The Partner Services Group (PSG) is a global, high-impact team within BCG’s Finance function that is responsible for the design, development, and execution of world-class evaluation, development, compensation, and equity programs for our 2,000 Managing Directors and Partners (MDPs). These programs are not only critical to BCG’s business performance but are also personally significant to our senior leadership.

MDPs are the owners of BCG and are entrusted with driving our business across markets and practice areas. Robust and transparent evaluation and reward mechanisms are essential to supporting BCG’s mission of unlocking the potential of those who advance the world.

Operating in a fast-paced environment, PSG is known for its precision, innovation, and transparent communication. We are a highly visible and trusted team that plays a vital role in ensuring BCG continues to be an employer of choice for the world’s most talented and pioneering leaders in consulting.

What You'll Do

As custodians of the global MDP framework, PSG ensures that:

MDPs understand and are inspired by the broader value proposition, beyond compensation and equityThere is strong trust and confidence in the Compensation & Equity (C&E) framework and its outcomesMDP behavior is positively influenced through a clear understanding of how the framework reflects their contributions, decisions, and impact

We’re looking for a strategic and solution-oriented senior Financial Analyst to help reimagine how we reward, retain and incentivize our MDPs with regard to their long-term capital vehicle (LTCV). The LTCV is BCG’s working capital and having an understanding of capital structures (debt, equity) is valuable. This role will report into the Head of Program Analysis (Roberto Sestito, PSG Director).

In this role, you will develop a deep understanding of the current MDP C&E framework and specifically LTCV and the programs that exist today. You will drive the financial modeling and scenario analysis needed to transition from legacy approaches to a more harmonized model – within the context of a privately held global consulting firm. Success in this role requires the ability to understand archetypes, apply logical frameworks and optimize models to achieve desired outcomes.

for the future and engage in implementation and change management planning to bring transformation to life.
