VP, Artificial Intelligence - Products & Services

Overview: About the Role & Team

IDC is seeking a transformative AI leader to define and execute our enterprise-wide AI strategy—embedding cutting-edge artificial intelligence across both internal operations and customer-facing products. This is a rare opportunity to shape how a global data and intelligence company harnesses AI, from agentic workflows and large language models to predictive analytics and AI-native product experiences. Reporting directly to the CTO, the VP of AI will lead a high-performing technical team, partner across business units, and drive measurable business impact through intelligent, responsible, and scalable AI solutions. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in modern AI—including generative AI, LLMs, and agentic systems—with the strategic acumen to align AI investments to revenue growth and competitive differentiation.

IDC sits at the intersection of proprietary data, expert human insight, and global technology reach—an ideal foundation for AI transformation. Key opportunity areas include: AI-augmented research & analyst productivity — deploying LLM-powered tools to accelerate data synthesis, report generation, and market forecasting. Intelligent data products — embedding predictive models and AI-driven insights directly into IDC's subscription and advisory offerings. Agentic content & marketing workflows — leveraging generative AI to personalize content, automate content pipelines, and optimize Foundry's MarTech capabilities. Enterprise AI infrastructure — building shared platforms, APIs, and MLOps practices that enable AI adoption at scale across all IDC business units.
