About The Position

Do you want a front-row seat to enterprise AI transformation — and a real role in making it happen? NEXUS is IDC's enterprise initiative to modernize how market intelligence is produced, governed, and delivered at scale. And right now, we're building the operational backbone that makes it work. As an AI Transformation & Program Operations Co-op, you'll work directly with the NEXUS program owner, embedded at the operational core of one of IDC's highest-priority transformation programs.

Your work will be visible. Your contributions will matter. And you'll leave with a genuine understanding of what enterprise AI transformation actually looks like from the inside.
