Associate, Client Service, Korean Speaker, 2027

Full job description

AlphaSights brings together some of the most ambitious people to work with leading investment funds, strategy consultancies and Fortune 500 companies, connecting clients with niche experts worldwide. Founded in 2008, AlphaSights has earned its place as a market leader through client service excellence and proprietary technology. This role sits on the Asia International team, based in London, which specialises in servicing AlphaSights' Asia clients as they complete US-facing work; as an Associate on this team, you will source US-based experts and work closely with colleagues in Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo and Shanghai who co-lead these client projects, enhancing your cross-cultural and business communication skills. As an Associate in the Client Service team more broadly, you will be the link between clients and the expert knowledge they seek, working on multiple projects from investors, strategists and dealmakers, in a communications-intense role. Responsibilities include owning end-to-end client-expert communications (phone-based screening and negotiation with experts), leveraging AI-powered sourcing tools to map industry value chains and identify relevant experts, and understanding the project, market, legal and regulatory context. The program offers a broad introduction to the business world, transferable commercial and client management skills, a clear career path to Manager after 24-30 months and Vice President after around 5 years, and the possibility of qualifying for AlphaSights' MBA Tuition Program after successful completion. Requirements: a strong academic record (undergraduate degree of 2:1 or above); noteworthy extracurricular achievement; relevant internship experience; and fluent English and Korean or C2 level is required. (Note: AlphaSights' own posting for this role contains a copy-paste error naming a different language in the requirements section; corrected here to Korean, consistent with the role title.) Total first-year compensation ranges from £48,500 to £57,500 (average to high performance), consisting of a £41,500 annual base salary plus uncapped variable performance-based compensation, with a 4% matched pension contribution, comprehensive private health and dental insurance, 25 vacation days plus bank holidays and the Christmas closure, a state-of-the-art office in central London with subsidised lunch and free breakfast/snacks, and the option to work from home on Fridays. Preferred start date: January or April 2027.
