WHAT YOU'LL DO

We are looking for a driven Administrative Assistant who can work with limited direction to provide administrative support and act as a thought partner to Partners and Principals in their work with clients and internal functions. Although you will need to be a master of tasks, we need thinkers and expect you to go beyond transactional support. The role and experience will vary depending on the Partners and Principals being supported and their needs.

While the Partners, Principals, Project Leaders (PL’s), and consultants spend most of their time at the client site, back here at home base (aka the Nexus office), you will be surrounded by a group of really smart, team-oriented, fun and laughter loving people. We work hard, play hard, and go out of our way to support each other.

Administrative Assistants are expected to grow throughout their careers, building and improving their skills to match the evolving needs of BCG and our clients. We won't define a career path for you – your career will be at the intersection of your skills and desires and the needs of our business; it will only be limited by your investment.

Administrative Assistants are an essential part of the office and BCG fabric. They actively participate in office life, are flexible and willing to help fellow Business Services Team (BST) members, and collaborate across functions. We are all each other’s clients.

  • Processing timesheets and expenses on a timely basis

  • Providing backup support to other executives when needed

  • Solving problems before anyone knows they exist
