Overview
About the Role & Team
The Associate Project Coordinator is responsible for managing key processes that enable IDC to deliver complex research reports accurately and on schedule. This role supports two service models: end-to-end execution of IDC MarketScape projects, ensuring smooth coordination across teams and stakeholders, and a project oversight model that provides standardized phase checklists, guidance, and periodic quality reviews, enabling IDC analysts to self-manage day-to-day execution and deliverables.

- Use consistent communication frameworks and channels to maintain clarity, transparency, and timely information flow among stakeholders.
- Manage and maintain project-related tasks, such as creating a project plan, updating trackers, encoding survey questionnaires, and data collection, as well as documentation and communications to support effective project execution.
- Follow a standardized escalation protocol for immediate issue reporting and resolution, minimizing disruption and maintaining project velocity.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, Public Relations, Business Administration, Psychology, Sociology, or a related field

- Dependable and accountable, with a strong sense of ownership
- Has basic research and analytical skills
