BCG is looking for an Expert Project Leader or Associate Director focused on Sustainable Manufacturing and Emissions Reduction to join our Climate and Sustainability team and work alongside some of the world's top minds in the industry.

BCG helps clients transform their business models to optimize for societal and business value. With businesses facing more pressure than ever to rethink their role in society and improve their impact on people and the planet, BCG is looking for an expert to help our clients take on difficult challenges when it comes to climate and sustainability.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
In this unique role, we are looking for someone who can: • Lead consulting engagements focused on sustainable manufacturing, including energy efficiency, waste management and emissions reduction
