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
