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.

The Associate (Consulting Clients) role is a results-driven role focused on delivering outstanding service to clients by understanding their specific needs on each project and connecting them with industry experts. In this position, you will leverage your ability to identify, engage, and manage experts who provide valuable insights that drive informed decision-making for our clients. By thoroughly understanding the scope of each project, you will play a crucial role in ensuring that clients gain access to the right expertise, enabling them to achieve their objectives effectively.

After completing our in-depth training at the New Joiner Academy, your key focus will be to:

• Manage and deliver commercial projects.
• Ensure a seamless, high-quality experience for clients and experts.
• Schedule and monitor call feedback to ensure speedy and effective exchange of knowledge between experts and clients.
• Prioritise and manage multiple client projects simultaneously, ensuring timely delivery of expert insights that meet client expectations.
• Audit projects to identify areas of improvement for future projects.

Qualifications:

In addition to gaining transferable, hands-on commercial and client management experience, you’ll develop a set of key skills that will be invaluable throughout your career.

• Drive: You’ll learn how to stay motivated and resilient, taking ownership of your work and seeking responsibility. You’ll sharpen your ability to understand project requirements, within a range of industries and topics, and find solutions to ensure success.
• Coachability: As you learn and grow, you’ll ask the right questions, quickly absorb feedback, and apply it to improve your performance and make informed decisions.
• Credibility: You’ll strengthen your verbal and written communication skills, learning to adjust your style for different audiences and influence positive outcomes.
• Problem Solving: You’ll develop a proactive mindset, learning to anticipate challenges and think strategically to overcome obstacles and deliver results.
