BCG Learning and Development (L&D) delivers a world-class learning experience that accelerates our people's development, deepens their sense of belonging, and unlocks their potential to impact our firm, our clients, and the world. Our team supports the development of OneBCG consulting team members across North America (NAMR).

This role will be part of our system- and office-facing System Learning Engagement (SLE) Team. The SLE team supports the broader mission of L&D by bringing learning into the everyday experience of our staff. You will partner closely with the System Learning Manager to address staff development needs by directing learners to relevant resources and creating local learning experiences. You will also collaborate closely with other NAMR L&D sub-teams and local People functions to ensure alignment across staff development touchpoints and deliver cohesive learning experiences. This includes executing best-in-class in-person elements of our Learning Journey curriculum and accelerating organizational learning through campaigns. As the System Learning Senior Specialist, you will serve as a key point of contact for new employees as they embark on their BCG career. You will play an instrumental role in their successful onboarding and skill development, which is critical to our ability to serve our clients with excellence.

To be successful in this role, you will need to think on your feet, be solution-oriented, and communicate at all levels of the organization to deliver quality experiences for our participants and facilitators.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including Learning Topic Activation, HR, Office Services, and IT—to deliver integrated onboarding and development experiences.

• Monitor and synthesize program feedback, using insights to inform continuous improvement efforts and share learnings with broader L&D stakeholders.

• Contribute to team norms and culture, supporting the onboarding and mentorship of new team members and participating in strategic office-level initiatives.

• Perform additional special projects to support local office L&D priorities, including ad hoc learning needs and office-driven development efforts.
