**About the Role:**

**Grade Level (for internal use):** 11 The Team : Join our Workforce Productivity and Collaboration research practice as a Senior Analyst and become a key player in generating market-leading insights around human resources, employee experience and workforce productivity technologies. Your specific insights will focus on core HCM, performance management, talent acquisition, people analytics, employee experience and skilling and learning technologies. This research practice is part of a larger body of expert industry analyst teams (‘451 Research’) that has been leading the market for over twenty years with forward-looking and data-driven analysis of the technology landscape. Together, we cover the full spectrum of enterprise technologies and employ various research techniques including expert market insights, end-user surveys, forecast modeling, revenue tracking, in-depth interviews, mergers and acquisition tracking, and face-to-face analyst briefings. Responsibilities and Impact : At S&P Global Market Intelligence we focus on powering the markets of the future. Throughout our history, the world's leading organizations have relied on us for the essential intelligence they need to make confident decisions about the road ahead. Our customers use our data and insights to develop business cases, create strategic plans, identify potential customers, partners, and acquisition targets, and execute on other key initiatives. This Senior Analyst role will influence a range of stakeholders across the technology ecosystem, including technology and service providers, the investment community, and deploying enterprises grappling with HR technologies. Work is undergoing major and rapid transformation, with demands from organizational leaders for more operational agility, from department leaders for more strategic clarity and stronger planning processes, and from employees for improved opportunities and more engaging digital experiences. Resolution is requiring more than piecemeal change - organizations are adjusting their company and operational cultures, improving planning and portfolio management processes, developing more nuanced understandings of effective collaboration, and becoming savvier around the connection between workforce productivity and engagement. Organizations need more intentional technology strategies to address important outcomes that increasingly sit at the intersection of these different forces. Navigating this shift will require significant change management efforts, and technology will be integral to how businesses redefine the value they create for their employees and customers.
