Re: Marketing Operations Manager - International Data Corporation (IDC)

Christina,

I definitely agree that having someone with an expertise in B2B marketing is a huge plus, especially with campaign planning and tracking KPI's. You mentioned that the position is in the IDC Framingham, MA headquarters, does that mean you are or are not open to remote workers?
