Administrative Assistants are expected to grow throughout their careers at BCG, building and improving their skills to match the evolving needs of our firm, our leaders, and our clients. You will have the opportunity to define your career path based on the intersection of your skills, desires, and the ever-evolving needs of the business.
YOU'RE GOOD AT
Providing proactive support to senior BCG CT and BST leaders with internal/external commitments in a fast-paced and dynamic client service environment. Your primary responsibilities are as follows; however, some days will be more administrative-focused than others:
Organizing and scheduling (and re-scheduling) client/internal meetings and events with an understanding of business priorities - proactively managing extremely complex calendars
Anticipating and coordinating point-to-point travel needs as necessary, including booking (and unbooking) hotels and transportation
Processing timesheets and expenses on a timely basis
Proactively anticipating and solving problems before they arise
Maintaining confidentiality - you will be privy to sensitive information

Proactively leaning in to support high-leverage activities for executives and their case teams (this will vary by your stakeholders' needs):
Actively supporting business development efforts
Conducting research and gathering information to help problem solve questions
Assisting with the preparation and proofreading of client team materials, including slides, proposals, and onboarding decks
Anything else you (or your stakeholder) determine necessary - we encourage you to be creative and think outside the box
Acting as a thought partner and trusted advisor to your stakeholders' teams
Making sure your stakeholders know the information they need to know to best set them up for success with their external and internal (BCG) clients
Enabling your stakeholders to make the best use of their time
Taking initiative to proactively bring to-dos or priorities "from the back burner to the front burner" for your stakeholders

Building effective working relationships with your key stakeholders and your peers as you work together to get things done. This will be crucial to your success in your career at BCG.
Partnering closely with other AAs in your network to build deep relationships and progress scheduling for complex meetings and events. Many of your peers will be supporting stakeholders who may work closely with your stakeholders
Building relationships across the office with other internal teams (e.g., HR, IT, Office Services) as our footprint grows
