Description
Overview
AvePoint is seeking a strategic and results-oriented Senior Director of Analyst Relations to lead and evolve our global analyst relations program. This role will define and execute a multi-year strategy that strengths AvePoint's position with leading industry analysts, advances our presence in flagship research such as Gartner Magic Quadrants, Forrester Waves, and Omdia-Canalys Leadership Matrices, and translates analyst insights into meaningful business impact. Working closely with executive leadership, Product, Marketing, Sales, and Communications, the Senior Director will build trusted analyst relationships, shape market perception, influence category positioning, and ensure analyst validation is leveraged across go-to-market initiatives to support brand growth, customer confidence, and revenue outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
Analyst Strategy & Program Leadership
- Define and execute AvePoint's multi-year analyst relations strategy and roadmap, prioritizing engagements based on category importance, revenue impact, and competitive positioning
- Build and manage a structured AR program architecture — including tiered analyst segmentation, engagement cadences, briefing frameworks, and annual planning cycles aligned to product launches, earnings, and GTM priorities
- Set clear AR goals and KPIs that connect analyst engagement to business outcomes: category positioning improvement, research inclusion, analyst sentiment shifts, and GTM activation metrics
- Partner with the VP, Content & Communications on AR's role in the broader Content & Communications strategy, ensuring AR intelligence informs content narrative, PR messaging, and brand positioning
- Manage the AR budget including analyst firm subscriptions, advisory services, event sponsorships, and research investments
Marquee Research Advancement
- Lead AvePoint's strategy and execution for marquee analyst evaluations — Gartner Magic Quadrants, Forrester Waves, IDC MarketScapes, and equivalent — across priority categories including data protection, data resilience, data governance, and AI-driven platforms
- Personally own high-stakes evaluation submissions, coordinating cross-functional teams on positioning strategy, customer references, product demonstrations, and analyst Q&A preparation
- Develop long-cycle advancement plans for each priority evaluation, identifying the specific capability gaps, messaging shifts, and analyst relationship investments needed to improve AvePoint's position over 2–3 year evaluation cycles
- Coordinate with Product Management and Product Marketing to ensure analyst feedback is translated into roadmap priorities and competitive positioning adjustments
- Ensure evaluation submissions reflect AvePoint's evolving platform narrative — particularly the shift from point product to unified Confidence Platform positioning
Analyst Relationship Building & Advocacy
- Build durable, trust-based relationships with top-tier analysts at Gartner, Forrester, IDC, Canalys, Omdia, and influential boutique firms — becoming the analyst community's primary point of contact at AvePoint
- Develop analyst champions who reference AvePoint proactively in research, inquiry responses, conference presentations, and client advisory sessions
- Execute a structured engagement cadence including regular briefings, strategy days, advisory sessions, inquiry calls, and informal relationship-building touchpoints
- Host and coordinate analyst events, advisory days, and executive roundtables that deepen analyst understanding of AvePoint's strategy, roadmap, and market traction
- Ensure AvePoint's executive team is prepared and confident for analyst interactions through structured briefing prep, talking point development, and post-engagement follow-up
Measurement, Impact & GTM Enablement
- Track and report AR KPIs including: research mentions and positioning, inquiry volume and sentiment, analyst champion development, evaluation advancement, and GTM activation metrics
- Produce executive-ready AR reporting that connects analyst engagement to business outcomes — not activity volume
- Activate analyst validation across demand generation, sales enablement, content, and PR — including reprints, gated assets, quote integration, and campaign amplification
- Partner with Sales Enablement to ensure analyst insights and research are integrated into sales motions, competitive battle cards, and customer-facing materials
