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.

• Supporting the Maintenance topic's go-to-market approach, in partnership with Operations leadership

• Engaging and communicating with client stakeholders and senior leaders with credibility and confidence, both in person and virtually

• Operating effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, and adapting quickly as client and case needs evolve

• Working collaboratively as part of a global, virtual team, while also contributing effectively onsite with clients

• Understanding, designing and deploying AI agents, skills and tools to improve impact and productivity

• Bringing a curious, entrepreneurial mindset – open to new ideas and able to propose innovative approaches to unfamiliar problems

• Multi-tasking and navigating a matrix organization, balancing case work with broader topic-building priorities

• Demonstrating a strong work ethic and service mentality, with a willingness to showcase and share your expertise

• Managing projects with ability to prioritize work in a fast-paced environment, demonstrating business sense and adaptability

• Training, coaching, and mentoring junior team members

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years of consulting experience in Maintenance, Operations, or a related industrial/asset-intensive field; candidates with consulting experience strongly preferred

• In lieu of consulting experience, 4+ years minimum industry experience required, ideally in maintenance, reliability, asset management, or broader operations roles; 6-10+ years of relevant industry experience strongly preferred

• Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills (both verbal and written) to interact with internal and external stakeholder while working in a global collaborative team environment

• Deep understanding and expertise in Maintenance, Asset Management, Reliability, or related domains

Who You'll Work With
