Job description

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

This is not your typical job—and certainly not your average temporary role. For 6 months, you’ll step into one of the most unique and forward-facing positions in all of BCG. No other Practice Area has a dedicated role focused on measuring and articulating the real-world planetary impact and business value of our work with clients. If you\'re passionate about driving sustainability at scale and want a seat at the table where strategy meets environmental outcomes, read on.

As the 6-month temporary cover for the Global Impact Senior Manager for Climate & Sustainability (C&S), you’ll play a pivotal role in helping BCG deliver on its bold ambition: to be the most positively impactful company in the world.

C&S is at the forefront of BCG’s global agenda. We’ve made significant commitments to invest in and partner with clients to unlock sustainability transformation that creates both business value and tangible planetary outcomes. While minimizing our own footprint remains critical, our path to true, planetary-scale impact runs through the work we do with our clients—including the world’s largest emitters and polluters—to steer them decisively toward Net Zero and Nature Positive futures.

This is where you come in. In this role, you will join the C&S Practice Area’s Management & Operations (M&O) team, helping to shape how we measure, express, and inspire action through the impact our work generates—environmentally, reputationally, and commercially. No other Practice Area in BCG has a dedicated role like this. You’ll be at the center of helping us scale sustainable transformation, with the rare opportunity to define how impact becomes a measurable, strategic asset.

You will work with a wide spectrum of internal and external stakeholders, across four exciting dimensions:

1. Quantify impact and value of our Climate & Sustainability work:
   • Partner with case teams across our 1000+ C&S projects annually to drive tracking and development of impact and value metrics—from carbon to water, waste, biodiversity, and beyond.
   • Act as a strategic thought partner to teams, helping them translate their sustainability work into meaningful and credible impact expressions, aligned with global standards
   • Collaborate closely with BCG’s Social Impact team and subject matter experts to ensure rigor and alignment.
2. Develop inspiring (yet robust!) impact stories – for internal and external audiences:
   • Curate a set of simple and telling stories/outputs that inspire our employees, recruits and clients based on data gathered from case teams
   • Work with our Marketing and References team to bring these stories to life, creating externally facing client impact videos – to showcase our best success to the market
3. Develop BCG IP (leveraging C&S case data from last 18 months) on when impact and value can go hand in hand:
   • Take the lead in identifying powerful patterns in C&S case data: when and how delivering business value also drives positive planetary outcomes.
   • Work with C&S and Social Impact leadership to shape this into a thought leadership asset—whether it’s a publication, TED-style talk, or an insight report aligned with our three value pillars.
   • Drive the process end-to-end, combining analytical rigor with strategic insight.
4. Engage Global leadership and functions:
   • Prepare discussions with BCG’s most senior leadership forums, helping to shape the direction of our global sustainability strategy
   • Contribute to the development of our Annual Sustainability Report, ensuring our narrative reflects the full breadth and integrity of our impact.
   • Liaise with Legal and External Communications teams to ensure ambitious yet responsible messaging, safeguarding BCG’s reputation and avoiding greenwashing risk

What You\'ll Bring

• We are looking for a high-energy, self-driven Project Leader-level profile with:
• A strong passion for Climate & Sustainability, and a desire to make a difference at scale.
• Excellent storytelling and communication skills, able to simplify the complex and inspire diverse audiences.
• A track record of leading initiatives independently, ideally in fast-paced, matrixed, and virtual environments.
• Outstanding project and stakeholder management, with the ability to work across leadership levels and functions

Previous experience in impact measurement, sustainability, or related fields is an asset—but not a prerequisite. What matters most is your drive, agility, and leadership to shape one of the most meaningful agendas at BCG today.
