• Provide clients and prospects with actionable advice aligned to their designated content area via virtual or face-to-face interactions.
• Create and deliver high-value presentation materials on and off stage for Gartner events, industry and professional association conferences, and client briefings.
• Support BTI and Sales by providing sales support as the voice of the market to help Insights teams create content and drive engagement with clients to make progress against their critical priorities to grow their business.
• Provide high-quality and timely content peer review.
• Build credibility as an industry expert to represent Gartner insights, methodology, and strategy.
• Actively participate in innovation, ideation, and research discussions and collaborate effectively with peers in the Insights community.

• Mentor and coach junior team members.
• Be client-centric while actively seeking to help clients engage regularly and often with Gartner insights and interactions.

Wat je nodig hebt:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; Graduate degree preferred.
• 12+ years’ experience working in a finance function, ideally with 2+ years of recent AI experience.
• Career exposure in strategic finance or special projects with the CFO that cut across finance processes and workflows, data sources, and technologies.
• Provocative and forward-looking perspectives for CFOs, rooted in professional experience, on how AI and emerging technology trends are reshaping finance functions and their future role within enterprises.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate ambiguity into clear narratives, stories, and teachings that would spark CFO action.
• Demonstrate executive presence; can immediately establish credibility with executives and additional stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills; ability to work under tight deadlines and produce high-quality deliverables.
• Demonstrate excellence in research and writing ability.
• Strong written and verbal proficiency, analytical and presentation skills; ability to engage clients and respond effectively to questions.

• Subject matter expertise; comfortable presenting at large and small-scale speaking engagements.
• Strong business and financial acumen.
• Deep knowledge of the global and competitive landscape within subject area as well as the interplay in that market.
