Knowledge Expert

London, United Kingdom Boston Consulting Group Full time
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Knowledge Expert (KE) within BCG's Marketing, Sales, and Pricing Practice Area (MSP), you will be a leader within a growing global team. You will work together with case and proposal teams to provide expert advisory related to our Customer Demand & Innovation (CD&I) topic and its centre of excellence, the Center for Customer Insights (CCI).

In this senior role, you will contribute to the management and enablement of a high-performing team of quantitative and qualitative consumer research experts within the CCI â with a focus on building processes and governance that allows the team to scale and drive greater impact. Core responsibilities will include:
  • Support internal commercialization of CCI through networking and internal capabilities / awareness-building sessions with key regional stakeholders, development & facilitation of insight trainings for generalist consultants, etc.
  • Being a âfaceâ of CCI in the European and Middle Eastern region, fielding requests for support and serving as an advisor on CCI deployment models for case teams
  • Act as a thought partner to CCI leaders on optimal deployment of the team on cases, business development, and investments given availability and individual growth objectives
  • Oversight and maintenance of the teamâs capacity and ongoing development / training
  • Manage Europe- and Middle East-based insight vendor screening, relationships, and subscriptions
And as a consumer & brand insights expert in your own right, you will contribute to insight-related proposals, casework, and the development of intellectual property (i.e., original research and publications) â particularly those that deal with questions of brand strategy (e.g. positioning, campaign development, activation, portfolio / architecture, etc.). You will engage in efforts to improve BCGâs proprietary approaches, build methodologies and tools, and work alongside generalist consultants on the execution of quantitative and qualitative consumer research, brand strategy, and brand activation efforts.

MSP & CD&I projects ignite growth for our clientsâ brands across industries through best-in-class insights and strategies that are rooted in target customersâ needs. One project may involve writing a survey to inform the investment thesis for a consumer products client looking at acquiring a brand in a new category. Another project may involve developing, executing, and synthesizing new qualitative and quantitative research to inform brand extension opportunities for a travel and tourism client. Yet another may necessitate building a strategy to renovate the employer branding for a fashion and luxury client, or being part of the case team on the ground at a global alcohol brand that is trying to reset their brand positioning and roll it out across all consumer touchpoints.

Preference is for this candidate to be based in London, but for particularly strong candidates, there may be some flexibility to be based in a different metropolitan area where there is a BCG office.

  • Leading projects in a highly effective manner, mobilizing team to deliver on business priorities and commercial impact
  • You have a keen oversight on managing team capacities and skillsets, and in managing training programs to meet current and future demands.
  • Acting as a highly effective coach and mentor, guiding team members to achieve goals efficiently and effectively
  • Executing and/or leveraging customized primary consumer / customer research approaches to address brand-related client needs (e.g., positioning, brand architecture / portfolio strategy, creative briefing, partnership strategy, agency management, etc.)
  • Working in an ever-changing and complex environment, and comfortable with ambiguity and navigating a fast-paced environment
  • Strong ability to leverage and expand personal and professional networks to generate business opportunities and support internal marketing efforts.
  • Adept at navigating change and anticipating future needs.
  • Demonstrated experience in leading teams to improve coordination, deployment, billability, and a strong sense of affiliation.

  • Deep experience generating target customer / brand insights derived from a range of research methodologies (e.g., segmentation, attitudes & usage studies, MaxDiff, focus groups, online communities, etc.)
  • Expert in full lifecycle of consumer research: designing the approach / sample, writing questionnaires / discussion guides, managing fieldwork and related vendors, developing analytic plans, conducting data analysis, preparing compelling deliverables â with ability to coach junior team members on best practices
  • Preference for candidates with demonstrated experience using analytical skills to generate insights that inform business strategy; Mastery of Excel required; familiarity with tools such as Alteryx, SPSS, Tableau a plus
