Life at GlobalData

Your part in our journey

GlobalData is a company of more than 3,500 people who embody our values of courage, curiosity and collaboration. Their values and talent shape our success and underpin our mission to help our clients decode the future, make better decisions, and reach more customers.

Values that represent our heritage and our vision of the future

GlobalData began its journey in 2016 by combining a diverse range of well-established data and analytics providers across multiple industries. Many have decades of trusted customer relationships and values that foster innovation and entrepreneurship.

Today, we operate as a single company, serving over 5,000 customers. We still strive for an environment that brings out the entrepreneurs in all of us; however, we believe in the power of collaboration and have grown into a trusted, global business with the scale, data, analytics, and insights that empower us to achieve so much more.

Life at GlobalData is fast-paced, entrepreneurial, varied, fun and rewarding – and our people reflect that. We are curious, innovative, and passionate about understanding the world and embracing change. We attract those with the desire and stamina to contribute positively to our customer agendas and our rapidly evolving business.

We are obsessed with our customers, and all roles collaborate to support them. We have over twenty functions, the largest being Analysis, Editorial, Consulting, Data Science, Customer Success, Account Management and Business Development

Current Vacancies

Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace supportive of a diverse workforce. We treat all employees fairly and with respect and aim to create an environment in which our differences and contributions are recognised and valued. 

We embrace our employees’ differences in age, gender identity or expression, disability, ethnicity, socio-economic status, family or marital status, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique. 

We benefit enormously from a rich and diverse mix of people, skills and cultures.

Employee Resource Groups

Our three DE&I Employee Resource Groups - GenderBalance, EmbRace, Pride - are Company sponsored and employee-driven communities which help ensure that employees with shared characteristics, experiences and interests have a platform and safe space to voice their opinions, learn about diversity and inclusion challenges within GlobalData and externally, and guide organisational practice and the prioritisation of initiatives.

Our Communities

Charitable organizations have been put under tremendous pressure by the pandemic and we are proud to have worked with some amazing charity partners to support their work.

Our Philanthropy ERG provides financial resources, time and skills to support causes that are important to our employees and integral to our local communities. We have recently taken steps towards initiating a charity donation matching program, and our employees will soon be able to participate in our volunteer programs.

Some of the charities we support:

Professional Development

Through our job families and architecture project, we are providing employees and recruitment candidates with a clear path, or choice of paths, for their GlobalData career.

Employees can aim to move up a level within their function, make a lateral move with new responsibilities, or move into an entirely new business area.

Mapped to these career paths, we are developing new competency frameworks that translate our values and desired behaviors into specific day-to-day knowledge and practical skills relevant to employees in each function across GlobalData. These competencies also reflect our D&I agenda.

Early Professionals

GlobalData supports students navigating the earliest stage of their careers, and each year we offer over 50 paid internships, based mainly in London.

“Completing an internship at GlobalData was the most worthwhile thing I could have done for myself career-wise. It was such a valuable insight into the company and the enormous variety of roles available. I received an unparalleled level of support and guidance, which proved useful not only during the internship but also afterwards in identifying potential career paths; I learnt so much.”
Sofia Robson - GlobalData Intern (2021 intake)

Our Graduate Analyst Program provides permanent roles for early professionals with the potential to fast track and become GlobalData leaders of the future. Participants work on our exciting Thematic Intelligence service.

Due to its success, we have also launched a Customer Success Graduate Program.

The latest addition is our Trainee Journalist Program, providing aspiring journalists the opportunity to write for our network of GlobalData owned business to business media sites, all of which are under different industry recognised brands

"It’s a great opportunity to be in a role where you’re constantly learning, surrounded by interesting and inquisitive people. It allows you to discover topics which you might never have researched otherwise and become fascinated by them. Specializing in specific areas feels very fulfilling making me excited to keep up with all of the latest developments on that topic. Becoming knowledgeable in a range of topics has enriched my life outside of work too, as it broadens your understanding of how the world works.”
Emma Taylor - Associate Analyst, Thematic Intelligence
