Role & Responsibilities
A Project Leader position is a mark of significant achievement with considerable leadership and performance expectations.
Project Leaders play important roles supporting and executing client service engagements in a variety of roles depending on the specific context. Over time, there is an expectation that their footprint will expand, supporting a broader set of partners across either multiple geographies or Practice Areas (depending on the area of expertise).
The development of their own and BCG's expertise will continue to be a central element of the role and for an individual at this level there is an expectation that their expertise will be recognized by a broad base of partners. They are also expected to be recognized externally and they will continue to build and develop an external network (e.g. client counterparts, other industry or functional experts) in their topic area. PLs are also likely to be working to build external awareness through press and conferences if this fits with their PA's strategy.
