Director – Analyst - AI Technology Economics

This is an individual contributor role

About the role:

Gartner is building the industry's leading Tech Market Economics capability to understand where AI creates, captures and destroys value across the technology ecosystem, from trillion-dollar infrastructure investments to the economics of technology providers. As a Senior Director Analyst, you will lead the development of a new generation of data-driven Gartner positions, partnering with our Tech Market Economics Modelling, Data Science and Data Engineering teams to uncover insights others cannot and scale their impact across Gartner's global research footprint.

The role demands exceptional judgment and intellectual curiosity. You will draw on emerging signals, novel data sources and pioneering analytical approaches, combining your expertise with the broader models, data assets and methodologies of Tech Market Economics. Success comes from recognizing when disparate signals converge to an insight worthy of Gartner's voice. The most valuable insights rarely emerge from a single dataset, model or methodology. They emerge from synthesizing multiple forms of evidence into judgements that initially appear impossible to make, but become irrefutable once the underlying economics, signals and market dynamics are understood.

This role is for the persistently curious, energized by discovering what others have yet to see, connecting seemingly unrelated signals and transforming emerging insights into market-shaping research. Through research, client engagement, media interactions and keynote

• Shape the evolution of Tech Market Economics by identifying the most important market opportunities and questions to address.
• Bring provocative, independent insights to Gartner leaders that can influence the future direction of research agendas.
• Create innovative, thought provoking, and highly leveraged “must-have insights” content
• Develop new insights and ideas through thought leadership and offer compelling, actionable approaches to client's needs and requests that accelerate the client's ability to act
• Provide clients and prospects with actionable advice through virtual or face-to-face interactions
• Create and deliver high value presentation materials Gartner conferences, Industry events, media engagements, and client briefings
• Support Gartner sales and business development activities through differentiated market insights and executive engagement.
• Provide high quality and timely content peer review
• Build credibility as a recognized authority on Tech Market Economic trends and represent Gartner insights, methodology and strategy.
• Actively participate in innovation, ideation and research discussions and collaborate effectively with peers across Gartner.
• Be a mentor and a coach by supporting more junior team members
• Maintain a client-centric approach focused on delivering actionable insights and measurable client value.

What you will need:

• Demonstrated experience assessing the economic, commercial and competitive implications of Agentic AI disruption across markets, products, business models or value chains.
• Experience synthesizing economic analysis, quantitative evidence, financial statements, market intelligence and business context into differentiated research, thought leadership and strategic recommendations.
• Proven ability to identify emerging economic and market shifts and translate multiple sources of evidence into compelling executive-level narratives, research judgments or business insights.
• Strong judgment in evaluating emerging signals, economic evidence and analytical findings, with the ability to determine the earliest point at which the collective weight of evidence is decision grade.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; Graduate degree preferred
• 10+ years of relevant field or industry experience
• 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
