WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a Lead Knowledge Analyst (LKA) within BCG's Center for Customer Insight (CCI) and the Customer Demand & Innovation topic (CD&I) within our Marketing, Sales & Pricing Practice Area, you will collaborate and partner in a growing global team, providing industry and/or functional expertise and insights. You will work together with case and proposal teams to provide knowledge assets, analysis and expert advisory. You'll serve as a thought partner and content expert to case teams and topic/sector leaders, helping structure and solve complex issues.

Additionally, as an LKA you will drive development of intellectual property and knowledge assets to support the sector/topic business, serving as an active contributor to commercialization efforts for the topic/sector, whilst working with business leaders to drive proposals & go-to-market efforts. As an LKA, you may line manage a team of junior colleagues, taking responsibility for their goal setting, ongoing feedback and career development support.

You will contribute to the management and enablement of a high-performing team of quantitative and qualitative consumer research experts within the CCI – 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 generalists, etc.
  • Being a "face" 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

And as a consumer 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). You will engage in efforts to improve BCG's proprietary approaches, build methodologies and tools, and guide generalist consultants on the execution of quantitative and qualitative research.

CD&I projects ignite growth for our global clients across industries through best-in-class insights on customer behavior and needs. One project may involve writing a survey to inform the investment thesis for a consumer products client looking at an acquisition in a new category.
