• Learn to lead discovery and qualification conversations with senior executives, while developing your consulting expertise.
• Architect creative solutions that integrate Gallup’s research, people and tools to solve client‑specific challenges.
• Collaborate with methodologists, researchers and delivery teams early in pursuits to ensure technical credibility, confident scoping and executable statements of work.
• Grow into achieving consultative sales goals, with key metrics including bookings, revenue and client impact.
• Develop domain expertise and represent Gallup at industry forums, roundtables and client events, leveraging Gallup research to open commercial conversations.

What You Need

• At least two years of client‑facing professional services experience.
• A proven track record of cultivating business development opportunities that lead to successful client engagements within a consultancy, donor‑funded or public‑sector context.
