How analysts see us shapes how buyers shortlist us and how the market values what we're building. This role owns that story. The Global Director of Analyst Relations is the primary architect of how Concentrix is perceived, positioned, and evaluated across the analyst community. You will manage a portfolio of strategic relationships with the world's most influential research firms. From Gartner, Forrester, and IDC to the services-focused specialists: Everest Group, NelsonHall, ISG, and HFS Research. You'll lead every formal evaluation cycle, from RFI submission to briefing and rebuttal. And you'll build the kind of ongoing analyst relationships that move the needle long before a report is written. As part of the hiring process, candidates may be required to undergo background screening and identity verification, where permitted by applicable law and consistent with the requirements of the role. Certain verification processes used by the Company or its service providers may involve technologies that rely on biometric identifiers or biometric information, where permitted by law. If biometric identifiers or biometric information are collected, used, or stored, the Company will provide the legally required disclosures and obtain any required written consent prior to such collection, and will handle such information in accordance with applicable biometric privacy laws and Company policies. This is a high-profile role with significant executive visibility. You will lead a small team and work closely with the CMO, product and practice leaders, and senior business stakeholders to align AR strategy with commercial priorities.

Requirements

10+ years in analyst relations within a global B2B technology, services, or CX business, or in a client-facing advisory role at an analyst firm.
