What You'll Do

You are essential to our business, essential to our success. We are Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a 60-years young strategy consulting firm. In recent years, BCG has been ranked #1 in Consulting Magazine's annual 'Best Firms to Work For' survey and #6 on Glassdoor's Best Places to Work list.As a dynamic, driven Executive Assistant (EA), you'll work with little direction to support several of our Managing Director and Partners (MDPs), ensuring they have what they need to seamlessly serve the needs of our clients and meet their internal commitments and goals. You will anticipate the needs of your MDP customers and look ahead to prevent problems before others even know they exist!

 

This position involves heavy scheduling (and rescheduling) of internal and client meetings, booking (and unbooking) travel, managing case team logistics, keeping track of time and expenses, and keeping up with the fast pace of our Consulting Team.While each of your MDPs will be based in another city and will spend much of their time visiting clients around the world, back at home base (the Nexus Atlanta office) you will be surrounded by a smart, team-oriented, and fun group of fellow assistants and Business Services Team (BST) colleagues.

 

This role starts with a 60-day in-office onboarding period designed to build strong foundations and accelerate learning.

 

After that, the role will shift to a hybrid schedule (60% in-office). Depending on business needs, you may be asked to come in more frequently to support team collaboration or key moments.

 

EAs help shape our culture by actively participating in office life and collaborating across functions to help fellow Business Services Team members.  Our philosophy is to grow by growing others, and you will serve as role models to more junior members of the Administrative Services 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 won't define a career path for you – but some EAs we've hired in this role have gone on to have long and successful careers as Senior Executive Assistants at BCG; others have gone into work in one of our many Practice Areas; some have managed teams or rotated through a number of other functions. 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.
