    Job Description

    Why Join Us?

    We’re offering more than a role - we’re offering a career launchpad. As a Client Services Associate, you’ll develop the commercial awareness and business acumen that open doors to long-term careers in sales, account management, leadership, research and so much more. We promote from within, and our top performers move into management in as little as two years.

    • Build rapport fast and think on your feet

    • Are resilient and motivated to exceed goals

    What You’ll Do

    You’ll be at the heart of our business - finding, calling, and engaging industry experts to deliver the insights our clients need, often under extremely tight deadlines. Expect to spend much of your day on the phone, persuading specialists to share their expertise and securing their time for client calls.

    Day to day, you’ll:

    • Own projects end-to-end, truly understanding the specific client needs and scheduling high-calibre expert calls.

    • Cold call and engage experts across industries, overcoming objections and winning buy-in

    • Work at speed, managing multiple projects and clients at once

    • Learn fast, gaining broad knowledge of markets, business models, and regulations

    • Cross-Sell the full range of Third Bridge services including content library, surveys, advisory, as well as 1-1 calls.

    What You’ll Gain

    • Commercial edge: Sales, negotiation, relationship-building skills and the opportunity to develop leadership skills very early in your career

    • Client exposure: Work with leading private equity firms, hedge funds, and consultancies

    • Clear progression: Every manager started in the Associate role; promotion possible within 2 years

    • Annual Personal Development Allowance to invest in your growth
