Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.

Practice Area Profile

Climate change is not a future threat-it's an immediate one. BCG's Climate & Sustainability practice (C&S) partners with businesses and governments to help them transform commitments into action and build a decarbonized, more sustainable world, driving technological and economic transformations to realize sustainable competitive advantage.
As part of our commitment to protecting the planet and helping clients achieve sustainable competitive advantage, BCG is deepening and broadening its focus.

WHAT WE NEED
BCG is looking for an Expert Project Leader or Associate Director focused in Value Capture to join our Climate and Sustainability team and work alongside some of the world's top minds in the industry. You will play a critical role in the growth of our Value Capture topic through case execution, client development, and intellectual property and product creation. 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: • Work closely with case teams to support LPs, GPs, and portfolio companies in understanding how to create value from climate & sustainability efforts, including strategies involving value-chain product & service impacts, DE&I initiatives, environmental impacts, etc.
• Define and generate value creation strategic frameworks and approaches tailored to different client contexts (e.g., industry, geography, size, type, etc.)
• Generate thought leadership around different methods that funds and portfolio companies have adopted in capturing value from climate & sustainability, and the potential impacts across different regions, industries, company sizes, company types, investment types, etc.

• Serve as a strategic thought partner and integrate with our broader Climate & Sustainability team to actively help with our Seat at the Table, industry leading publications, and client business development efforts

You will work closely with clients to understand their issues, create strategies for change, and win buy-in for your recommendations, while also collaborating with colleagues on complex client issues. Your expertise will be valued by senior clients and you will help build and contribute to BCG's intellectual capital while spending significant time supporting and executing case work.
