  • A vision for how CEOs can propel their businesses forward through expansion strategies and growth bets.
  • An excellent understanding of the business economics of financing and fundraising strategies.
  • Exceptional communication and persuasion skills to apply Gartner's research to client situations, and often challenge clients to adjust their priorities.

What you will do:

  • Conduct research to develop actionable and objective insight targeting tech CEOs and their teams.
  • Create unique, thought-provoking, actionable, and highly leveraged "must-have research" content through various media.
  • Advise tech CEOs and founders on scaling the business and prioritizing investments.
  • Help first time founders and tech CEOs to develop tools to establish and scale their organizations.
  • Help experienced founders to stay ahead of emerging innovations in product strategy, go to market approaches, and business management.
  • Help tech CEO's develop tools to establish and scale their organizations.
  • Develop in-depth analysis to identify and diagnose the root cause of a client's barriers or overall needs and reframe thinking to drive strategy forward
  • Provide clients and prospects with actionable advice aligned to their designated content area via virtual or face-to-face interactions
  • Work collaboratively with a globally distributed team of analysts establishing research positions.
  • Bring provocative, independent insights that can evolve the research agenda
  • Create and deliver high-value presentation materials on and off stage for Gartner events, industry and professional association conferences, and client briefings
  • Be client-centric while actively seeking to help clients engage regularly and often with Gartner research and interactions

What you will need:

  • 12+ years of relevant field or industry experience
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • Direct, recent experience as a Startup Tech CEO or founder is highly preferred.
  • Deep knowledge of the global and competitive landscape within the subject area as well as the interplay in that market
  • Strong communicator who is able to explain complex concepts concisely and simply
  • A desire and ability to write effectively and succinctly.
  • Intellectual agility, curiosity, courage to push boundaries
  • Strong organizational skills; ability to work under tight deadlines and produce high-quality deliverables
  • Strong written and verbal proficiency, analytical and presentation skills
  • Proficient in analyzing and synthesizing data
  • Ability to work independently, while also collaborating across teams and supporting the workflow of others, in a multicultural global team
  • Strong business and financial acumen
  • Learning agile and adept at navigating highly matrixed environments
