• You are always learning and looking to discover what’s next in security technology management.

• You pursue personal excellence through team collaboration and consensus.

As a Gartner analyst, you’ll not only help clients solve complex challenges and deliver on key initiatives, but you’ll also grow your career and the scope of your impact across industries. We work hard, and we reward success with exceptional opportunity.

This role creates thought leading Identity and Access Management (IAM) advice, delivered to our BTI clients through published research, conversations (client inquiry), stage presentations, teleconferences, and client meetings.

• Respond to client questions, create materials for clients and deliver in person, via teleconference, video conference or webinar and event presentations.

• Maintain Gartner’s industry leadership reputation by responding to press inquiries.

Specific coverage areas for the IAM Senior Director Analyst include (but are not limited to) planning, development, deployment, operations, products and services, and trends as a primary analyst in one or more of the following coverage areas (with working knowledge of the others):

• Authentication - tools and techniques for verifying a digital identity

• Externalized Authorization Management (EAM) tools, which provide decoupled runtime controls for fine-grained authorization: knowledge of the product market, best practices for requirements definitions and technology selection, and best practices for deployment and governance

• Access Management (AM) - software and cloud-based services that use access control engines to provide centralized authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), session management and authorization enforcement for target applications in multiple use cases.

• Privileged Access Management (PAM) - tools and techniques for managing and monitoring privileged accounts and access.

• Identity Verification - tools and techniques for managing the combination of activities during a digital interaction that brings a real-world identity claim within organizational risk tolerances.

In addition, the analyst should have expertise in or general familiarity with the following topics:

• Best practices for general IAM technology selection, procurement, and implementation and for IAM operations and governance

• IAM program management and governance, including vision and strategic planning; talent management; developing policies; controls and operational process; program maturity assessment.
