AlphaSights has successfully upended the traditional ‘expert network’ industry through its client-focused, bespoke search-led methodology and the innovative use of digital technology. A key component of this success was moving away from the pre-recruited database model epitomised by early entrants to the industry like GLG and towards a custom search-driven approach, whereby an AlphaSights Associate identifies and secures the most relevant expert(s) for the specific client need, whoever and wherever they may be, in near-real time. The central pillars on which this business model rests are (i) a scalable talent model to attract and retain outstanding client service professionals, and (ii) a proprietary technology platform that supports all workflows and tracks all communications end-to-end.

The company operates a highly values-driven culture and is comprised of a team of passionate professionals, strongly aligned behind the mission of ‘connecting the world’s top professionals with the world’s best knowledge’.

AlphaSights’ long-term vision is to become a lasting, meaningful global company. The key to achieving this vision will lie in continuously attracting, training, motivating and retaining outstanding talent; investing in technology, product and data to build an increasingly seamless knowledge delivery platform; and broadening its product and service spectrum so that AlphaSights becomes the go-to knowledge partner for more and more clients.

Role Context

AlphaSights is a high-end professional services organisation that provides investment and business professionals with on-demand access to tailored expertise across industries and geographies. Our clients purchase a service that is custom-tailored to their needs by our Client Service teams. While our delivery processes are supported by a pioneering technology layer, clients value us for the ‘brain work’ of value-added advisory and responsiveness.

The Marketing organisation at AlphaSights is comprised of four main functions that work in close collaboration with each other:

1. Brand and Communications
