[Hiring] Principal, Analyst Relations Lead @Ashby

Role Description

As we continue to grow and solidify our position upmarket, I’m looking for someone to lead Analyst Relations globally. You’ll have fantastic partners in PMM, as well as buy in from our Executive Leadership Team to make sure we’re delivering and refining our product narrative to the right firms, at the right time. This isn’t a traditional AR role. The right person for this role will feel at ease becoming a product expert in addition to building strong relationships that convert to qualified pipeline, and have a sharp instinct for when to engage and when an opportunity isn’t for us.

What you’ll be responsible for in this role:

• Develop Strategic AR Programs: execute high-impact AR programs tailored to increase brand awareness and buyer preference.
• Cultivate Influencer Advocacy: partner with key analysts to ensure they understand Ashby's direction and product roadmap, securing leadership in research reports.
• Internal Strategic Integration: collaborate with Subject Matter Experts to integrate analyst insights into our product strategy, narratives, and marketing materials.
• Lead Analyst Engagements: manage the end-to-end process for briefings, inquiries, and major analyst firm events.
• Represent Ashby and lead analyst strategy at events: you’ll lead our briefing strategy at key industry conferences, partnering closely with PMM to develop our narrative cadence. You’ll also lead and evolve our analyst strategy at our flagship conference, Ashby One.

Qualifications

• You enjoy analyzing trends in the HR Tech space.
• You love building relationships and attending events – whether industry or ones you create.
• Influencing outcomes is a top talent.
• You value critical thinking and putting pen to paper to form your thoughts.
• You’re obsessed with the details.

Requirements

• You prefer doing the briefings, but don’t love writing the briefing docs.
• You lean heavily on existing playbooks and tactics rather than stepping back and thinking from first principles.
• You don’t do well with autonomy.
• You aren’t discerning.
• You don’t enjoy traveling.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity.
• 10-year stock option exercise window. No pressure to buy your options until it financially makes sense for you.
• Unlimited PTO with a strong culture of actually taking time off.
• 12 weeks of fully paid family leave (US).
• Generous budget for equipment, software, and office setup.
• $100/month learning budget, with conferences covered with manager approval.
• Top-tier health insurance for US employees (100% premium covered).
