Job description

About proSapient

proSapient is a global Expert Network firm. We provide clients with rapid access to high-quality, relevant expert insights, through a combination of world-class client services and innovative AI technology. Whether it's a private equity firm evaluating an investment or a consultancy business charting a new strategy, we connect these clients with industry experts who deliver the insights needed to make impactful, informed decisions.

We are a venture capital-backed scale-up headquartered in London with a diverse, international presence across our offices in Lisbon, Toronto, and Raleigh. With a team of over 260 employees, we are one of the UK's fastest growing and most successful female co‑founded businesses.

We are offering a salary of €22,500 + uncapped commission. Please apply if you are keen to start a role in July of 2026. Please submit all applications in English.

What is an Associate?

As an Associate, your primary responsibility is to rapidly connect our clients (Private Equity & Consultancy firms) with top industry experts from around the globe. Our clients have high expectations, so if you excel in a fast-paced target‑driven environment, proSapient could be the ideal place for you. After an intensive training period, you'll be honing and applying a variety of skills, including communication, sales, project management, and negotiation.

You won't find a typical 9‑to‑5 here – we work with some of the world's most respected investment and professional services firms, and sometimes the role will require going the extra mile and putting in extra hours. However, the rewards, uncapped commission and growth opportunities make it all worth it!

Key Duties

• Understand Client Briefs: Receive and understand various client briefs, conducting initial research into new industries, companies and business topics to ensure a good base level of understanding of your client's needs. Your business and commercial understanding will grow exponentially.
• Expert Sourcing: Having understood the client brief, a large part of your day will be spent sourcing experts on a global scale by:
  • Utilising our AI‑driven Platform as a key source to find potential matches from within our existing network
  • Utilising professional networking sites and other online resources to source new experts to join our network
• Expert Communication: Employing a mix (Calls, Emails, Messaging, etc…) of outbound methods to reach experts, you'll then engage with and vet them to evaluate their suitability for the brief. These interactions are fantastic opportunities to learn more about an industry, build your professional network and hone your negotiation skills.
• Project Management: Work closely with your team to meet project deadlines and exceed clients' expectations.

Requirements

• The drive to meet and exceed personal targets. Comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment and taking ownership of your own success.
• A client-focused mindset, committed to surpassing client expectations and delivering true value through speed, quality and excellent service.
• A curious nature, enjoying the opportunity to learn about various industries and develop new skills.
• Enjoy working in a team and collaborating with others to achieve success.
• MUST be fluent in English and German (the ability to speak other languages is a plus).

Benefits

• Generous uncapped commission scheme that is designed to encourage and reward over performance.
• Hybrid working (a maximum of 3 days in the office).
• On top of the hybrid working policy, you can enjoy the flexibility of working remotely for up to 20 days extra each year, allowing you to tailor your work environment to your needs and embrace a change of scenery.
• Growth Opportunities – at proSapient, your career growth is as dynamic as the role itself. We offer multiple paths for career development, allowing you to tailor your journey based on your skills and interests.
• Full health insurance through AdvanceCare (once passed probationary period).
• Up to €9.60 meal voucher per day.
• Enhanced Maternity & Paternity pay.
• Enhanced sick pay (up to 10 days per year).
• Team outings – from quarterly gatherings to our annual Winter & Summer parties.

Next Steps

• Attend a short Introductory Insight Session before your first‑stage interview.
• First stage interview with a member of the Talent Team.
• Second stage interview including a Case Study exercise with a Senior Associate and a Team Lead.
• Final stage interview with one of our Associate Directors.

We are committed to building an inclusive workplace – if you are interested in the above role, but don't necessarily tick every box, we encourage you to apply anyway. This role could still be a great match!

At proSapient, we are an equal opportunity employer. As such, we offer equal employment opportunities without regard to race, colour, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status and other protected class characteristics.

All employment is decided based on qualifications, merit, and business need.
