A day in the life of a Summer Associate

As a Summer 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 Summer 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 unique training curriculum and intense on-the-job coaching, helping you develop highly transferable commercial and managerial skills.
• An inspiring, high-energy, merit-based environment with ambitious peers.
