Overview

Bain & Company is a global consultancy that helps the world’s most ambitious change makers define the future. Across 61 offices in 38 countries, we work alongside our clients as one team with a shared ambition to achieve extraordinary results, outperform the competition and redefine industries. We complement our tailored, integrated expertise with a vibrant ecosystem of digital innovators to deliver better, faster and more enduring outcomes. Our 10-year commitment to invest $2 billion in pro bono services brings our talent, expertise and insight to organizations tackling today’s urgent challenges. We earned a platinum rating from EcoVadis, the leading platform for environmental, social and ethical performance ratings for global supply chains, putting us in the top 1 percent among other consulting firms. Since our founding in 1973, we have measured our success by the success of our clients, and we proudly maintain the highest level of client advocacy in the industry.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

Over the past two decades, Bain has formalized Industry and Capability areas, internally known as “Practices”, integral to how Bain wins and delivers results to its clients. A Practice can be considered a Business Unit of Bain & Company. While there may be some allocation to client-facing work, the role within a Practice is primarily focused on supporting our client-facing partners and case teams to deliver great client and people success stories. Specifically, the Practice defines and implements their own strategy and allocates resources to:

Boosts Bain’s knowledge and expertise in the sector or capability: co-create, shape and manage innovative perspectives and products to help the business win more projects, and to serve clients more effectively and efficiently
Prioritize clients and enable client full potential
Develop partner team and capabilities
Build the practice’s brand and reputation externally

WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM

Sustainability (which covers environmental, social, and economic justice issues) is an increasingly important topic for our clients. In the Sustainability Practice, we help our clients make critical decisions that impact the core of their business strategy, related to sustainability strategy, the environmental and social impact of operations, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability-related growth and cost opportunities. We work to ensure that sustainability efforts are anchored in business fundamentals and demonstrate a clear return on investment – and that those efforts are then firmly embedded within our clients\' strategy and operations.
