About this role

As an intern on our Client Service team, your work is at the heart of what we do: you’ll be the link between our clients and the expert knowledge they seek.  You’ll get real commercial frontline responsibility and work on live client projects. 

To succeed in this role, you need to be motivated to deliver results for your clients and to achieve commercial goals. This is a communications-intense frontline role requiring a client-first mindset and the ability to multi-task across parallel workstreams. Throughout a fast-paced workday, you’ll work on urgent projects from investors, strategists, and dealmakers at top-tier client organizations. You’ll spend considerable time finding, outreaching (via phone and email), and vetting the experts most suited for each project. Once you’ve found the right expert, you’ll connect them with our clients across a variety of formats (interviews, in-person meetings, surveys, etc).

What you’ll do

• Client service: Utilize your business acumen to find and recommend the most relevant experts for each project. Complete tasks across multiple projects quickly and under pressure and go the extra mile to impress your clients with your proactivity and responsiveness.
• Market context: Understand the project context and the legal and regulatory environment in which your clients operate. Apply the compliance protocols to each situation.
• Expert recruiting: Confidently reach out to, recruit, and vet experts who are uniquely relevant matches for your clients’ projects. 
• Commercial impact: Take on direct revenue responsibility and own targets from the outset. 
   

What you’ll get

• Client and senior executive facing responsibility from the get-go.
• The opportunity to make a measurable contribution to your business unit’s revenue growth and to achieve significant variable compensation reflecting your success.
