Throughout a fast-paced workday, you'll work on urgent projects from investors, strategists, and dealmakers at top-tier client organizations. You'll field incoming project briefs, quickly assess your clients' exact knowledge needs (e.g. when due-diligencing an investment opportunity), and then find, outreach, and vet the experts most suited for each project. You will own and manage all aspects of client-to-expert interactions, including scheduling, rescheduling, and follow-up inquiries.

Complete tasks across multiple projects quickly and under pressure and go the extra mile to impress your clients with your proactivity and responsiveness.

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.
• A clear career path for advancement to Manager after 24-30 months, and to Vice President after ~5 years.
• A unique training curriculum and intense on-the-job coaching, helping you develop highly transferable commercial and managerial skills.
• An inspiring, high-energy, merit-based environment with ambitious peers.
