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
In today's rapidly evolving commercial landscape, marketing has never been more strategic — or more technically complex. BCG is at a pivotal moment: transforming how we build and protect our brand, how we engage clients and talent, and how we leverage data, AI, and digital channels to drive commercial impact  are committed to becoming a benchmark for excellence in professional services— not just in what we say, but in how we show up, what we measure, and how we continuously innovate.
Realising this vision demands visionary leadership — someone who combines deep technical marketing expertise with the ability to drive cross-functional transformation, influence the most senior stakeholders, and translate strategic ambition into measurable outcomes.
As Technical Area Lead (TAL) for Marketing, you will be BCG's foremost technical authority on marketing practice. You will define how the marketing function technically operates, set the standards and architecture for how marketing capability is built and delivered, and be the connective tissue between marketing strategy and technical execution across the firm, ensuring alignment across platforms, teams, and stakeholders.
You will lead with both breadth — spanning brand, digital, content, data, and communications — and depth, setting the technical direction that underpins every major marketing programme.
You will oversee key decisions — including short-term delivery trade-offs vs. long-term capability build, platform and vendor selection, and the establishment and regular review of tech performance health metrics. From a people-management perspective, you will lead marketing chapter leads and specialists, managing external vendor relationships where relevant. You will develop a close working relationship with the Marketing Portfolio to partner with them and ensure alignment between marketing capability and BCG's commercial and brand priorities.
Among your responsibilities, you will:
In partnership with the Marketing Portfolio, create and deliver on the Marketing Portfolio's vision, strategy, and outcomes
Own key marketing products and platforms i.e. .COM, CMS, Marketing Engine to deliver on the BCG marketing strategy and execute against agreed direction.

Foster close collaboration between marketing, IT, data, and business functions to ensure marketing solutions are commercially aligned and technically sound. Act as a point of escalation when work spans multiple teams or systems, ensuring alignment and timely resolution of issues.
Ensure adherence to firm-wide standards while adapting them to meet the Marketing Portfolio's needs
