Principal, Analyst Relations

San Francisco, California

Intercom is the AI Customer Service company on a mission to help businesses provide incredible customer experiences. 

Our AI agent Fin, the most advanced customer service AI agent on the market, lets businesses deliver always-on, impeccable customer service and ultimately transform their customer experiences for the better. Fin can also be combined with our Helpdesk to become a complete solution called the Intercom Customer Service Suite, which provides AI enhanced support for the more complex or high touch queries that require a human agent. 

Founded in 2011 and trusted by nearly 30,000 global businesses, Intercom is setting the new standard for customer service. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and consistently deliver incredible value to our customers.

What's the opportunity? 

As Analyst Relations Lead for Fin, our AI Agent, you’ll have the rare opportunity to define how the world’s most influential analysts and advisors understand the AI Agent for customer service category. This is not just about keeping up with the conversation — it’s about leading it.

You’ll be the founding member of our Analyst Relations program and responsible for shaping how Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and others view Fin’s breakthrough AI capabilities. Your role is as much about educating analysts on AI in customer experience as it is about absorbing their perspective. We expect you to bring confidence, fluency, and conviction in explaining how AI agents transform customer experience — not in abstract terms, but with clarity, authority, and evidence.

Success means ensuring Fin is consistently seen as the category-defining leader: the partner of choice for enterprises reimagining customer experience with AI. Your work will directly influence analyst reports, amplify Fin’s role in market narratives, and deliver insights that guide our Enterprise strategy.

This is a career-defining opportunity to shape a new category at the very moment it’s being created.

What will I be doing? 

In this role, you will build and lead Fin’s analyst relations program, ensuring we are recognized as the leader in AI Agents. Key responsibilities include:

  • Educating analysts on AI: Proactively – either directly or with cross-functional partners – explain how Fin is transforming customer experience, using real-world examples, technical depth, and a visionary lens. Position Fin as the standard-bearer for enterprise-grade AI in customer service.
  • Establishing the function: Develop and execute Fin’s analyst relations strategy, with a focus on AI-first conversations and reports that matter most to enterprise buyers.
  • Driving recognition: Lead Fin’s participation in key analyst evaluations (e.g. Gartner Magic Quadrants, Forrester Waves), ensuring our AI strengths and customer impact are clearly and compellingly represented.
  • Building relationships: Cultivate deep, ongoing relationships with top-tier analysts, becoming their trusted source for AI expertise and market perspective.
  • Collaborating cross-functionally: Partner with Executives and leadership across Product, Marketing, Sales, and Solutions to develop compelling submissions, demos, and narratives that highlight Fin’s AI differentiation.
  • Delivering insights: Translate analyst feedback and competitive intelligence into actionable inputs for Fin’s product roadmap and GTM strategy.
  • Measuring impact: Track and report on Fin’s analyst footprint, including report placements, mentions, analyst sentiment, and influence on pipeline.

What skills do I need? 

We’re looking for someone with the following must-have skills and experience:

  • AI fluency: Deep curiosity of AI, machine learning, and their application in customer experience. You will be responsible for educating analysts as much as you listen to them — so intellectual curiosity, technical comfort, and the ability to understand and explain AI concepts with authority are essential.
  • Proven analyst relations experience: 8+ years in AR or related roles (product marketing, communications, strategy), with a track record of success in analyst evaluations and category shaping.
  • Enterprise expertise: Understanding of enterprise software business models, customer experience workflows, and market dynamics.
  • Storytelling & communication: Exceptional ability to craft narratives that blend product capabilities, AI innovation, and customer outcomes. Able to explain technical concepts to senior, non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong relationships: Experience working with and influencing analysts at Gartner, Forrester, IDC, or equivalent firms.
  • Strategic, autonomous leader: Skilled at proactively surfacing value to the business and independently managing complex programs, submissions, and cross-functional collaboration under tight deadlines.

Bonus skills & attributes 

The following additional skills and experience would set you apart:

  • Experience building or scaling a new function from the ground up.
  • Background in AI, conversational AI, or customer experience technology.
  • Hands-on familiarity with AI tools, platforms, or emerging research (able to demo or translate usage into business outcomes).
  • Experience engaging directly with executive leadership or presenting at high-profile industry or analyst events.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
