Who We Are

Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact. To succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures - and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, generating results that allow our clients to thrive.

Practice Area

The Corporate Finance & Strategy Practice (CFS) combines rich expertise in corporate strategy concepts with a management methodology designed to create sustainable value-add for BCG clients. Our team provides extensive experience in planning and implementing corporate transactions including merger & acquisition deals and divestitures. We deliver analytic approaches that allow senior management to effectively deal with challenges such as generating growth, managing a portfolio of assets, forming a world-class finance organization, understanding risk, and responding to the way capital markets assess companies today. Taking swift action in turning around and restructuring a business for long-term survival is also part of our offering.

What You'll Do

BCG is looking for an Expert Consultant or Project Leader to join our CFO Excellence team. Our CFOx team partners with CFOs to tackle their most pressing challenges - reimagining finance operating models for peak efficiency, unlocking the power of advanced analytics and AI, and driving transformative value across the organization. With unmatched experience across industries, our team helps finance leaders modernize systems, enhance transparency, and position their finance functions as catalysts for strategic success. Join us to shape the future of finance and make a lasting impact. As an Expert Consultant, you will be integrated into a BCG team to leverage your deep expertise on projects that reshape finance functions. You will be given end-to-end responsibility for a workstream within a BCG project. You will work closely with clients to understand their issues, create strategies for change, and win buy-in for your recommendations, while also collaborating with colleagues on complex client issues. You will provide deep expertise and insight to clients and help build your expertise area within BCG. A majority of your time will be focused on supporting and executing case work. Expert Project Leaders play a key role on client engagements, managing projects within their domain of expertise to define client needs and supervising team activities to develop and deliver relevant insights. They oversee the formulation of hypotheses for problem solving and investigation, apply advanced analytical and financial analysis of client, competitor, and industry data, and leverage deep domain expertise alongside business principles to develop actionable recommendations. Expert Project Leaders supervise work including strategic due diligence, product development initiatives, change management programs, and the evaluation of long-term investment opportunities, and are responsible for managing client contact and playing a key role in the development and maintenance of high-level client relationships. The Expert Consulting Track (ECT) is vital to BCG’s ability to successfully meet our clients’ demand for deep expertise and advanced technical capabilities. Experts deliver next-level impact for BCG's most complex and cutting-edge client challenges. Experts focus on developing BCG's thought leadership, commercial capabilities, and intellectual property assets; and their work is essential to our delivery model. Working alongside our traditional and specialty consultants to bring the ‘best of BCG’ to our clients, Experts come from diverse backgrounds, with expertise often gained outside of BCG in industry, academia, or specialized consulting. Consulting work is varied and rigorous, much of it performed at our client sites. Projects can vary in length, size, and location, depending on the client’s challenge. Because our clients operate all over the world, you may travel internationally.
