About the Role:

CrowdStrike is seeking a passionate and strategic Sr. Competitive Intelligence Analyst to support our cloud security portfolio, including CWPP, CDR, CSPM, CIEM, ASPM, and more. In this role, you will partner directly with Product, Sales, and cross-functional leaders to inform roadmap decisions, guide go-to-market strategy, and help CrowdStrike win in a rapidly evolving competitive landscape.

You will develop a deep, nuanced understanding of competitors’ technical capabilities, market positioning, and tactics, as well as the real reasons CrowdStrike wins or loses in the field. This work will scale globally and require tight partnership with senior leaders across Product, Sales, Marketing, Corporate Strategy, Investor Relations, and other teams.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical proficiency in cloud cybersecurity and architecture (AWS, GCP, Azure), practical insight into real-world customer deployments, and the ability to translate complex analysis into actionable guidance.

• Superior communication skills including experience presenting to senior & executive level management.

• Excellent people and project management skills to manage projects and interact/build rapport with staff, colleagues, cross-functional teams and third parties

• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
