Our most vital resource is our people. That's why Human Resources is one of our most vital teams : From recruiting to career development for BCGers, from training and mobility support to staffing (assigning our consultants to client casework), the Human Resources Team plays a decisive role in making BCG not just a company, but a Group in which every employee can become their best.

We are looking for an experienced and proactive professional to join our Center of Expertise (CoE) for Mobility & Immigration as a Senior Specialist .

You will act as the central point of contact for mobility and immigration topics within G&A, lead collaboration with internal stakeholders and external partners, and manage regulatory obligations across key regions.

In addition to program execution, you'll foster cross-functional alignment and support the continuous development of our policies and processes. Finally, you'll play a key role in training, reporting, and stakeholder enablement, ensuring BCG remains agile and compliant in a complex international context.
