About Third Bridge
Third Bridge is a market-leading investment research firm. We provide integrated solutions for the world's top investors and business leaders to help them make smarter and faster decisions. No other company in the world provides the same holistic investment offering: our superpower is the combination of human insights and unique investor-led content with a global expert network. We serve over 1,000 investment firms, offering clients 24/7 coverage through our team of 1,300+ employees located across eight offices.
We are looking for new joiners into our Consulting and Private Markets teams.
Private Markets -
Our private markets clients invest in companies with the intention of increasing the value of their stake down the line. The insights they get through our experts and content become the basis of their decision to invest in opportunities, or to pass on them.
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.
Associate
As an Associate you'll have opportunities to work with the sharpest minds in private market funds and consulting firms. They will rely on you for access to the most relevant experts and content, which you are responsible for identifying and recommending to them. You will gather a unique set of commercial skills that will help you deliver extraordinary 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:
- Problem solver: A client can challenge you with any company name and questions: you'll break down an industry within minutes, suggest who they should speak with and what they should read.
In practice: you will search for relevant content and vet experts to support your clients at each stage of their research. You will not give them investment advice. There will be times where we need to think outside the box and offer solutions that bridge their knowledge gaps, quickly.
- Strong communicator: We operate as one team, both within your individual team and within the Third Bridge business at large. One day, you will be leading the charge, and another you'll be supporting your peers.
In practice: you will be asked to train and develop the people around you, both on your team and those you're working with on client requests. We are a feedback-centric culture, and value effective communication.
- Business developer: understand the drivers of profitable revenue and find your path to grow it. Work with your team to execute strategies for the accounts you are responsible for.
In practice: on every project, you will have an opportunity to drive performance by delivering on client requests. You will also be calling clients who have never used our services to build relationships and get business from them.
QualifikationenAreas that play to your strengths:
- Business fluent in German (written and oral - Level C1 and above).
- You must be able to deliver high quality work on a deadline. You will be working on lots of active workstreams simultaneously, but that doesn't scare you - in fact it excites you, and you're confident in your ability to multitask and remain organised.
- The Founder's Mentality resonates with you, as this approach is part of our DNA. You're an independent thinker who feels energised by the freedom Associates have to come up with the best solutions for their clients.
- 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.
What our people love about being Associates:
- Being surrounded by people they enjoy working with, who also challenge and support them.
- Partnering first hand with the leading investors and consultants in the world.
- Building their career in business on a foundation of problem-solving, communication and commercial skills.
- Living by "great minds think differently" in a diverse and inclusive team.
