About AlphaSights

With 1200+ employees and nine offices across the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia, AlphaSights regularly ranks as one of the fastest-growing companies in the world.
The Associate Role
We are seeking a Client Service Associate who is fluent in Hindi, Korean, Japanese, or Mandarin (as well as English) who will act as the connection point between our Asian international clients and global industry experts. Your role is to understand the knowledge our clients need and identify the industry professionals with the precise expertise to meet those needs. You’ll spend considerable time on the phone and email reaching out to people and assessing whether they possess the knowledge our clients seek. Once you’ve found the right expert, you’ll connect them with our clients across a variety of formats (interviews, in-person meetings, surveys, etc.).
This is a fast-paced, sales-oriented role where you’ll work on several client requests at once. There is a clear focus on results and revenue generation — leading to transferable skill development in project management, sales, negotiation, client relationship building, and more.
Your Responsibilities
- Working with APAC based clients (geographical focus dependent upon team placement), where you’ll be managing multiple client requests simultaneously
- Conduct high-level industry research to understand client requests
- Search extensively for industry experts across internal databases and external recruiting platforms
- Recruit experts through warm and cold email and phone outreach
- Deliver excellent client service through proactive follow-ups and strategic recommendations
- Partnering and collaborating with internal teams across AlphaSights’ US & APAC offices to drive positive client outcomes
- Support your APAC counterpart in day to day operations
- Build relationships locally and internationally
At AlphaSights we have two branches of our client service team that our Associates are placed into. Those who join our Associate Program may be hired into either of these teams, where you’ll propel business growth and client success by helping our clients achieve extraordinary results.
Core service team: focused on Corporate, Consulting, Private Equity and Capital Market clients, our CST members break down their requests and knowledge needs, and serve as their strategic partner to ensure they are well-equipped to leverage relevant perspectives across a wide variety of industries and regions. Specialized responsibilities include:
- Work closely with internal stakeholders across U.S. and APAC to drive seamless global client service on a day-to-day basis
- Identifying industry experts and assessing their suitability for client needs
- Directly connecting industry experts with clients via 1 on 1 calls
- Partnering with the Integrated Service team to help clients consume knowledge in other specialized formats
Integrated service team: working alongside our core service team to support our client sectors, our IST members make accessing knowledge simpler and faster for clients through a focus on our speciality service offerings, such as surveys and projects. Specialized responsibilities include:
- Working alongside internal stakeholders supporting a wide set of client types to identify opportunities to maximize client outcomes
- Researching industries, trends and experts to provide knowledge to clients through formats beyond the standard 1 on 1 call, including surveys, full service project delivery and enhancements on top of our primary services
What We Look For
- Results Orientation: A clear focus on results, ability to look at every angle of a problem, and come up with actionable solutions. You’re motivated by meeting monthly targets.
- Drive: Enjoy setting ambitious goals and embrace a whatever-it-takes mindset. You enjoy challenging yourself and have an innate curiosity about the business world.
- Adaptability: Ability to pivot quickly, think on your feet, and embrace ambiguity and change with confidence, rather than self-doubt.
