About the Client Service Team

The Client Service Team is the revenue epicenter of our business. A career in the Client Service Team at the company is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to build an accelerated career, unlock competitive performance compensation, and develop key core skills across an array of competencies in sales, professional communications, client relationship management, project management, account management, and people management. Hard work, drive, and commitment to delivering value will put you on track to becoming a Manager in 2 years and a Vice President in 5 years.

About the Role

As an Associate in the Client Service Team, you will act as a knowledge broker between our clients and industry experts. Your role is to partner with our clients to understand their knowledge gaps and identify experts with the most relevant experience and knowledge that can address them. One day you could be connecting a private equity firm with experts to better understand the sub-Saharan African telecommunications market, while the next day assisting a strategy consultancy looking into the growth outlook for solar energy in the Middle East.

You will need to think critically and fast, conduct high-level research into industries and companies, and identify the best experts ensuring they have the most relevant experience and knowledge to address our clients’ questions. You will spend a reasonable amount of time reaching out to potential experts via phone and email to assess whether they possess the relevant experience and knowledge, before connecting them with our clients. Working on multiple client projects at once, you will quickly develop core skills in sales, time management & prioritization, negotiation, and professional communication skills.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Analyzing client project briefs to pinpoint their knowledge gaps and performing thorough research on the industry and company to discover the most suitable experts;
• Engaging in outreach through phone calls, LinkedIn, and emails to connect with potential experts;
• Carefully evaluating experts for their relevance and appropriateness to meet client requirements with a strong focus on quality.
