Gartner Business Development Executive

Our Business Development teams play a critical role in expanding Gartner's presence across the global market. Gartner Business Development Executives strategically acquire new clients by cultivating trust-based relationships with C-level executives to understand their mission critical priorities, then uncovering opportunities to deliver client-value through the lens of the industry in which they operate. Gartner Business Developers own and drive the full sales cycle, from identifying prospects to closure. They then transition new clients to the account management team for ongoing value delivery.

Our Business Development teams are relentless about building trust-based, value-add relationships with clients, delivering long-term client value, and building their book of business over time. Business developers are results driven, client committed, and highly collaborative.

Business Developers will be given a territory of Large Enterprise prospects, which may be completely new prospects with no existing spend or could be clients within other Gartner areas. In our End-User Large Enterprise segment, Business Developers work with prospects with +$1bil in annual revenue. In our Technology Vendor Large Enterprise segment, Business Developers work with prospects with +$500mil in annual revenue.
