What You'll Do

BCG is looking for an Expert Consultant to make Pricing a game-changing source of value for clients. The ideal candidate will have strong core analytical skills, and deep content expertise in the areas of pricing strategy, pricing execution, pricing capabilities, and pricing transformation.

Working in our Marketing, Sales, and Pricing (MSP) Practice, you will partner with leading companies to develop and implement best-in-class pricing strategies, and also build capabilities and tools that generate impact for clients.

Pricing has the power to create competitive advantage and spur growth, but not all companies know how to leverage it. Despite an abundance of available data, many companies still approach pricing from a “gut-feeling” perspective. You will help clients identify the right pricing strategy their needs, and develop pricing frameworks that meet and exceed consumer expectations while driving growth and capturing sustainable value.

In this role, you will support the execution of projects for multiple client engagements, bringing Pricing expertise to the team, both on industry-specific issues and with respect to key client questions. You will direct and supervise research activities to obtain relevant data and define client needs and challenges. Working alongside BCG and client project leaders, you will contribute expertise, synthesize recommendations, challenge work in progress, and re-orient analyses as necessary. You will also drive commercial growth by supporting colleagues in their business development activities, originating leads and acting as a key topic content lead for proposals or other business development work in the Pricing space.

You will also build Pricing expertise within BCG, and increase the firm’s external profile by creating new techniques and/or capturing ideas that strengthen our thought leader position, publishing and posting on the topic, and building repeatable toolkits for use by BCG project teams.
