Who We Are

Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.

To succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures-and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, generating results that allow our clients to thrive.

What You'll Do

As a Senior Manager, Sustainability within BCG's Global Internal Sustainability Team, you will lead some of the most critical cross-functional sustainability initiatives that sit outside existing pillar structures but are essential to advancing BCG's Net Zero and environmental sustainability ambitions.

This is a high-autonomy, hands-on delivery role focused on converting early-stage ideas into tangible, scalable outcomes. You will be responsible for shaping, executing, and delivering priority programs in fast-moving and often ambiguous spaces. Your work will evolve based on emerging sustainability topics and business needs.

Key areas of responsibility :

  • Program design & delivery : Structure and lead multi-workstream sustainability projects with strategic and operational complexity.
  • Cross-functional coordination : Work across pillar leads, regional teams, and senior leadership to ensure alignment, credibility, and momentum.
  • Execution oversight : Drive progress through robust workplans, stakeholder engagement, and effective risk and issue management.
  • Strategy translation : Identify evolving priorities and translate them into actionable programs, pilots, or internal system improvements.
  • Emergent initiative leadership : Lead exploratory efforts in topics such as internal carbon pricing, ESG governance, SAF and removals strategy, or internal behavior change campaigns.

You're good at

You are a strategic operator who thrives in complexity, able to turn emerging ideas into structured programs and measurable results. You bring clarity to ambiguity, energy to cross-functional efforts, and discipline to delivery. Your strengths lie not only in driving progress but also in enabling others to contribute effectively to sustainability goals.

  • Driving end-to-end program execution in complex and high-stakes settings.
  • Building relationships across teams and influencing without formal authority.
  • Synthesizing insights quickly and turning them into clear narratives and recommendations.
  • Managing ambiguity, making tradeoffs, and prioritizing in fluid environments.
  • Translating technical or strategic sustainability topics into operational programs.
  • Creating systems and processes that improve how the team delivers on emergent priorities.
  • What You'll Bring

    You are a strategic problem solver with a consulting mindset and a track record of making progress on complex, unstructured challenges. You bring the ability to break down ambiguous issues, develop clear workplans, and drive results through data, structure, and collaboration. You are comfortable moving between strategy and execution, and thrive in roles that require agility, influence, and strong business judgment.

    Specifically, you bring :

  • 8+ years of experience in consulting, strategy, program delivery, or innovation in a dynamic, cross-functional setting
  • Proven ability to lead initiatives with high autonomy and drive outcomes in environments with limited precedent or playbooks
  • Exceptional structured thinking, analytical, and communication skills-able to synthesize information quickly and align stakeholders
  • Experience working across functions and influencing senior stakeholders in a matrixed organization
  • Familiarity with sustainability and climate topics is a plus but not a prerequisite; more important is the ability to ramp up quickly and apply core problem-solving skills
  • Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree or equivalent in business, public policy, or related fields preferred
  • Motivation to contribute to climate action and to shape the systems that enable it inside a global firm
  • Who You'll Work With

    You will collaborate with a broad range of colleagues across the team, including pillar leads for Transformation, Carbon, and Reporting, as well as secondees, analysts, and shared resources. You'll also engage closely with senior leadership and external partners in areas such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), carbon removals, and carbon credit strategy.
