What You'll Do

The position is a critical role as part of the regional team that provides commercial support to CCOs (Client Coordinating Officers), MDPs (Managing Director & Partners) and Partners to set up and negotiate frame contracts and large / complex deals for our key clients.

This is a senior commercial role requiring significant experience, commercial judgement and the credibility to work closely with BCG's senior leaders on complex and strategically important client arrangements.

The countries within scope of support are part of Europe, Middle East, Africa and South America, collectively known as the EMESA region.

This individual will report to EMESA Business Development Executive Director, as part of the EMESA Business Development Team. This position will also have a strong interaction with the rest of the members of Business Development / Client Team Function, at global, regional and local level.

On a day-to-day basis, this position requires working closely with Finance, Legal and Risk teams within BCG, in addition to the Global Revenue Management network to support negotiations and contract management processes.

We are seeking a "hands-on" commercial and procurement professional with significant experience in negotiating indirect services categories including consultancy spend, as well as relevant experience within the professional services or consulting environment. You will need to demonstrate strong negotiation skills, commercial acumen, sound business judgement and the confidence and credibility to work with senior stakeholders on complex commercial matters.
