In this capacity, the candidate will work closely with product management, product marketing, product development, and sales leaders to effectively communicate Imperva’s unique security value proposition and differentiation to the analyst community.

If you understand security, have a knack for competitive positioning, and want to help expand our leadership, then this position is for you.

You already know how to engage with analysts on all of these topics and how to drive inquiries, briefings, or other types of analyst interactions towards successful outcomes (great coverage and positive relationships!).

  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with industry analysts, as well as internal stakeholders
  • Work closely with product marketing, product management, engineering, and finance to develop a targeted analyst relations strategy that articulates Imperva’s value proposition
  • Execute briefings and inquiries with relevant analysts and company spokespeople to ensure ongoing engagement with Imperva, its market strategies, and products
  • Monitor key analyst activity on social networks, and engage or recommend appropriate SME engagement – opportunistically. Also, monitor for general tone / sentiment on topics of interest
  • Maintain a schedule of relevant upcoming research, and engage with product marketing, product management, and others to position Imperva in the most favorable light within this research
  • Keep current on competitive landscape and developments in our space, and share relevant analyst research with senior management
  • Manage the annual Gartner Magic Quadrant and Forrester Wave evaluation processes to ensure best position
  • Provide strategic counsel to senior management as to how to best engage with key influencers within the analyst community
  • Assist SMEs / spokespeople in preparing content tailored for specific analyst audiences
  • Manage budgets, scope of engagement, and overall vendor relationships — conducting annual contract negotiations, procuring special services, inquiries, or strategy days
  • Support and educate sales on analyst views and AR resources available to them
  • Act as a key leader within the Imperva Marketing team, contributing to marketing programs across PR, customer and content marketing, and demand generation campaigns
  • QUALIFICATIONS :

  • Bachelor’s Degree in marketing, public relations, communications, journalism, or relevant discipline
  • 8-10 years in analyst relations, corporate communications, public relations, media relations, or other relevant experience
  • Knowledge of security technologies and the security market is a huge plus
  • International experience is very desirable
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Solid interpersonal and relationship-building skills
  • Demonstrated ability to work with SMEs to distill complex topics down to key analyst takeaways
  • Exemplary communication skills, both verbal and written
  • Ability to pay attention to detail is critical
