Overview
A leading multinational consulting firm is looking to hire an Associate (Infrastructure) to join its Rome office.
Associates work as part of a team on challenging and high-profile projects in a collegial and academically-oriented work environment. The firm is large enough to be sought after to answer complex economic, regulatory, and financial questions for clients around the world, but it also small enough to provide Associates with a variety of experiences and individualised development from experts. Associates are central members of each project team and they apply finance and economic theory and practice to high profile litigation, corporate strategy, regulation, and public policy issues on behalf of clients.
Associates are responsible for framing research approaches, managing projects, supervising team/staff, and developing client relationships while building individual expertise. As they gain valuable hands-on project experience, Associates also become more involved in marketing and business development efforts. The firm’s Associates benefit from continuous formal and informal training and development opportunities. Many Associates develop into Principals and testifying experts.
The firm values the intellectual and personal development of all its employees. You will be provided with a variety of experiences and individualised development from experts. The firm is committed to continuous training and development for consultants and has a strong track record of developing Associates into Principals/Experts.
