Major Accounts Manager

The Company
GlobalData has been the fastest growing Market Intelligence company of the past decade. Now boasting 27 global offices and 4500 employees worldwide we are now one of the largest. Our story is one of tremendous growth and expansion - from a start up to a billion-dollar corporation in just 10 years.
That growth has been a combination of organic coupled with an aggressive period of acquisitions that has seen us snap up some of the biggest names in our space - BioPharm Insight, PharmSource, I.H.S Life Sciences on the Healthcare side. Canadean, ERC and Datamonitor for Consumer. And Current Analysis and the Pyramid Group for our Technology business unit.

We provide 18 Intelligence Centers / Industry platforms, enjoyed by over 4000 clients, but our core offerings are in 4 main area's. Healthcare which breaks down to Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices each of which has their own platform. Consumer which covers Consumer Products, Retail, Packaging, Travel & Tourism and Foodservice. Industrials which segments to Oil & Gas, Power & Utilities, Mining and Construction. And finally Technology.
Each platform is designed to provide a tool covering the entire industry value chain through a series of modules & services. Each covers a separate part of the value chain, can stand alone in its own right, has its own unique competitors but interlinks with the other modules. Meaning that rather than subscribing to a multitude of research vendors and trying to mesh their results together, you could use one provider, with strong data and analysis in its subject area, all on one site with a consistent methodology at the back end.
