The MDP Career Network Advisor provides career coaching and networking to BCG’s departing Managing Directors and Partners (MDPs). In this role, delivering a consistent, high-value coaching experience that optimizes existing resources and reduces reliance on external search partners is critical.

• Provide structured coaching to all departing MDPs (kickoff, monthly coaching, bi-weekly accountability)
• Guide MDPs in developing their leadership narrative and exit story
• Lead resume, Linked In, and board bio workshops to refine executive branding
• Prepare MDPs for C-suite and board-level interviews through mock sessions and feedback
• Support negotiation of executive compensation and board packages
• Help design onboarding strategies for new roles
• Build and track networking plans, ensuring disciplined outreach and opportunity development
• Partner with Career Services and Alumni teams to connect MDPs to leadership opportunities and strengthen alumni community engagement
• Engage with Regional Practice Area Leaders/client relationship managers to gather market insights, understand client demand trends, and surface leadership opportunities

• Executive career coaching and advisory experience is critical. You should have extensive experience guiding senior leaders through complex career transitions, helping them clarify their professional goals, reframe their narratives, and reposition themselves confidently in the market. To be effective in this role, you must combine empathy and gravitas, providing both emotional support and strategic counsel to help them move forward purposefully.
  
  Understanding labor market dynamics, leadership mobility, and the executive recruitment landscape is also critical.
• Collaboration and relationship building are crucial skills for this role both internally and externally. Internally, you will work with BCG’s most senior Consulting staff, Career & Alumni Services, and numerous other stakeholders to provide the highest level of support to departing Managing Partners & Directors (MDPs). You will also maintain and cultivate relationships externally (i.e. search firms, industry executive recruiters) to enhance job opportunities for our network and leverage connections to make the appropriate introductions for job seekers.
• Communication and problem solving are at the forefront of our daily work. You represent BCG in the external market. We partner with senior and seasoned executives who will expect business acumen and adequate preparation. You will connect with a number of BCGers to find solutions to talent related challenges including individuals going through a transition, clients and alumni with hiring needs, and client service teams planning strategies on how to best serve our clients.

• 10+ years in executive coaching/recruiting or senior leadership roles
• Deep understanding of executive search, C-suite/board hiring, and compensation structures
• Strong network and ability to gather market intelligence without transactional pressure
• Empathetic, discreet, and credible with senior leaders
• Excellent communication skills and presence
• Ability to handle confidential information with care and sensitivity

The MDP People Team is a small group with an outsized impact. We oversee a range of critical processes, including MDP recruiting, hiring, integration, departures, and HR, as well as the processes for MDP and Partner evaluations and promotions. As a part of this team, you will collaborate closely with the leaders of our firm, offering you a rare and comprehensive view of BCG’s people strategy and operations.
