Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.

BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures—and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, generating results that allow our clients to thrive.
What You'll Do
In today’s fast-changing business landscape, strategically leveraging data and tools is vital to enhancing BCG’s client offerings and fostering sustainable growth in a highly significant area for the firm. Our competitive edge is partly rooted in the breadth, depth, and excellence of our data assets and tools. BCG has adopted a new data and tools strategy to further develop world-class data assets and tools and invest in strategic areas and "big bet opportunities." The rise of Generative AI further accelerates the need for seamless integration into this approach.
Key Components Of This Strategy Include
- Establishing a Practice Area-led data and tool strategy, where each Practice Area (PA) manages its portfolio and makes investment decisions, supported by a cross-PA committee to handle overlaps.
- Setup of an enhanced "Digital Factory" (DF) to provide best-in-class technologies and platforms for PA tools & data assets.
- Implementing robust investment and governance frameworks to ensure high-quality product portfolios and their effective use by case teams.
- Leading a systematic and rigorous management of external data purchases for PAs with active portfolio management, unified purchasing and charge back mechanisms.
We are looking for a Global PA Product Strategy Senior Director – Digital Factory to bring the new Data and Tools strategy to life, and to engage with DF interfacing with Practice Areas, BCG Vantage and Digital Factory. The role will involve turning the strategic objectives into actionable plans, collaborating with leadership and teams from PAs, BCG Vantage and Digital Factory to drive clear progress and outcomes.
Responsibilities Include

- Ensure Digital Function (DF) receives clear, well-prioritized requests that are aligned with PA needs, balancing innovation efforts with the maintenance of existing tools and solutions
- Work with Digital Factory for smarter cross-asset data layers and integration to provide robust and scalable data platforms for PA offerings
- Link to the Data Layer team (associated with BCG’s Agile Toolkit and IT):
- Act as a liaison between the Practice Areas (PAs), Digital Factory and the Data Layer team to ensure data storage, processing, and management platforms are aligned with current and future data-driven initiatives
- Look for opportunities to integrate data across multiple PAs to create more unified and comprehensive assets that enhance BCG’s market offerings
- Systematic and fair external data management for PAs
- Ensure that external data procurement aligns with BCG’s overall strategy, balancing costs and value while enabling PAs to access high-quality data sources efficiently
- Manage the external data portfolio for PAs, including aspects such as assessment of value, prioritization, contract terms, and charge back mechanisms. For some data assets, partnering with the BCG team responsible for 3rd party data assets (the GECM team), may be required.
- Monitoring impact and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships
- Establish clear and consistent metrics across PAs to measure the adoption and overall success of data and tool assets, ensuring that these metrics provide valuable insights into performance.
