The Role

As an Associate on our client service team, you'll act as the connection point between our clients and industry experts. Your role is to focus on clients' knowledge gaps and identify specialists with the knowledge that can address them. Thinking quickly and critically, you'll conduct surface-level research on companies and industries to identify the precise experts around the globe who can answer our clients' questions. You'll spend considerable time reaching out by phone to experts to assess whether their expertise is a relevant match to the client request you're working on and you'll connect qualified experts to our clients in real time. Working on several client requests at the same time, you'll need to learn effective prioritization to efficiently identify and qualify highly relevant expertise.

This is a fast-paced, client facing, communication-intense role with a clear focus on effectiveness and revenue generation. Associates develop skills in negotiation, professional communication, project management, client service, conflict resolution, and training which pave their way to successful careers in commercial and operational leadership.
