  • Pushing commercialization and business development
    • Be the engine to grow the commercialization of Strategy topics by teaming with key stakeholders (e.g. business leads, topic leads, industry leads) and aligning key initiatives. This includes defining and executing shared go-to-market campaigns, and tracking conversion rates of applied Strategy expertise and products.
    • Define sector priorities in partnership with the global sector teams, customize the sector-specific Strategy "offering" with the help of the IPA nodes and help push the go-to-market commercialization agenda, including shaping the narrative and developing relevant content for key internal and external meetings.
    • Drive the external relationships end-to-end to build Strategy's brand and raise its profile among key external audiences (e.g. SATT events, high profile publications, and external partnerships).
    • Support the Strategy core leadership team in its business development priorities for the year and to proactively identify opportunities to further grow the business (e.g., efficiencies in processes, unlock white spaces).
  • Leading internal growth affiliation initiatives
    • Work closely with the Global Business Leader to raise the profile of the Strategy Business internally by growing the next generation of strategists at BCG.

  • Participating in PA projects and beyond
    • Independently connect the Strategy business agenda to initiatives within the broader CFS agenda as well as with overarching initiatives (e.g. Resilience) and continuously monitor and push the progress.

    • Support global and regional PA projects (e.g. topic related initiatives and conferences in the region.

  • Collaborating, facilitating, and communicating effectively with teams and individuals of various seniorities, geographies and backgrounds - particularly with a group of senior stakeholders.

  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree preferred
  • Ideally 10-12+ years experience

  • Strong credibility and interpersonal skills with senior members of BCG
  • Capacity to navigate and operate effectively in a matrix organization
  • Collaborative team player, ability to maintain discretion when needed
