Why This Role Stands Out

At IDC, your work helps shape how the world understands technology and where it goes next. You collaborate with curious, high-caliber colleagues who value rigor, integrity, and shared success. As the premier global provider of trusted technology intelligence, IDC equips business and technology leaders with the evidence they need to make confident decisions. Our insights inform strategy, investment, and innovation across industries and regions.

Recognized by IIAR as Analyst Firm of the Year for five consecutive years, IDC sets the standard for credibility and impact. With more than 1,000 analysts worldwide and a truly global perspective, we combine deep expertise with practical relevance. Here, your ideas matter, your voice is heard, and your contributions provide the insights leaders rely on every day.

What We Offer

• Individualized Culture: An environment where you can explore new areas outside your specialty and stay engaged with work you enjoy.
• Hybrid Working: Hybrid working with 3 day(s) in office per week required.
• Time-off and holidays: On top of your statutory holiday allowance and public holidays, IDC grants annually review company–wide closures on 19 August (Unplug Day) and 24 December – 1 January inclusive (Global Shutdown) and a volunteering day.
• A position in a highly professional and globally respected market research and advisory firm, where initiative leading to results is rewarded.
