Job description

About Infoquest

At Infoquest, we believe that better decisions shape better futures. We are an expert network firm on a mission to empower consultants, investors, and corporate strategists with the insights they need when they need them. By combining a research-first methodology, cutting-edge technology, and a robust compliance framework, we custom-source subject matter experts who deliver targeted, on-demand knowledge.

As part of the Infoquest family, you’ll be joining a fast-growing startup culture at the heart of the GCC knowledge economy. This is not just a job; it’s an opportunity to help shape one of the most trusted and innovative knowledge-sharing platforms worldwide.

Why We Exist

In today’s world, decisions can’t wait. Investment funds, corporations, consultancies, and startups rely on us when time is limited and the stakes are high. Whether it’s a multi-million-dollar investment or a bold business strategy, we connect clients with the industry specialists whose expertise can make all the difference.

Our role is simple but powerful: we make inaccessible knowledge accessible fast.

The Associate Journey

As an Associate, you’ll be at the center of this mission. Think of yourself as the bridge between brilliant clients and the industry experts who hold the keys to crucial insights.

Your journey begins with hands‑on training in expert sourcing, cold calling, outreach, and negotiation. On a day‑to‑day basis, you’ll be driving outreach efforts, making calls, sending emails, and engaging professionals across industries. Hitting daily and monthly KPIs will be a core part of your role.

This isn’t a back‑office role. You’ll be on the phone, in your inbox, and at the forefront of sourcing experts, making sure every client request is answered quickly and effectively. Along the way, you’ll sharpen your communication skills, build resilience, develop emotional intelligence, and strengthen key sales skills such as persuasion, negotiation, and influencing people from all walks of life.

What You’ll Do

• Get Smart on New Markets: Quickly understand industries, trends, and client needs. Learn how to absorb information fast and translate it into effective sourcing strategies.
• Expert Sourcing: Use LinkedIn, databases, and online tools to identify and source experts across industries. Be resourceful and creative in finding the right people who can deliver real impact.
• Initial Outreach: Contact potential experts through cold calls, emails, and messages. Build confidence, resilience, and the ability to capture someone’s attention in the first few seconds, developing real sales skills in the process.
• Convincing and Negotiation: Persuade and engage experts by building trust, handling objections, and securing participation in projects. Apply emotional intelligence by adapting your tone, reading people, and connecting with them authentically, the same core abilities found in successful sales roles.
• Qualification: Conduct screening calls to assess expertise and fit. Develop your ability to ask the right questions, evaluate answers, and ensure relevance while creating a positive experience for the expert.
• Compliance and Data Security: Handle sensitive client and expert information responsibly, always adhering to Infoquest’s policies and industry regulations.
• KPI Achievement: Consistently work toward daily and monthly targets around calls, outreaches, and expert confirmations.

What We’re Looking For

• 0–4 years of professional experience in business, research, or client‑facing roles. Whereas you’re a fresh graduate or an early‑career professional, this role is built for ambitious talent ready to grow fast.
• Business‑fluent English for cold outreach, screening, and stakeholder engagement.
• Eligible to work in Colombia.
• Time management and organizational skills to handle multiple projects at once; experience managing multiple projects while meeting daily and monthly KPI targets is a plus.
• A proactive, collaborative mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment.
• A personal match with our values: Excellence, Results, Adaptability, Collaboration, High Performance, and Integrity.
• Experience using LinkedIn and online tools to identify and qualify experts is a plus.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Relevant internships or experience in business, consulting, or commercial fields.
• An entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for building and creating.
• Fluency in French.

What We Offer

• Company merchandise and the chance to grow with a high‑speed startup.
• Clear career progression and access to learning & development programs.
• High bonus scheme: ability to double (or more) base salary with a lucrative incentive structure.
• Team events, dinners, and bonding activities that make work more fun.
