Full Job Description
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. You ensure that the Managing Director & Partners (MDPs) and/or Partners you support have what they need to seamlessly serve 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 keeping up with the fast pace of our Consulting team by managing case team logistics, managing complex schedules (including internal and external meetings), end-to-end ownership of travel planning, and keeping track of time and expenses.
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 Admin 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. Your career at BCG will be at the intersection of your skills and desires and the needs of our business; it will only be limited by your investment.
