Join to apply for the Finance Manager – Partner Services Group role at Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

Overview

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—as a result, we enable organizations to grow, build competitive advantage, and drive 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.

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

As custodians of the global MDP framework, PSG ensures that:

• MDPs understand and are inspired by the broader value proposition, beyond compensation and equity
• There is strong trust and confidence in the Compensation & Equity (C&E) framework and its outcomes
• MDP behavior is positively influenced through a clear understanding of how the framework reflects their contributions, decisions, and impact

We’re looking for a strategic and solution-oriented senior Financial Analyst to help reimagine how we reward, retain and incentivize our MDPs with regard to their long-term capital vehicle (LTCV). The LTCV is BCG’s working capital and having an understanding of capital structures (debt, equity) is valuable. This role will report into the Head of Program Analysis (Roberto Sestito, PSG Director).

In this role, you will develop a deep understanding of the current MDP C&E framework and specifically LTCV and the programs that exist today. You will drive the financial modeling and scenario analysis needed to transition from legacy approaches to a more harmonized model – within the context of a privately held global consulting firm. Success in this role requires the ability to understand archetypes, apply logical frameworks and optimize models to achieve desired outcomes. You will also learn about BCG’s overall business, P&L, strategic priorities, and other elements related to firm performance. You will work closely with senior leaders to design for the future and engage in implementation and change management planning to bring transformation to life.

As an example, this individual will take on responsibilities such as:

• Collect and clean raw data from various sources (e.g. databases, spreadsheets, etc.), ensuring accuracy, consistency and completeness
• Design, build and iterate on models that test the different impacts to individuals, archetypes and geographies
• Evaluate trade-offs between current reward models and forward-looking incentive designs (e.g., value-based, milestone-driven)
• Lead analysis, synthesis, financial modeling, sensitivity testing and ‘what if’ scenario analysis, and preparation of materials to communicate findings and make recommendations to PSG leadership, the BCG Executive Committee, and other sub-groups (‘steerco discussions’)
• Present and explain insights in a clear, engaging manner to both technical and non-technical audiences using slides and dashboards
• Team with the Head of Program Analysis and other senior leaders to manage different workstreams to implement changes and help infuse into our global policies, process, and norms

You are…

• Detail-oriented, rigorous about accuracy, challenging outcomes of work and tests broader understanding of how you got there
• Proactive self-starter with strong critical thinking skills and creativity to solve problems
• Able to handle ambiguity; break down a problem, run independently with an idea and suggest solutions
• Analytically curious and a thoughtful interpreter of data and patterns
• Confident asking probing questions, conducting thoughtful investigation, making informed recommendations, and explaining the logic used to others
• Comfortable with senior presence, and composure while working on high visibility deliverables
• Skilled at working in globally distributed teams, including with a line manager in a different geography, and effective at managing collaboration across time zones
• Willing to proactively jump in to help others, in a growing and fast-paced environment
• Able to build and develop strong, trusted working relationships
• Flexible, open to new ideas/change, and work collaboratively in an iterative environment
• Strong at written and verbal communication, with the ability to tailor messaging to diverse audiences

What You\’ll Bring

We are looking for a well-rounded individual who is comfortable navigating sensitive topics with leaders and can work collaboratively to influence leadership and implement change.

• 5+ years of Financial Analysis experience (finance, FP&A, compensation strategy or internal consulting)
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Business, Economics, Finance, or another quantitative discipline; MBA or other advanced degree strongly preferred
• Skilled in Microsoft Office applications – Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint
• Advanced Excel skills; pivot tables, nested functions, mixed references, arrays, etc.
• Experience in Power BI, Tableau and Python
• Excellent organizational, project-management, communication, and interpersonal skills; ability to communicate confidently and professionally with senior management
• Flexible and adaptable to rapidly changing priorities and ability to stay focused
• Ability to work independently on multiple, simultaneous assignments with minimal supervision
• High level of confidentiality and discretion in handling sensitive data

Who You\’ll Work With

You will work directly with Roberto Sestito, Mike Nowicki, Katie Caccese and Laura McDonnell, and be part of the broader PSG team, led by Amy Glass and Ben Holden. You will also work very closely with BCG’s Compensation & Equity subcommittee, a Task Force Working Group of ~10-15 MDPs, and a broader network of MDP change advocates.
