Senior Manager - Marketing Events & Partnerships

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 – inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom‑line impact.

Working closely with the London, Amsterdam and Brussels (LAB) Marketing & Communications Senior Director, you will lead the design and delivery of BCG events in the UK, including its flagship executive events and “Seat at the Table” partnerships. These initiatives are central to BCG’s commercial strategy, strengthening our relationships with CEOs and C‑suite leaders while positioning the firm at the forefront of the most critical business conversations. You will own and elevate high‑profile partnerships, shaping distinctive executive experiences that deepen engagement, reinforce our thought leadership, and drive measurable impact.

As a successful candidate you will take on responsibilities including:

• Design and deliver curated, peer‑level forums for CEOs and C‑suite executives – experiences that are distinctive, intellectually rigorous and commercially relevant.
• Set the strategic direction for high‑profile executive events, leading end‑to‑end delivery from concept development through execution and post‑event evaluation.
• Own and evolve BCG’s “Seat at the Table” partnerships, setting the strategic vision, defining the value proposition, and leading senior external partner relationship management.
• Ensure all partnerships are aligned with firm priorities, Practice Area strategies, and regional leadership objectives, with clear measures of impact and ROI.
• Mobilize cross‑functional project teams (marketing, consulting teams, sector leads, PR, digital, operations and vendors) around a shared vision, ensuring clarity of roles, high performance and seamless execution.
• Integrate BCG thought leadership and intellectual capital into event programming in a compelling and commercially relevant way.
• Draft and refine executive‑level content including event narratives, panel frameworks, moderator guides and briefing documents.
• Act as a trusted advisor to MDPs, Regional Chairs and Practice Area Leaders – briefing senior stakeholders, crafting speeches and talking points, and shaping positioning to resonate with senior audiences.
• Use data and feedback to measure impact, drive continuous improvement, and clearly articulate the value delivered to stakeholders.
• Triage new event and partnership requests, evaluating alignment with strategic priorities and pushing back where appropriate.
• Line manage and develop team members, coaching on strategic thinking, content excellence and execution standards – creating a culture of quality and impact.

Please note this position is not restricted solely to the responsibilities listed above and that the job scope and responsibilities are subject to change.

You Are Good At:

• Thinking strategically and solving problems with structure and creativity.
