Third Bridge |

At Third Bridge, we’re a primary research business providing professional services to Private and Public Equity Investors, Investment Consultants, Investment Managers, and more.

We help those investors understand companies and the issues they face. We build and share intelligence on key industry drivers and the latest sector trends. And we offer the kind of critical knowledge that’s regularly overlooked by conventional investment research, and which investors won’t find anywhere else on the planet.

Put simply, we’re creating the world’s largest database of human insights - and we’re the architects of an incredible ecosystem that fuels better and faster investment decisions.

Together, we're on a mission to design, build and deliver a different kind of future. It’s all about creating a space where people are empowered to make bold moves. To explore new ways of working. To go where no one has ever gone before.

We're evolving fast

Since we began our journey in 2007, we’ve quickly evolved into a global research organisation with a 1,300-strong team solving our clients' specific problems from twelve locations across three continents. In that time, we’ve focused on quality as much as quantity. We’ve aggressively scaled up our business. And we’ve continually invested in our people and the impact we want everyone to be able to make, personally and professionally.

We're on a mission

Our mission is to democratise the world’s human insights and flip the traditional research model upside down. And we know what will help us achieve it: the quality of our people, and the skills and knowledge they possess. Join us and your mission will be just as clear. We want Third Bridge to be a place where you can learn, grow and progress… every day.

We're a first-choice destination

To make well-informed investment decisions, our clients require access to the most relevant experts - and their unrivalled knowledge and expertise. We won’t stop until we’re the first choice destination for our clients - not just a premium partner. It also means that when it comes to career opportunities, we want to be the first choice destination for you, too.

We’re proud of the global, collaborative, flexible and adaptable culture we’ve built along our journey. It’s a culture that’s centred around feedback and open communication. One that encourages fresh perspectives. And where there’s a shared belief that all ideas help fuel our continuous improvement. Behind it all is a leadership team that works hard to encourage excellence - along with a set of culture commitments that drive us all to achieve more and do better, every day. We commit to:

Our business doesn’t just span the globe - it embraces all kinds of different cultures, too. Which means our people can make an impact in lots of different ways. But one thing that will always unite us and bring us all together is the warm and welcoming environment we’re proud to have created here at Third Bridge.

It’s what drives us to learn more, reach further, and make our business an incredible place to be. And it’s what inspires us to show our true authentic selves, to be our best, and to do our best work.

From London to Shanghai, we’re building something amazing, and here are just some of the brilliant DEI focused initiatives we’ve put in place.

Breaking the bias

We believe in creating a safe space so that everyone can be their true and authentic selves, and we can only do that through enabling psychological safety and removing biases. That’s why we deliver Breaking Bias training to everyone within their first nine months after joining us, and it includes a roundtable discussion where we can share our experiences and learnings.

Mentorship programmes

Senior leaders throughout every region and every department volunteer to mentor aspiring leaders each year. The programme is designed to nurture our female talent and help them achieve their career goals, through coaching, building networks and learning from one another.

We also do:

• Offer regular greenspace clean-up days to take care of our communities
• Host panel discussions and book clubs to foster open-mindedness
• Mark key milestones like Pride Month, Black History Month, and Mental Health Awareness Month with in-office celebrations and fundraisers

• Recruiter Video Screen - If we think you could be a good fit for the role, you'll speak to one of our Recruiters via Google Meet. On this call, we'll dive a little more into your background and ask you to bring your CV 'to life'.

Lastly, we'll end with some competency-based interview questions. In total, this call will last 20-30 minutes.
