Government Finance Expert

We’re looking for a US Government Finance Technology and Process Expert with experience helping CFOs and senior Finance leaders deliver on technology and process transformation projects within US government finance offices. The successful candidate will possess both subject matter expertise and a passion for modernizing finance systems and improving finance processes.

About this role

Analysts create must-have insights for our clients through published research and client interaction. You will meet with clients every day: in a videoconference or from the stage at a Gartner event. In every client interaction, and every insight you produce, you will help clients solve difficult puzzles that lead to better performance.

What you’ll do

• Advise CFOs and their leadership teams on government finance systems and process modernization through written research and client interactions.
• Deliver high quality actionable advice through face-to-face and video-based presentations and discussions with clients in a one-on-one or group setting.
• Remain ahead of the curve on US government finance office trends and needs in order to produce thought leadership research for Gartner clients.

What you’ll need

• 10+ years of experience working in finance roles in the US Government (ideally multiple agencies) at a federal, state or local level. Experience in government consulting or government contracting also applicable.
• Demonstrated experience with upgrading finance systems and improving finance processes.
• Passion for modernizing government finance offices through transformation projects. 
• Strong business acumen
• Bachelor's or equivalent experience, Master's degree preferred
• Ability to conduct occasional travel, regionally and globally

Who you are

• To thrive in this role, it helps if you are obsessed with your topic! Gartner analysts are correctly viewed as THE experts. This means you need to know your markets, vendors, trends, management practices, etc. and be able to see the forest and the trees.
• Excellent collaborator with the ability to quickly build rapport and gain client trust
• Confident presenter and writer with a high level of executive presence (prior experience with speaking engagements, writing or research is a plus)
• Analytical thinker with the ability to process information quickly and make actionable recommendations
• Willing to challenge conventional norms and views
