Gartner - Senior Specialist - Research

Are you intellectually curious and motivated by ideas? Do you want to create research products that are widely used by executive leaders worldwide? Gartner is searching for an India-based Senior Specialist to join our global Peer and Practitioner Research team. This opportunity gives researchers an exposure to the full range of leadership-level strategic and management topics. The Senior Specialist will be responsible for investigating, analyzing and writing on critical issues facing senior Technology & Service Provider (T&SP) executives in leading global corporations. This individual will work on a wide range of written deliverables that require (but not limited to) qualitative research methods - interview CXOs at leading global corporations, conduct wide-ranging secondary literature searches, and synthesize information to elicit key insights - to help organizations transform the way they operate. The Senior Specialist must be intellectually curious and have the desire to quickly develop "generalist" knowledge. The role is a key feeder to careers reaching the highest levels of the firm.

About this role:-

What you will do:-

- Learn and execute Gartner's proven methodology for conducting world-class research that helps identify best practice solutions to many of today's biggest business challenges.

- Analyze and solve business problems using root cause analysis, hypothesis generation, survey design, benchmarking, and other qualitative and quantitative methods.

- Conduct research by speaking with senior T&SP executives, academics, industry experts, etc. and conducting wide-ranging secondary literature searches

- Independently create and/or manage key research deliverables, including but not limited to: large research studies, white papers, case studies, presentations and webinars, guidebooks, templates, how-to guides, or custom research requests.

- Be a key member of the research team and contribute to the entire project life-cycle - from conception to completion and presentation.

- We are looking for creative, analytically strong, articulate and self-motivated individuals who would like to develop a strong knowledge of the terrain along with building consultative problem-solving skills. Unlike management consulting, investment banking, or law, our strategic research positions do not depend on a special appetite or aptitude for sales or business development. Our search for talent is centered, without exception, on the ability to run deep on a logical, philosophical, or economic problem and resurface with rigorous original insight. Some of the shared characteristics of our successful hires include:

What you will need:

- Master's (Sociology, History, Philosophy, Literature, MBA etc.) or PhD degrees

- 3-5 years of research and/or management consulting experience

- Demonstrated ability to teach and relay ideas, engage clients and work in global teams

- Strong appetite to dive deep into a given content terrain to develop expertise and distill key findings.

- Ability to gather, analyze, restructure, identify and create original insights from qualitative and/or quantitative data.
