Taxonomy Content Specialist
Overview
About the Role & Team
The Junior Taxonomy & Research Analyst supports the ongoing development, governance, and operational integrity of IDC’s enterprise taxonomy framework. This role plays a critical part in ensuring data consistency, market alignment, and structural scalability across IDC products, platforms, and research deliverables.
Key responsibilities include maintaining and enhancing taxonomy structures, assisting with the tagging, categorization, and mapping of enterprise data in accordance with established governance standards, and reviewing annually published taxonomy documents to ensure alignment with current market dynamics. The junior analyst will also verify consistent taxonomy usage across reports and research outputs.
In support of data transformation initiatives, this role conducts market and internal research to identify gaps in current data structures and recommend enhancements. As new data tools and technologies emerge, particularly those associated with Trevi and Nova, the junior analyst will support classification review and validation prior to product development.

What You Bring
Education: Bachelor’s degree in information management, Library Science, Data Science, or a related field.
Experience: 0–2 years of experience in data entry, content management, or research.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in Excel; familiarity with taxonomy management software or CMS tools is a plus.
