About the Job

Introduction

At IBM, we take immense pride in our long-standing commitment to a diverse and inclusive culture. Inclusivity is deeply embedded in our DNA. Our history of inclusion began in 1914 when we hired our first employee with a disability, and we continued this legacy in 1942 by hiring a blind psychologist to develop specialized hiring and training programs. If you are looking to join a company with a powerful legacy of empowering all individuals, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity. We believe that valuing diversity transforms differences into opportunities, fostering an environment where every professional—and society as a whole—can thrive.
