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.

The Staffing function is the holistic owner of key components of the BCG consulting team employee experience. Most notably, the function drives the development and deployment of BCG’s most important asset – its people – while supporting overall business objectives (e.g. staff utilization, project team balance). The Consulting Team Talent Senior Specialist will play a key role in driving strategic and operational support for the Staffing function on the West Talent Management team within BCG’s West Coast system, while also serving as a team member of the larger consulting talent community in North America.

The Talent Senior Specialist will partner with and coach individuals on their staffing, development, and career navigation with some support and oversight from senior Talent Management staff as appropriate. Additionally, a large portion of this person’s time will be spent driving end‑to‑end operations for the dynamic allocation and prioritization of business development resources and managing other system priorities (e.g. summer intern staffing).
The role is ideal for someone passionate about a career in the HR/People space, and who thrives in fast‑paced environments while maintaining a keen attention to detail. A qualified candidate is a strategic thinker who can effectively prioritize competing tasks and collaborate with, influence and manage stakeholders (including all levels of Consulting staff + Business Services Team members across key functions like Finance/HR) to meet the needs of individual consultants, the firm, and our clients.
