Gartner is searching for an India-based Senior Principal to join our research team within the Content Maintenance Center of Excellence (CoE)
This CoE provides an opportunity to dedicatedly support Gartner s research practices with an exposure to the full range of leadership-level strategic and management topics
The Senior Principal will be responsible for (a) managing a team of researchers who are investigating, analyzing and writing on critical issues facing senior executives (such as General Cousels, Chief Legal and Compiance Officers, Chief Sales officers) in leading global organizations and (b) innovating and scaling content delivery models to accelerate content creation, helping our clients navigate their most pressing concerns of the day
This involves working with a team on a wide range of written deliverables and producing research providing strategic and actionable advice for top executives, while breaking down complex topics into an easily digestible and consumable format
Being part of this team will provide you with opportunities to support discussions among various industry leaders, identify and design tools and frameworks to support clients in critical processes, and help organizations transform the way they operate
The Senior Principal 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

What you will do:

Learn and execute Gartners proven methodology for conducting world-class research that helps identify best practice solutions to many of todays biggest business challenges.
Lead a research team to interpret, collect, analyze, and structure information from top executives that are actionable, applicable (not academic), and aligned with their workflows.
Manage timely delivery of a regular calendar of research deliverables including whitepapers, presentations, client-shared materials, case studies and best practice documents.
Ensure the quality of deliverables by undertaking regular checks of the researchers work by reviewing documents, listening into/shadowing discussions with stakeholders and SMEs.

Who you are:

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.

Some of the shared characteristics of our successful hires include:

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.

Aspiration to constantly learn and improve.

Preferred experience:
