and designing the question list. The Associate will collaborate with one of our
Sector Analysts (Third Bridge employee, like an internal client) on the projects to source the industry experts
Once the Sector Analyst assigns a project, the Associate will do some desktop research and will be responsible for sourcing the Industry Expert we want to connect and invite for an industry interview. You need to find the most relevant individuals using LinkedIn, company websites, job boards, our own database, and a lot more. Once you've found someone with the right background, you are then responsible for making contact with them. Most often, that comes in the form of a cold call. You will introduce Third Bridge and what we do, screen the individual’s background, assess whether they have the right experience/knowledge related to the project/topic, and if they are the
right fit for the topic, convince them to participate in our industry interviews.
