You will be an important member of that team.

You will have the opportunity to work on diverse accounts as well – clients can range from a Big 4 consulting firm, to an asset manager to cool new start-up technology companies.

More specifically, you will work in teams of two to five, with colleagues from all levels and regions (we are global!), including the Managing Director, where you will be involved in brainstorming sessions, daily client work, events and conversations to best help your clients reach their goals.

To help you get accustomed to our diverse client mix and offering, Cognito also offers hands-on learning and training to develop your role as a communications consultant from PR and social to marketing.
