadlines, and coordinating reviews across stakeholders.
  • Are energized by Elastic’s open-source roots and excited to tell stories about how our community and customers use our technology to solve real-world problems.

    Elastic believes that employees should have the opportunity to share in the value that we create together for our shareholders. Therefore, in addition to cash compensation, this role is currently eligible to participate in Elastic's stock program. Our total rewards package also includes a company-matched 401k with dollar-for-dollar matching up to 6% of eligible earnings, along with a range of other benefits offered with a holistic emphasis on employee well-being.
