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.

You will need to collaborate closely with IDC analysts, clients, sales, product, and business operations teams, to ensure alignment and successful project delivery.
Monitor and enforce standardized practices across the entire project portfolio, ensuring accountability and process adherence. You will also deploy standardized templates and guidance documents for analysts to aid in content development and drive consistent outcomes throughout the project.
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.
