What the role involves

As a Client Services Associate, you will be central to connecting clients with the expert knowledge they need.

• Find, contact, and engage industry experts across different sectors.
• Use persuasive communication to overcome objections and secure expert participation.

The role is designed to build sales ability, negotiation skills, relationship management, and early leadership capability. Internal progression is a major part of the culture, and high performers can move into management within roughly two years.

You will also gain direct exposure to major clients, including private equity firms, hedge funds, and consultancies, giving you experience working with sophisticated buyers in a demanding environment.
