Executive Assistant

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.

What You'll Do You are essential to our office, and to our success! While we are proud of our heritage, we are even more excited about our future, and if you are the person we are looking for, we'd be excited to share it with you. In this role, you're the backbone of the function, ensuring that the Managing Director & Partners (MDPs) you support have what they need to seamlessly serve the needs of our clients, and meet their internal commitments and goals.

You anticipate the needs of your customers, look ahead, and prevent problems from arising. This position involves end to end ownership of scheduling (and rescheduling) meetings, booking (and unbooking) travel, managing case team logistics, tracking time and expenses, and keeping up with the fast pace of our Consulting Team. We operate in a hybrid model, meaning you'll be in the office more than half of the time and have the flexibility to work remotely (if you choose) for the other part of the week.

While in the office, you will be surrounded by a community of intelligent, highly motivated, and service-minded people. EAs help shape our culture by actively participating in office life and collaborate across functions to help fellow Business Services Team (BST) members. Our philosophy is to grow by growing others, and you will serve as a role model to more junior collaborators of the administrative team.

We work hard together, and we go out of our way to support each other - we want everyone to be successful, individually and as a team. We foster a supportive environment that propels your growth in the areas that inspire you. We provide real-time feedback, nurture curiosity, empower decision-making, and allow room to learn from mistakes. The Executive Assistant role offers numerous growth opportunities across a variety of areas including event planning, affiliation engagement, case team logistics management, client relationship building, and maximizing how the MDP allocates their time and energy.
