Analyst Relations Manager

Tanium is seeking a detail-oriented, proactive Manager on the Analyst Relations team to own project management for our AR program and lead coordination of evaluation participation. This role will focus on planning, executing, and tracking analyst briefings, RFI / RFP submissions, Magic Quadrant and Wave participation, and other evaluation activities to ensure timely, high-quality deliverables that strengthen Tanium's market presence in Autonomous IT.

Reporting to the VP of Analyst Relations, the Manager will work closely with product marketing, communications, sales, legal, and executive stakeholders to manage timelines, evidence collection, submission quality, and post-evaluation follow-up. The role requires strong program management skills, a process-driven approach to scaling AR operations, and the ability to translate analyst requirements into clear internal action plans that minimize risk and maximize Tanium's positioning.

• Own day-to-day project management for the AR program, translating AR strategy into executable plans, detailed timelines, and deliverables that ensure on-time, high-quality analyst engagement and evaluation submissions.
• Lead end-to-end coordination of analyst evaluations and RFIs (e.g., Gartner Magic Quadrant, Forrester Wave), including timeline management, evidence collection, submission assembly, review cycles, and post-submission follow-up.
• Schedule, prepare, and manage analyst briefings, inquiry responses, advisory sessions, and document reviews; ensure stakeholders have the materials and prep needed for consistent, on-message engagements.
• Act as the central project manager between product marketing, communications, sales, customer success, legal, and executive stakeholders to secure inputs, approvals, and SME participation on required timelines.
• Create briefing decks, submission templates, evidence trackers, and spokesperson prep materials; coordinate dry runs and capture feedback to improve executive and SME readiness.
• Define and maintain operational KPIs and dashboards for AR activities (submission status, briefing cadence, evidence completeness, deadlines); produce regular status reports for AR leadership and cross-functional partners.
• Manage and optimize AR tools, platforms, and trackers to automate workflows, centralize evidence, log analyst interactions, and scale program operations.
• Enforce submission quality standards and version control; coordinate legal and compliance reviews where required and maintain audit-ready documentation for evaluations.
• Manage relationships with external vendors, agencies, and research partners for data collection, writing support, and platform services; negotiate scopes, timelines, and deliverables.
• Capture analyst feedback and evaluation outcomes; summarize implications and action items for product, GTM, and executive teams to inform positioning and roadmap priorities.
• Iterate on AR project processes, templates, and playbooks; run post-mortems after major evaluations to identify efficiencies and reduce cycle time for future submissions.

We're looking for someone with :

• Bachelor's degree required

• 5+ years in B2B technology, ideally within cybersecurity, IT operations, or enterprise software.
• Proven track record managing complex, cross-functional programs end-to-end; expert at building timelines, tracking dependencies, running review cycles, and delivering high-quality submissions on schedule.
• Practical experience with analyst ranking and evaluation processes (e.g., Gartner Magic Quadrant, Forrester Wave); comfortable translating evaluation criteria into evidence requirements and submission artifacts.
• Strong process orientation with experience creating templates, evidence trackers, submission playbooks, and post-mortem workflows to reduce cycle time and improve submission quality.
• Demonstrated ability to drive alignment across product marketing, communications, sales, legal, and executive teams to secure inputs, approvals, and SME participation against tight deadlines.
• Hands-on experience with AR tracking tools, CRM / platform integrations, or project management systems to log interactions, automate reminders, and surface status dashboards.
