- Conduct primary research into ERP and EPM products in the market, strategy, capabilities, best practices, vendor selection, use cases, market trends, contract negotiation, and implementation/deployment - with a focus on SAP.
- Work with different focus areas across Forrester research teams to develop a complete research portfolio on enterprise applications including related areas such as app portfolio rationalization and addressing tech debt.
- Create high quality, actionable, analytically deep and fact-based research content throughout the year.

- Consult with clients to apply Forrester's research in the context of their specific business environment and help solve their problems through inquiry, guidance, and advisory engagements.
- Establish an industry presence as an influential speaker and thinker; build relationships with journalists who cover the sector; participate in vendor briefings and field press inquiries as necessary.
- Support sales in client development discussions.
Job Requirements:
- At least 10 years as a research analyst, consultant, or practitioner where the successful candidate had led or been involved in ERP strategy, vendor selection and contract negotiation, deployment and maintenance or an equal amount of time as product manager for vendors that serve the market.

- A deep intellectual curiosity about the effect of technology on the business landscape; solid business instincts and a practical understanding of what makes companies tick; and a creative view of markets, technologies, and attitudes combined with a fascination with the future.
- History of developing leading-edge thinking around technology management issues, including tech strategy, best practices, vendor selection, and contract negotiation, and tech/software deployment and management in either a corporate or consulting environment or services industry or ERP product vendor space.
- Superior listening, critical thinking, and writing skills, as well as memorable presentation skills. The ability to take complex, disparate ideas and refine them into simple, bold concepts - and the willingness to take a stand on technologies, vendors/suppliers, and outcomes.
