About the Role:

CrowdStrike is seeking a passionate and strategic Sr. Competitive Intelligence Analyst II 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, practical insight into real-world customer deployments, and the ability to translate complex analysis into actionable guidance. This is a remote, individual-contributor role with significant visibility and impact.

What You’ll Do:

• Make recommendations on sales tactics and product strategy to enable CrowdStrike to win in the market.

• Be a self-starter with an ownership mentality. You will work autonomously in the development of project plans, requirements, timelines, content, and ongoing tracking/updates of the cloud competitive landscape. 

• Conduct win/loss analysis, using both quantitative and qualitative data source to determine why CrowdStrike wins and loses vs the competition

 

What You’ll Need:

• Proven ability to synthesize complex technical concepts into field actionable guidance and executive summaries.

• 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

 

Bonus Points:
