What You'll Do

As a Manager – BCG Vantage on our Client Focus path within BCG's Operations Practice Area, you will work in a growing global team, embedding directly with case teams to deliver client impact through your Maintenance expertise and BCG Vantage's institutionalized assets – including proprietary tools, data, frameworks, and IP. Given the client-facing nature of this role, you will be expected to travel to client locations during staffing assignments as needed, partnering with case teams to understand client needs and to design and deliver tailored solutions.

Beyond case work, you will support commercialization efforts for the Maintenance topic – partnering with business leaders to shape proposals, client workshops, and marketing materials.

The Operations Practice Area is one of BCG's functional practices, helping clients build competitive advantage through improved performance and stronger strategic capabilities. Within Operations, the Maintenance topic focuses on helping clients improve asset reliability, maintenance strategy, and overall equipment/asset performance across industries.

·       Delivering hands-on client impact through case staffing – often onsite – working closely with case teams to solve maintenance-related challenges (e.g., maintenance strategy, reliability-centered maintenance, asset management/EAM-CMMS optimization, preventive/predictive maintenance, maintenance organization design)
