About the Role
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. Founded in 1963 as a pioneer in business strategy, BCG today drives total transformation by inspiring complex change, enabling growth, building competitive advantage, and delivering bottom-line impact. Our diverse global teams combine deep industry and functional expertise with a range of perspectives to spark change. We deliver solutions through management consulting, technology and design, corporate and digital ventures, and business purpose, working collaboratively across all levels of client organizations to generate results that enable clients to thrive.

As a Senior Manager, Sustainability within BCG's Global Internal Sustainability Team, you will lead critical cross-functional sustainability initiatives that fall outside existing pillar structures but are essential to advancing BCG's Net Zero and environmental sustainability ambitions. This is a high-autonomy, hands-on delivery role focused on converting early-stage ideas into tangible, scalable outcomes. You will shape, execute, and deliver priority programs in fast-moving and often ambiguous spaces, evolving your work based on emerging sustainability topics and business needs.

Key areas of responsibility include:
- Program design & delivery: Structure and lead multi-workstream sustainability projects with strategic and operational complexity.
- Cross-functional coordination: Collaborate across pillar leads, regional teams, and senior leadership to ensure alignment, credibility, and momentum.
- Execution oversight: Drive progress through robust workplans, stakeholder engagement, and effective risk and issue management.
- Strategy translation: Identify evolving priorities and translate them into actionable programs, pilots, or internal system improvements.
- Emergent initiative leadership: Lead exploratory efforts in areas such as internal carbon pricing, ESG governance, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and removals strategy, or internal behavior change campaigns.

Experience
- 8+ years of experience in consulting, strategy, program delivery, or innovation within dynamic, cross-functional settings.
- Proven ability to lead initiatives with high autonomy and deliver outcomes in environments with limited precedent or playbooks.
- Experience working across functions and influencing senior stakeholders in a matrixed organization.

About You
You are a strategic operator who thrives in complexity, able to turn emerging ideas into structured programs and measurable results. You bring clarity to ambiguity, energy to cross-functional efforts, and discipline to delivery. Your strengths include driving progress and enabling others to contribute effectively to sustainability goals. You excel at:
- Driving end-to-end program execution in complex, high-stakes settings.
- Building relationships and influencing without formal authority.
- Synthesizing insights quickly and developing clear narratives and recommendations.
- Managing ambiguity, making tradeoffs, and prioritizing in fluid environments.
- Translating technical or strategic sustainability topics into operational programs.
- Creating systems and processes that improve team delivery on emergent priorities.

You are motivated to contribute to climate action and to shape the systems that enable it within a global firm.

Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree or equivalent in business, public policy, or related fields preferred.
- Familiarity with sustainability and climate topics is a plus but not a prerequisite; the ability to ramp up quickly and apply core problem-solving skills is more important.
