This placement is a 12-month Client Service opportunity beginning in September 2027, based in London. It is designed for students who want real commercial responsibility, direct exposure to live client work, and the chance to build practical skills in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.<\/p>\n

AlphaSights describes itself as a global knowledge platform that connects ambitious professionals with experts around the world. The company works with major investment funds, strategy consultancies, and large corporations, helping them make better decisions by giving them access to specialist insight. The business operates internationally, has a large global workforce, and combines client service with proprietary technology to stay competitive.<\/p>\n

What the role involves<\/h3>\n

As a Client Service placement student, you will sit at the centre of the relationship between clients and experts. The role is highly communication-driven and requires you to manage several assignments at the same time while working to demanding deadlines. You will be expected to stay organised, move quickly, and communicate clearly in a high-pressure setting.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Serve as the main point of contact connecting client teams with external experts.<\/li>\n
  • Manage expert outreach and communication throughout the day, including screening calls and negotiation conversations.<\/li>\n
  • Identify the best expert matches for client requests and work to secure their participation.<\/li>\n
  • Handle multiple live projects at once for clients such as investors, strategists, and dealmakers.<\/li>\n
  • Build an understanding of the commercial issue, the market environment, and the legal and regulatory framework relevant to each project.<\/li>\n
  • Use AI-supported sourcing tools to map industry structures, trace value chains, and find suitable experts to contact.<\/li>\n
  • Work in a deadline-led environment where multitasking and responsiveness are essential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Who this placement is suited to<\/h3>\n

    The programme is aimed at students who enjoy pace, pressure, and measurable goals. AlphaSights is looking for people who are commercially minded, client-focused, and ready to take ownership early.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • You should thrive in a target-driven, fast-moving workplace.<\/li>\n
    • You need to be comfortable working under pressure and meeting tight deadlines.<\/li>\n
    • You should have a strong client-first attitude.<\/li>\n
    • You should be resilient, determined, and willing to take initiative.<\/li>\n
    • You should be open to learning new systems and workflows, including AI-enabled tools.<\/li>\n
    • You should be able to adapt quickly and keep improving your output through new technology and processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What you will learn and gain<\/h3>\n

      The placement is positioned as a broad introduction to the business world rather than a narrow specialist track. It is intended to help you develop transferable commercial skills and give you exposure to senior people in the organisation.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Exposure to the business world without being locked into one industry or profession.<\/li>\n
      • Transferable skills in professional communication, negotiation, persuasion, project management, and time management.<\/li>\n
      • Dedicated time with senior leadership.<\/li>\n
      • The chance to complete a business-focused project for the co-founder and regional head.<\/li>\n
      • Potential to receive a full-time offer to return after graduation.<\/li>\n
      • Structured training and coaching, starting with the New Joiner Academy during the first weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        What AlphaSights is looking for<\/h3>\n

        Applicants need to be strong academically and ready for a demanding placement environment. The company also values evidence of initiative and achievement beyond grades.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • You must currently be studying for a bachelor\u00e2\u0080\u0099s degree that includes a placement or year-in-industry component.<\/li>\n
        • You should be due to graduate in 2029.<\/li>\n
        • A minimum 2:1 or equivalent academic result is required.<\/li>\n
        • You should have evidence of achievement outside your studies, such as extracurricular leadership, internships, or part-time work.<\/li>\n
        • Interest in business is beneficial.<\/li>\n
        • Strong communication ability is essential.<\/li>\n
        • English fluency at C2 level is required.<\/li>\n
        • Native-level fluency in another European language, or experience living and working in continental Europe, is helpful but not compulsory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Pay, perks, and working environment<\/h3>\n

          The placement comes with a competitive package and a central London office setting. The role also includes several day-to-day workplace benefits and a flexible element at the end of the week.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Expected salary of \u00c2\u00a330,000 to \u00c2\u00a335,000 per year, depending on performance.<\/li>\n
          • Performance-related pay with no cap on earnings.<\/li>\n
          • 25 days of holiday each year.<\/li>\n
          • UK bank holidays and a Christmas shutdown period.<\/li>\n
          • Private health insurance and dental cover.<\/li>\n
          • Central London offices.<\/li>\n
          • Subsidised lunch.<\/li>\n
          • Free breakfast, snacks, and fruit during the day.<\/li>\n
          • Ability to work from home on Fridays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Application details<\/h3>\n

            The application process asks for standard personal and academic information, including your legal name, contact details, CV, cover letter, university, degree structure, graduation year, grades, language ability, major category, and extracurricular activities. It also asks whether you have previously applied to AlphaSights, which office you applied to, and how you heard about the role.<\/p>\n

            The form includes a question about whether you now or in the future will need a visa to work in the UK, with answer options that include cases where AlphaSights would need to sponsor a Skilled Worker visa.
