Job Description:

Analysts are at the core of what Forrester is and does; they are the rock stars of our business, consulting and assisting senior leaders in large organizations by writing innovative research and delivering advice through written reports, consulting, client inquiries, and speeches. As a part of Forrester’s marketing and strategy research team in Australia, the Senior Analyst serves Interactive Marketing Professionals and eBusiness Professionals who are responsible for developing and executing the digital marketing and digital commerce strategies for his or her brand or company across customer touchpoints. To fill this high-profile and high-visibility role, we are specifically looking for a candidate with an interactive marketing and/or eCommerce background who has experience with large B2C brands in Australia/New Zealand (ANZ).
The successful candidate is a compelling and clear writer and presenter and has successfully developed strong professional relationships with senior-level digital marketing and digital commerce professionals across industries. He/she will be able to advise senior leaders on the trends in regional consumer behavior related to marketing and commerce, the strategy and execution of digital marketing and digital commerce to capture the opportunity in ANZ, and the marketing technology and platforms required to support their efforts. Successful candidates will have a strong understanding of the marketing and technology issues facing senior digital marketing and digital commerce professionals in ANZ today and an appetite for conducting and writing research to stay abreast of these issues.

Responsibilities:

The Senior Analyst works as part of a small high-performance team and collaborates with others in all aspects of the job. They are expected to:
• Develop a deep understanding of what Forrester’s clients working in ANZ require to be successful as Interactive Marketing and eBusiness Professionals.
• Conduct research on key topics that are top of mind for senior Interactive Marketing and eBusiness Professionals, including strategy formulation, organization, digital marketing campaign planning and management, digital commerce touchpoint strategy and execution, vendor management, and data analysis.
• Conduct research and demonstrate mastery of the evolving interactive marketing and eBusiness strategies and channels. 
• Help define the future of the interactive marketing and eBusiness landscapes in ANZ and the region by painting an accurate, forward-looking view and predicting the effect of emerging trends, technologies, and strategies. A specific knowledge of the unique social and Internet platforms in ANZ is a must.
• Write four long research documents per year that convey new ideas in a rich business context. These reports typically include: 1) introducing new thinking about successful marketing, commerce, and technology strategies and best and next practices; 2) presenting strategic marketing, eBusiness, and technology implementation plans; 3) comparing new marketing/commerce technologies or services and their potential to help clients solve their business challenges; and/or 4) sizing emerging business opportunities (e.g., market sizing/forecast).
• Write eight short research documents per year on interactive marketing and eBusiness technologies, industry events, and/or competitive market dynamics.
• Consult with clients to apply Forrester’s research in the context of their specific business environment, and help solve their problems through inquiry and advisory.
• Present at Forrester-sponsored and industry-related events, and deliver client webinars.
• Establish an industry presence as an influential speaker and thinker. Build relationships with senior marketing and commerce professionals, as well as with the technology vendors that serve them and the journalists who cover the sector. Participate in vendor briefings, and field press inquiries as necessary.
• Embrace social tools as part of the core job.

Requirements:

Forrester hires people who are inspired and inspiring. Our people are our product and the source of our intellectual capital, so we welcome and reward intelligence, curiosity, and unconventional thinking. The right candidate has:
• Established work experience in interactive marketing and eCommerce in ANZ or the region; candidates typically have formulated digital marketing or digital commerce strategy and implemented programs — personal participation in social platforms is a plus, but not required.

• Deep intellectual curiosity about the effect of technology on the marketing and commerce landscape in ANZ and the region and how senior executives can integrate technologies across channels and programs; solid business instincts and a practical understanding of what makes companies tick and how Interactive Marketing and eBusiness Professionals operate; and a creative view of markets, technologies, and attitudes combined with a fascination with the future.
• Superior listening, critical thinking, and writing skills, as well as memorable presentation skills. Analysts are expected to take complex, disparate ideas and distil them into simple, provocative concepts — and be willing to take a stand on vendors and outcomes.
• Fluency in English; other languages are a plus.
• The ability to travel 25% to 40% of the time.
