  • Solid analytical skills (e.g. for business reporting tasks) and a structured way of thinking
  • Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills to interact with internal and external stakeholder while working in a global collaborative team environment
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Professional, service oriented, pro-active and flexible attitude
  • Advanced knowledge in Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel

Your key stakeholders in this role are the Global Practice Management Executive Director and Practice Area Manager as well as the broader C&S management team. You will be working alongside PA Managers and Coordinators (within C&S and across other PAs) and colleagues in adjacent BCG functions like Marketing, Finance, Meetings & Events etc. You will also interact directly with other Leadership Team members like the PA Leader, e.g. in the context of PA Meeting or Leadership Team meeting organization.
Practice Area Management & Operations team members keep BCG's industry and functional practice areas operating responsively and efficiently.
