You’ll contribute to our double-digit growth by providing our clients worldwide the unbiased insight they need to make the right decisions on their key initiatives.

About this role:

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 Specialist to join our research team, within the Content Maintenance Center of Excellence (CoE).

The Specialist will be responsible for (a) investigating, analyzing, and writing on critical issues facing HR leaders (such as CHROs, Talent Management leaders, etc) 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 individual will work on a wide range of written deliverables that require (but not limited to) qualitative research methods – consult relevant subject matter experts, conduct wide-ranging secondary literature searches, and synthesize information to elicit key insights – to provide 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. 

What you’ll 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, and other qualitative and quantitative methods.

• 0-3 years of research and/or management consulting experience

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

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 content and creative 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:

• 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.

• Strong oral and written communication skills, with particular attention to precision of language and ability to organize information logically.

• Proven competence for meeting deadlines, multi-tasking and managing work under ambiguity/uncertainty (e.g., changing factors, limited information)

In addition to an outstanding work environment with rapid advancement potential, Gartner research team enjoys exceptional benefits, including:
