About the role: - Gartner's comprehensive comparative analytics and expert negotiation guidance help clients achieve the best possible terms while sustaining productive vendor relationships. Our independent, objective assessments of contract/proposal terms help clients mitigate risk by understanding long-term and strategic commitments. - As a Senior Proposal Review Associate in the BuySmart India COE, you will be responsible for leveraging technology to analyze contracts and collaborate with internal subject matter experts (Gartner Analysts) to help clients identify critical variances in their contracts. This role provides an opportunity to learn the intricacies of different vendor contracts and how clients can optimize costs and overcome challenges associated with complex, high-value IT contracts/proposals. What you will do: - Liaise with internal associates and subject matter experts (Gartner Analysts) in relation to clients' proposal review inquiries. - Develop a deep understanding of contract and commercial terms (including their potential risks and benefits). - Extract relevant commercial terms and pricing data from clients' contracts into individual client-specific forms. - Analyze contract variations to uncover standard/non-standard terms that clients should negotiate. - Manage the creation of contract benchmarks (e.g., pricing) within Gartner systems based on vendor categories. - Perform quality assurance testing of completed work. - Ensure that all SLAs are met and are fully supported across all varied requests. - Support periodic reporting and analysis on key performance and benchmarking metrics. What you will need: We are looking for creative, articulate, and self-motivated individuals who would like to work in a process-driven, team-based environment. Our search for talent is centered, without exception, on the ability to be organized, pay strong attention to detail, and work autonomously (i.e., high degree of self-reliance/self-starter). Some of the shared characteristics of our successful hires include: - 1.5 - 3 years of experience - Strong understanding of standard contract structure and clauses. - Strong understanding of pricing models for IT/SaaS contracts. - Prior experience in validating vendor invoices, contract negotiations, and/or commercial reviews is preferred. - Prior experience in information technology will be considered a plus. - Adaptability to a fast-paced environment and changing business requirements while effectively prioritizing based on the value of the business to Gartner. - Ability to effectively process high volume and variety of incoming requests by multi-tasking. - Experience handling multiple priority activities/projects at once within the allotted SLA. - Excellent English verbal and written communication skills, incorporating requirements, action plans, and timelines when communicating with internal subject matter experts. - Strong interpersonal, relationship-building, and time-management skills.
