• High motivation to exceed personal weekly, monthly, and quarterly commercial targets
• Desire to work in a collaborative, team environment where we strive to provide an excellent experience for experts and clients consistently
• Confidence in speaking on the phone daily with potential recruits, making outbound cold calls when needed and various other outreach methods
• Ability to professionally manage resistance and consistently convert recruits
• Ability to quickly digest and implement feedback and coaching
• Polished and persuasive verbal and written communication
• Successful track record managing multiple, simultaneous complex tasks and prioritising time either during education or within a professional environment
• Full business proficiency in English and French or Italian; another modern European language would be a bonus

Career progression:

After achieving specific quantitative and qualitative goals (conversion of recruits, consistent high - quality end-to-end delivery), Associates typically progress onto a Senior Associate role. This is a client-facing role, where expectations include end-to-end project delivery, including recruiting new experts, building relationships with clients and learning about GLG’s broader product offering.
