GLG Jobs - Dublin Client Solutions Associate Programme | German Speaker

Dublin Client Solutions Associate Programme | German Speaker | January 2019

Dublin, IE

GLG is seeking entrepreneurial inquisitive graduates to join our research teams in Dublin. Our Associates are front-line service professionals and the engine of GLG. They work closely with our experts and subsequently with clients -- professionals at the world’s top corporations, investment firms, management consulting firms, and nonprofits -- on the critical decisions they make every day. These custom learning solutions include phone consultations and one-on-one meetings as well as surveys.

Our Associates work in teams, helping connect our clients to the insight they need from these leading doctors, academics, scientists, policy specialists, strategists, executives and other experts with years of on-the-ground experience. Associates themselves develop expertise across industries and topics via their client service role. Our teams based in Dublin work with clients across the EMEA region, particularly our French, German, Italian, Spanish and Nordic clients; meaning our Dublin teams regularly use their language skills in their day to day roles.

The Associate Programme begins with the Junior Associate role focused on mastering recruiting skills and understanding about industries and businesses over six to nine months. During this time, responsibilities gradually increase, with an opportunity to be promoted as a Senior Associate.

The Associate Programme offers training sessions to explore additional topics, teach valuable skills, and indulge curiosity. Our fun, team-focused environment includes community volunteer programs, birthday celebrations, and various team-building activities.

GLG attracts employees from the most distinctive professional and academic backgrounds. Across the company, we look for individuals who embody GLG’s values: learning and curiosity, responsibility, courage, judgment, fresh perspective, service, and integrity.
