The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience with the strategic and operational aspects of a finance transformation including supporting the implementation of new organizational design models across finance sub functions.
About this role
Analysts create must-have insights for our clients through published research and client interaction. You will meet with clients every day: in a videoconference or from the stage at a Gartner event.

What you’ll do

• Advise CFOs and their leadership teams on finance transformation management and organizational redesign best practices through your research and thought leadership
• Deliver high quality actionable advice through face-to-face and video-based presentations and discussions with clients (1:1 and 1:many)
• Remain ahead of the curve on developments and issues within specified areas of expertise as well as applicable adjacent areas

What you’ll need

• 8+ years of experience in finance, ideally within a finance transformation team or controlling/accounting or FP&A.
• Demonstrated experience with the strategic and operational aspects of a finance transformation and associated change projects
• Subject matter expertise in finance organization and talent needs for the future of finance
• Strong business acumen
• Bachelor’s or equivalent experience, Master’s degree preferred
• Ability to conduct occasional travel, regionally and globally

Who you are

• To thrive in this role, it helps if you are obsessed with your topic! Gartner analysts are correctly viewed as THE experts. This means you need to know your markets, vendors, trends, management practices, etc. and be able to see the forest and the trees.
• Excellent collaborator with the ability to quickly build rapport and gain client trust
• Confident presenter with a high level of executive presence (prior experience with speaking engagements is a plus)
• Analytical thinker with the ability to process information quickly and make actionable recommendations
• Willing to challenge conventional norms and views
