DescriptionWhat is Private Equity (PE)?In a nutshell, our private
equity clients invest in companies with the intention of increasing
the value of their stake down the line. The insights they get
through our experts and content become the basis of their decision
to invest in opportunities, or to pass on them.Associate, Private
EquityClientsAs an Associate you'll have opportunities to work with
the sharpest minds in private equity funds. They will rely on you
for access to the most relevant experts and content, which you are
responsible for identifying and recommending to them throughout
their investment lifecycles. To do so you'll gather a unique set of
commercial skills that will help you deliver extraordinary results
for both clients and experts, and grow professionally. 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.The hats you will wear:
- Salesperson: listen to your clients and tailor our offering in
a way that best suits their unique needs. Use your negotiation and
persuasion skills to create value for our specialists.
In practice: you will pitch our entire suite of products (content
and expert calls) to investors in your book of business, and you
will convince experts (from CEOs to technical experts) to speak to
your clients about their industry.
- Business developer: understand the drivers of profitable
revenue and find your path to grow it. Work with your team to
execute strategies for the accounts you are responsible for.
In practice: this could mean calling investors who have never used
our services to build relationships and get business from
them.
- Problem solver: A client can challenge you with any company
name and questions: you'll break down an industry within minutes,
suggest who they should speak with and what they should read.
In practice: you will search for relevant content and vet experts
to support your clients at each stage of their research.You will
not give them investment advice.
- Learner: apply the knowledge and skills you acquire on the job
to improve your productivity and find innovative ways to continue
advancing our business model.
In practice: when a process gets in the way of your speed, you
propose an alternate solution and speak with the right people to
implement it.Discover MoreCurious about our Consulting and Funds

Focusing on an asset type allows our Associates to speak our
clients' language and intricately understand how they
operate.QualificationsAreas that play to your strengths:
- You must be able to deliver high quality work on a deadline.
You will be working on lots of active workstreams simultaneously,
but that doesn't scare you - in fact it excites you, and you're
confident in your ability to multitask and remain organized.
Private equity investors are under a lot of pressure to make
decisions fast, but you stay calm and get things done. If at times
your client asks you for help out of 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. There is no typical week as a Third Bridge
Associate.
- The completely resonates with you, as this approach is part of
our DNA. You're an independent thinker who feels energized by the
freedom Associates have to come up with the best solutions for
their clients, because you're endlessly curious and often question
the way things are done. As long as you are eager to learn, we'll
provide you with the resources and coaching you need as you bring
value to your clients and experts.
- You're a clear communicator who can create the right narrative
to share your ideas with a wide range of people, such as
introducing our products and services to new clients and experts.
You find that conversations often lead to strong relationships with
people because you easily connect. 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. Cold calling doesn't phase you - what matters to you
is to get results, and fast.
- Your attitude is to roll up your sleeves and you enjoy being in
the thick of the action. 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. With the soft skills
gained on the job (hard skills are getting displaced by machines),
you aspire to a future as a high EQ business leader.Additional
