What is Consulting?
Our consulting clients work on behalf of large companies (e.g. Fortune 500's) or institutional investors and support them by doing deep dive research to provide guidance on their corporate strategy or investment decisions. The insights they get through our experts and content are the backbone of the recommendations they deliver to their clients.
Associate, Consulting Clients
As an Associate in our Consulting business, you'll have opportunities to work with the top management consulting firms in the world. They will trust in you for access to the most relevant experts and research content, which you are responsible for identifying and recommending to them throughout their project lifecycles. To do so you'll gather a unique set of stakeholder management skills that will help you deliver excellent results for both clients and experts. The projects can be complex, but the impact is meaningful - every day you will get to hear directly from your clients, experts and colleagues about the difference you have made.
The hats you will wear:
- Business driver: understanding excellent client servicing in a highly competitive market and how your work impacts revenue growth. Work with your team to execute strategies for the accounts you are responsible for.
- Problem solver: Consulting clients count on us for their research needs, it's our job to execute on their requests for experts.
- Player & coach: We operate as one team, both within your individual team and within the EU Consulting business at large. One day, you will be leading the charge, and another you'll be supporting your peers.
- Research partner: Throughout their research, clients rely on us to think as an extension of their team.
Areas that play to your strengths:
- You must be able to deliver high quality and high volume work on a deadline. You will be working on lots of workstreams simultaneously, but that energises you - you have the ability to multitask and remain organised, collaborating with others.
- The Founder's Mentality completely resonates with you, as this approach is part of our DNA.
- You're competitive with a drive towards excellence, as you will be held towards both qualitative and quantitative performance measures.
- You're a clear communicator who can create the right narrative to share your ideas with a wide range of people.
- Your attitude is to roll up your sleeves and you enjoy being in the thick of the action together with others.
What our people love about being Associates in Consulting Clients:
- Being surrounded by people they not only enjoy working with, but who also challenge and support them from the peer level up through senior management.
- Owning individual responsibilities to grow our business, while also being in a team-oriented environment and working closely with their peers.
- Consultants truly lean on Third Bridge for their research, whether for strategy consulting or diligence work.
- Getting to dip their toes into every imaginable industry under the sun, and getting exposed to a variety of individuals with unique perspectives and backgrounds.
- Building strong relationships both internally and externally create significant opportunities for professional development.
- We win together as a team.
