What You'll Do

BCG is transforming how we build our brand, engage clients and talent, and leverage data, AI, and digital channels to drive commercial impact at scale. Central to this ambition is how the world finds, evaluates, and engages with BCG — whether through our website, traditional search, or the rapidly growing ecosystem of AI-powered discovery tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and generative search features embedded across Google and Bing. As the Web & Content Discoverability Senior Director, you will own the full stack that makes BCG's thought leadership and commercial content visible, credible, and authoritative across every discovery surface. This is a senior leadership role spanning multiple disciplines — with direct accountability for the teams, technology, and governance that underpin all of it. This role sits at the intersection of editorial strategy, digital product, and marketing technology. You will report into the head of Digital Marketing and Executive Director and partner closely with our editorial, marketing, and engineering teams to ensure that what BCG publishes reaches the audiences who need it — and that BCG is consistently surfaced and cited as a leading voice across both traditional and AI-driven search.
