• Support submissions for Gartner MQ/Critical Capabilities, Forrester Wave/Landscapes, IDC MarketScape (RFI/RFPs, evidence collection, customer references, demo coordination).
• Draft briefs, executive talking points, objection-handling, FAQs, and follow-up summaries aligned to product and GTM narratives.
• Maintain coverage maps, contact plans, and touchpoint calendars; coordinate tier-2/independent analyst engagement and councils.
• Monitor research and Gartner Peer Insights trends; synthesize takeaways for Product, PMM, Sales, and Execs.
• Track briefing volume/quality, sentiment, mentions, and evaluation achievements; produce concise monthly/quarterly readouts.
• Coordinate reprints/quotes and approvals; partner with Legal/Brand on usage guidelines.
• Support onsite analyst programs around key conferences (e.g., RSA, re:Invent, KubeCon, Ignite).

What You Bring:

• 2–4+ years in Analyst Relations or adjacent B2B roles (PMM, PR/Comms, Competitive/Market Intel).
• Hands-on experience with MQ/Wave/MarketScape submissions.
• Background in Observability/AIOps and/or Security/SIEM markets.
• Strong written communication (clear, concise, executive-ready) and editorial rigor.
• Proven project management across multiple stakeholders and deadlines.
• Familiarity with Gartner, Forrester, IDC processes and terminology.
• Comfort translating technical topics (observability, security analytics, search/GenAI) into business value.
