Senior Associate, Early Careers - Los Angeles, CA, United States - Third Bridge

Description

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.

This role is an Associate in Third Bridge and you'll be working with our Consulting Clients.
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.

As an Associate in our Consulting business, you'll have opportunities to work with the top management consulting firms in the world.

They will trust in you for access to the most relevant experts and research content, which you are responsible for identifying and recommending to them throughout their project lifecycles.

To do so you'll gather a unique set of stakeholder management skills that will help you deliver excellent 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.

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. Consulting clients count on us for their research needs, it's our job to execute on their requests for experts.

They operate under very tight deadlines that we have to match with urgency, but not at the expense of quality.

~ You will also receive lots of hands-on training and coaching yourself. We are a feedback-centric culture, and value effective communication.
~ Research partner:
Throughout their research, clients rely on us to think as an extension of their team.

You'll also need occasionally to go above and beyond to ensure a smooth partnership with your clients.

Curious about our Private Equity and Funds verticals? Focusing on an asset type allows our Associates to speak our clients' language and intricately understand how they operate.

You must be able to deliver high quality and high volume work on a deadline.

When your client relies on us for help at off hours, or your expert is in a different time zone, you strive to support - your hours vary according to the client project you are involved in, but you prefer that to a routine job.

You're competitive with a drive towards excellence, as you will be held towards both qualitative and quantitative performance measures.

Consulting firms work with many of our competitors, and you're focussed on setting yourself apart and have them rely on you as a trusted, true partner.

You always look for the most efficient way to get things done, rather than the path of least resistance - for example you pick up the phone to get an answer to your questions straight away, rather than send an email and wait for a reply.

It matters a great deal to you to understand how your performance ranks against your own potential and against others, so you continuously seek feedback to make sure you can be at the top of your game.

One of your clients preferring a competitor over you is not an acceptable state of affairs for you - you're relentless in getting the data points you need to adjust your approach until you are their number one.

What our people love about being Associates in Consulting Clients:

Being surrounded by people they not only enjoy working with, but who also challenge and support them from the peer level up through senior management.

Consultants truly lean on Third Bridge for their research, whether for strategy consulting or diligence work. Our clients are appreciative of and value our support and partnership.
Building strong relationships both internally and externally create significant opportunities for professional development.
