What You’ll Do

• 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.
