Career Opportunities
Career opportunities in Gartner Consulting comprise the three paths below. These tracks reflect the capabilities and skills required to deliver high-quality service to our clients and provide a common global language for career development. Each includes aspects of the others — what differs is the major focus and principal metrics.
Business Development associates focus on business strategy and growth, as well as the health and management of the consulting practice. Typical responsibilities include client management, account planning, development and sales. These associates expand the consulting business by proactively identifying and developing new clients.
Associates also develop capabilities for managing the business, including business strategies and business planning. Fostering an environment that attracts and retains high-performing associates, and ensuring organizational capability, also fall within this career path.
Client Service associates focus on delivering high-quality solutions that exceed client expectations. Associates prepare to serve as program or engagement managers for major, complex initiatives and/or key clients. They develop capabilities for building strong project teams, managing project performance and overseeing deliverable quality, budgets and risk management. They become responsible for managing relationships with senior-level client management.
