Role Mission

Our customers are primarily the largest enterprise companies in the world. Before they buy, they will consult with market research vendors like Gartner, IDC, and Forrester to learn about Devin. You'll own how Cognition shows up in analyst research: what analysts hear from us, how well they understand Devin, and what they ultimately write and say to buyers.

You will build Cognition's analyst relations program from the ground up: owning our submissions, shaping the strategic company narrative, lining up stakeholders, and making sure the analysts understand Devin.

What You'll Own

Analyst Program & Briefing Cadence

• Own the relationships with Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and the boutique firms that matter for AI coding agents and software engineering.

• Build the annual calendar of briefings, inquiries, and prep the team to make the most of each one and communicate a strategic narrative.

Evaluations & Reports

• Run end-to-end submissions for major evaluations: the strategy/story, questionnaire, demo, and follow-ups. Coordinate across product, engineering, and marketing.

• Own the customer reference pipeline for evaluations. Recruit, prep, and systematize reference customers.

Analyst Insight to the Business

• Make sure we are making the most of subscriptions to bring what analysts are saying back into the company

• Get analyst validation into the hands of Sales and Marketing
