As a Managing Partner in Gartner Consulting Sweden , you will advise the country’s most influential Defence organisations on the decisions that will define their next decade.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As a Managing Partner , you operate at the intersection of strategy, technology, and executive leadership . You are a trusted advisor to CIOs, CEOs, and senior government leaders—helping them navigate disruption, make high‑stakes decisions, and turn technology into a driver of growth, resilience, and transformation.
You will own and expand a portfolio of Gartner’s most important clients, bringing the full force of Gartner’s unmatched insights, benchmarking, and global expertise to their most mission‑critical challenges.

Modernising deeply entrenched legacy environments without disrupting operations
