• Drive Quota Achievement: Meet or exceed sales targets by identifying prospects, building relationships and positioning IDC’s total product portfolio.
• Lead end-to-end sales processes, with a blend of acquiring new logo clients, re-igniting dormant accounts, and continuing to win with Enterprise accounts.
• Manage existing accounts and ensure renewal or continuous business growth
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Marketing and Product Development, to drive sales efforts.
• Maintain an accurate forecast of your business on a monthly and quarterly basis.
• Own your pipeline: identify, qualify, and convert high-value prospects across the geographical region in multiple markets to support the revenue quota achievement
• Monitor industry trends and competitor activities to adapt strategies and maintain market relevance.
• Identify and lead campaigns that will increase pipeline and grow your business.

What You Bring

• Excellent interpersonal skills to work across IDC local business units worldwide and within IDC Asia Pacific

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. It is meaningful work, backed by a culture that supports growth, collaboration, and long-term career development with a globally respected brand.

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/month required.
• Time-off and holidays: On top of your statutory holiday allowance and public holidays, IDC grants annually reviewed 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.

Equal Opportunity Employer

IDC is committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all qualified persons. Employment eligibility verification required. We participate in E-Verify.
