Overview
As a Senior Manager, Sustainability within BCG’s Global Internal Sustainability Team, you will lead some of the most critical cross-functional sustainability initiatives that sit 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 be responsible for shaping, executing, and delivering priority programs in fast-moving and often ambiguous spaces. Your work will evolve based on emerging sustainability topics and business needs.
Key areas of responsibility:
- Program design & delivery: Structure and lead multi-workstream sustainability projects with strategic and operational complexity.
- Cross-functional coordination: Work 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 topics such as internal carbon pricing, ESG governance, SAF and removals strategy, or internal behavior change campaigns.
