Job Description

Third Bridge is a leading global research firm established in 2007, with over 1,500 employees worldwide dedicated to fueling decisions with expert insights. We accelerate and enhance decision‑making for investors and business leaders by uncovering unique expert insights across multiple sectors, geographies, and topics.

Start Dates:
January 2027 and April 2027.

We’re offering more than a role – we’re offering a career launchpad. As a Client Services Associate, you will develop commercial awareness and business acumen that open doors to long‑term careers in sales, account management, leadership, research, and more. Top performers are promoted from within, with many moving into management as early as two years.

• Love a fast‑paced, target‑driven environment
• Have the confidence to pick up the phone and start conversations with anyone
• Are naturally curious, quick to learn, and enjoy solving complex problems
• Build rapport fast and think on your feet
• Are resilient and motivated to exceed goals

You’ll be at the heart of our business – finding, calling, and engaging industry experts to deliver the insights our clients need, often under extremely tight deadlines. Expect to spend a large portion of your day on the phone, persuading specialists to share their expertise and securing their time for client calls.

• Own projects end‑to‑end, truly understanding specific client needs and scheduling high‑calibre expert calls.
• Cold‑call and engage experts across industries, overcoming objections and winning buy‑in.
• Work at speed, managing multiple projects and clients concurrently.
• Learn fast, gaining broad knowledge of markets, business models, and regulations.
• Cross‑sell the full range of Third Bridge services including content library, surveys, advisory, and 1‑to‑1 calls.

• Commercial edge:
  Sales, negotiation, and relationship‑building skills with early leadership opportunities.
• Client exposure:
  Work with leading private equity firms, hedge funds, and consultancies.
• Clear progression:
  Every manager started in the Associate role; promotions possible within two years.
• Annual personal development allowance to invest in your growth.

You’re intellectually strong, ambitious, have leadership or extracurricular experience, and have shown grit through internships, work experience, or other achievements.

• First‑year salary expected to be £51,000–£68,000 (based on average‑high performance), consisting of a £40,000 base salary plus an uncapped performance bonus accessible after the first month.
• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, pension contributions, and more.
• 25+ vacation days, flex days, and work‑from‑anywhere for one month per year.
• Engaging culture with social events, professional development, and a dynamic, supportive team.
