About this role:

Gartner analysts ensure that our executive clients receive the best strategic business advice, support, and direction for their decision-making. To optimize client impact, analysts are responsible for developing must-have content, performing stellar client Interactions, and driving performance to help scale and innovate our research. In addition, analysts are responsible for innovative research, timely delivery cadence and collaboration within and across teams.

As part of Gartner's Sales and Customer Service practice, you'll research and analyze market trends and shifts, and provide clients, with actionable insights based on market research and positioning. You'll advise Chief Sales Officers (CSOs) and their key direct reports on developing go-to-market (GTM) strategies and implementing Go-To-Market tactics to help acquire new customers and retain and grow existing customer accounts.

You'll also provide strategic advice, guidance and collaboration recommendations for partnering with adjacent teams in marketing, product, customer success and supply chain.

What you'll do:

• Create insightful and actionable research in multiple formats (i.e., writing, video, infographics, podcasts) on best practices and techniques for enterprise B2B sales organizations to effectively roadmap, implement and optimize a cohesive, effective revenue technology stack.
• Deliver actionable advice and represent thought leadership rooted in quantitative and qualitative data sources to B2B sales leaders through video-based presentations and discussions with clients.

Alternative relevant career experiences could include sales line leadership, sales operations or enablement, B2B marketing, product management, and management consulting.
• A strong understanding of the sales function and the needs of sales, revenue, and commercial leaders with the ability to link best practices back to their functional business goals.

This role requires subject matter expertise in at least three of the following areas:

• Must have an intimate understanding of B2B sales with degrees of fluency in topics such as:
  • Developing the overarching commercial/GTM strategy
  • Defining the addressable market
  • Customer segmentation strategies (e.g., verticalization, needs-based, ideal customer profiles, etc),
  • Customer tiering or resourcing models,
  • Channel selection and deployment, Indirect channel partner programs, digital channel optimization, minimizing channel conflict,
  • Pricing strategies, navigating the product lifecycle, collaboration with cross-functional commercial colleagues (e.g., marketing, customer service/success, product, finance, etc.) and more.

Additional Proven Skills Required Include:

• Strong business acumen as well as analytical skills.

• Demonstrated capacity to piece together fragments of information - applying conceptual models, recognizing patterns, and drawing and framing conclusions in real time - with clients and during meetings.
• High comfort level with presenting and defending your analysis to the seniormost sales leader in a B2B organization, plus openness to constructive feedback.
• Impeccable time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; graduate degree a plus.
• Ability to conduct occasional travel, regionally and globally.

Who You Are:

• To thrive in this role, it helps if you are obsessed with your topic. Gartner analysts are correctly viewed as THE experts. This means you need to live and breathe your subject matter while also adapting your expertise to meet client maturity level.
• Excellent collaborator with researchers, sales and otheranalysts, with the ability to quickly build rapport and gain client trust.
• Confident presenter with a high level of executive presence and ability to establish credibility with senior-level audiences (prior experience with speaking engagements is a plus).
