Data Analyst - 2026/2027 graduates

Application Deadline: October 9th, 2026

The Insights and Product Analytics (IPA) organization is responsible for analyzing the business performance of all products within Gartner’s Business and Technology Insights (BTI) business unit. This includes analyzing key client value drivers, including research content, client interactions, conferences, and events.

IPA also supports the BTI and Gartner Product Management (GPM) organizations by delivering analytically derived business insights across areas including client retention, associate performance, budget and financial analysis (in partnership with the finance organization), and client demand sensing.

We enable data-driven decision making by providing data, insights, and analytic tools to continuously improve our business—both operationally and strategically.

We are seeking an Associate Data Analyst with a passion for analytical problem solving to join our growing team. This individual will support a wide range of projects related to content, client interaction, events, role and platform analytics, demand sensing, staffing models, cost reporting, automation, associate performance analytics, standard reporting, and ad-hoc analytics. In this role, you will work closely with IPA leadership to structure problems, identify data sources, perform analysis, and communicate findings. Strong performers will have the opportunity to independently own project workstreams and interact with stakeholders. Projects will include a mix of collaborative, team-based work and independent ownership, often involving automation and cross-functional collaboration with the Information Technology team.
