About The Position

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. The MDP Career Network Advisor provides career coaching and networking to BCG's departing Managing Directors and Partners (MDPs). In this role, delivering a consistent, high-value coaching experience that optimizes existing resources and reduces reliance on external search partners is critical.

Requirements

10+ years in executive coaching/recruiting or senior leadership roles
Deep understanding of executive search, C-suite/board hiring, and compensation structures
Strong network and ability to gather market intelligence without transactional pressure
Empathetic, discreet, and credible with senior leaders
Excellent communication skills and presence
Ability to handle confidential information with care and sensitivity
Executive career coaching and advisory experience is critical. You should have extensive experience guiding senior leaders through complex career transitions, helping them clarify their professional goals, reframe their narratives, and reposition themselves confidently in the market. To be effective in this role, you must combine empathy and gravitas, providing both emotional support and strategic counsel to help them move forward purposefully. Understanding labor market dynamics, leadership mobility, and the executive recruitment landscape is also critical.
Collaboration and relationship building are crucial skills for this role both internally and externally. Internally, you will work with BCG's most senior Consulting staff, Career & Alumni Services, and numerous other stakeholders to provide the highest level of support to departing Managing Partners & Directors (MDPs). You will also maintain and cultivate relationships externally (i.e. search firms, industry executive recruiters) to enhance job opportunities for our network and leverage connections to make the appropriate introductions for job seekers.
Communication and problem solving are at the forefront of our daily work. You represent BCG in the external market. We partner with senior and seasoned executives who will expect business acumen and adequate preparation. You will connect with a number of BCGers to find solutions to talent related challenges including individuals going through a transition, clients and alumni with hiring needs, and client service teams planning strategies on how to best serve our clients.
