Forcepoint is redefining data security for an AI-powered world unifying DLP, DSPM, risk analytics, and AI governance under one Data Security Everywhere platform. As industry boundaries blur and competitors reposition, market analysts have unprecedented influence over how enterprise buyers and investors define this new category.

As our Senior Analyst Relations Manager, you'll lead the global strategy for engaging key analyst firms; Gartner, Forrester, IDC, KuppingerCole, ESG, and others to shape, amplify, and validate Forcepoint's story as the leader in Data Security and DSPM.

You'll serve as both an external evangelist and internal advisor for orchestrating analyst engagement programs, briefing strategies, market perception studies, and cross-functional insight loops that tie directly to our GTM and product roadmap.

• Drive consistent, high-impact engagement through briefings, inquiries, events, and advisory sessions.

• Ensure Forcepoint's innovations (AI Mesh, Data Security Cloud, structured-data classification, insider risk analytics) are well understood and reflected in market research and Magic Quadrants/Waves.

Narrative & Messaging Alignment

• Partner with Product Marketing and Corporate Communications to evolve Forcepoint's Data Security Everywhere story into analyst-ready positioning that's clear, defensible, and differentiated.

• Anticipate analyst feedback and competitor narratives to proactively refine our messaging and content.

• Own analyst talking points, briefing materials, and thought-leadership themes across AI, risk analytics, and unified data protection.

Market Intelligence & Executive Insight

• Deliver actionable insight back to executive leadership, product, and GTM teams — translating analyst perspectives into roadmap, pricing, and positioning recommendations.

• Create and maintain a structured intelligence rhythm (monthly reports, win/loss perception summaries, competitive landscape shifts).

• Partner with Sales Enablement to cascade analyst insight to field teams to enhance credibility in enterprise deals.

Programs & Measurement

• Develop a global AR plan that supports launches, key reports (MQ/Wave inclusion, IDC MarketScape), and Forcepoint Aware.

• Manage analyst-related KPIs such as sentiment, tier-1 firm coverage, and quote inclusion in research or media.

• Coordinate cross-functional participation in analyst events and advisory councils.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of Analyst Relations, Strategic Communications, or Product Marketing experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, or data protection.

• Proven success managing analyst programs across Gartner, Forrester, IDC, or similar firms including leadership in MQ/Wave submissions and briefings.

• Deep understanding of data security, DLP, DSPM, and AI-driven security markets.

• Exceptional storytelling, executive presence, and ability to translate complex product strategy into compelling market narratives.
