A day in the life of an Associate
As an Associate in the Client Service team, you’ll be the link between our clients and the expert knowledge they seek. These connections could take the form of an hour-long phone call between the client and expert advisor, a survey, or a written research product. Throughout your workday, you will work on multiple projects from investors, strategists and dealmakers at top-tier client organizations seeking expert insights to inform their decision-making. This is a communications-intense frontline role requiring you to multitask across parallel workstreams.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Owning end-to-end client-expert communications, spending a significant part of your day on the phone screening and negotiating with relevant experts to position the best possible matches for your clients’ requests.
- Leveraging AI-powered sourcing tools to map complex industry value chains and identify and engage with relevant experts.
- Understanding the project and market context and the legal and regulatory environment in which your clients and experts operate.
Ensuring success for our Associates means:
- Giving you an introduction to the business world without being pigeonholed into any one industry or profession.
- Helping you develop transferable commercial and client management skills spanning professional communications, negotiation, persuasion, project and time management.
- A clear career path for advancement to Manager after 24-30 months, and to Vice President after ~5 years.
