What Youll Need

Gartner analysts are 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. Most Gartner analysts have many years of experience and enjoy solving puzzles. Gartner analysts assist clients across all aspects of the IAM lifecycle, including (but not limited to) planning, development, deployment, operations, products and services, as well as trends.

The following general skills and experience are required:

• Demonstrated analytical skills, including the ability to apply conceptual models, and to recognize patterns while drawing and defending conclusions.
• Articulate and succinct communication skills. Experience in speaking engagements is an advantage.
• 12 years + experience in a research or technology related role.
• Bachelors or equivalent experience
• 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.
• While advanced authentication solutions (e.g., Cisco Duo, Microsoft Entra and Okta) and IAM for cloud service providers (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure) are preferred coverage areas, topics may be one or more of the following (with working knowledge of the others):
• IGA tools - knowledge of the product market, best practices for requirements definitions and technology selection, and best practices for deployment and governance.

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.
