About the role
Kea is looking for an Analyst Relations Client Lead / Analyst Engagement Manager (APAC/India) to manage and grow analyst engagement programmes for multiple B2B technology clients. This is a client-facing role for someone who combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution, helps clients define AR priorities, translates business goals into practical programmes, and drives the day-to-day work needed to make those programmes successful.
The role includes client onboarding, analyst targeting, briefing preparation, engagement planning, client communication, analyst calls, follow-up, CRM updates, and programme reporting. It is intended for someone who can think independently, own their work, manage senior stakeholders, and operate effectively in a remote environment.
What you will do
- Support onboarding of new vendor clients and help structure clear AR priorities and strategy.
- Work with clients and Kea colleagues to develop practical analyst engagement plans translating client objectives into actionable AR programs, including analyst targeting, messaging priorities, and engagement planning.
- Prepare analyst profiles, briefing notes, call context, and engagement recommendations.
- Coordinate and join analyst briefings and capture key analyst questions, points of interest, follow-up actions, and next steps.
