What You\’ll Do

As the IT Workplace Technology Project Director, you will be responsible for delivering BCG\’s global workplace technology stack across office build-outs, relocations, and upgrades. While this role does not focus on the development of new technologies, you will ensure the seamless selection, implementation, and integration of existing IT, audiovisual, and smart workplace solutions. A significant part of your role involves design coordination, ensuring that IT, AV, and smart office solutions align with the overall office design and construction process. You will lead the engagement with external AV and IT design firms, overseeing their work to ensure they develop detailed designs that reflect the agreed-upon solutions for the office. You will collaborate closely with architectural, MEP, interior, lighting, acoustic, and furniture designers, following structured design frameworks such as RIBA stages to guarantee full integration. This requires an in-depth understanding of how technology interacts with physical spaces and the ability to drive external partners to deliver a highly functional, user-centric workplace at a level expected in high-end professional environments such as law firms and banks.

This is a high-impact leadership role requiring exceptional consulting, influencing, and problem-solving skills. As the primary point of contact for workplace technology in your projects, you will act as the lynchpin between local offices and BCG\’s global standards, ensuring alignment while balancing both interests. You will regularly engage with Senior Managing Partners as stakeholders, providing expert guidance and building trust through clear and strategic communication. Success in this role depends on your ability to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, build trust, and communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences. You will need to proactively mediate between competing priorities, providing expert guidance to local offices while ensuring global consistency. This requires a consultative mindset, adaptability, and the ability to translate strategic objectives into practical solutions that support both operational efficiency and an enhanced user experience.

As a long-term expert-in-role, you will continuously refine your expertise in IT and workplace technology, shaping the way BCG offices evolve worldwide.
