Associate Intern, Korean Speaker_Hong Kong

We’re offering more than a role — we’re offering a career launchpad. As a Client Services Associate intern, you’ll develop the commercial awareness and business acumen that open doors to long-term careers in sales, account management, leadership, research, and so much more.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Expert Sourcing: Use our internal database and external directories to identify specialists who match the client’s project requirements.
