• Remain ahead of the curve on developments and issues within specified areas of expertise as well as applicable adjacent areas

What you’ll need

• 10+ years of experience working in finance roles in the US federal (ideally multiple agencies) and state or local government.
• 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 with a high level of executive presence (prior experience with speaking engagements is a plus)
• Analytical thinker with the ability to process information quickly and make actionable recommendations
• Willing to challenge conventional norms and views
