What You’ll Do

As a Practice Area Senior Manager within BCG’s Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) Practice, you will own, structure and drive the management of the regional PA agenda — with particular emphasis on our commercial engine and our people.

You will oversee the commercial rhythm of the region, including account management, pipeline development, and commercial excellence, while playing a central role in the health, engagement, and growth of our people base.

• Drive internal communications for the region, ensuring clarity and connectivity across a dispersed, multinational team
• You’re Good At
• Self-starting with a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial drive to work autonomously
• Managing ambiguity with a high level of comfort — using independent thinking and judgment to move forward without requiring a reference guide for every process
• Bringing a positive and highly collaborative approach to working across a multinational matrix environment
• Earning the respect of a very senior cohort of Managing Directors and Partners who are remotely located — juggling competing priorities, showing influence, and meeting demanding deadlines

• Synthesizing data from multiple sources — including AI-assisted analytics — to generate actionable business insights for senior leadership
• Refining and implementing governance models and operating rhythms, ensuring the region runs with discipline and clarity
• Affiliation and communications — building energy and engagement across a dispersed community through events, content, and proactive outreach

• Master’s degree or MBA preferred
• Structured thinking with strong analytical problem-solving skills
