What is an Associate?

As an Associate, your primary responsibility is to rapidly connect our clients (Private Equity & Consultancy firms) with top industry experts from around the globe. Our clients have high expectations, so if you excel in a fast-paced target-driven environment, proSapient could be the ideal place for you. After an intensive training period, you'll be honing and applying a variety of skills, including communication, sales, project management, and negotiation.

You won't find a typical 9-to-5 here – we work with some of the world’s most respected investment and professional services firms, and sometimes the role will require going the extra mile and putting in extra hours. However, the rewards, uncapped commission and growth opportunities make it all worth it!

1) Utilising our AI-driven Platform as a key source to find potential matches from within our existing network and

2) Utilising professional networking sites and other online resources to source new experts to join our network.

• Expert Communication: Employing a mix (Calls, Emails, Messaging, etc...) of outbound methods to reach experts, you’ll then engage with and vet to evaluate their suitability for the brief. These interactions are fantastic opportunities to learn more about an industry, build your professional network and hone your negotiation skills.
• Project Management: Work closely with your team to meet project deadlines and exceed clients’ expectations.

The key skills needed for this role are:

• The drive to meet and exceed personal targets. Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and

  speed, quality and excellent service.
