In this role, you will develop a broad understanding of the New York office, including its role within BCG as well as the broader business community, unique challenges and opportunities faced, and scope of day-to-day operations across functions. You will leverage this understanding to support delivery of the office strategy at the direction of the office Leadership Team and in coordination with the NYC Events Team, including but not limited to:
Supporting the Office Leadership Team in reviewing and refining our people and affiliation strategy for the New York office, including leadership on topics related to DEI network affiliation and support and cohort-specific initiatives (e.g., Cohort Councils, cohort affiliation activities etc.)
Leading analysis of office performance data, including review of annual People Survey results, office attendance and space utilization data (in conjunction with the NYC Operations Director) and commercial performance data (in conjunction with Finance)
Executing office strategy and approach toward "Seat at the Table" (SATT) opportunities, ensuring office leaders, MDPs and other staff are focused effectively on strengthening the office's connection to key industry groups and the broader business community
Engaging with NAMR Marketing and Alumni leaders alongside NY Office Leadership and the NYC Events team to coordinate planning and execution of flagship level events in service of NYC commercial and SATT objectives
Creating and improving office communications to ensure communications are in service of overall office strategy and to optimize the connection and feedback loop between office leaders and staff; this includes but is not limited to working with the Leadership Team on creation of meeting agendas, presentation materials, and arranging speakers for various events (e.g., all-staff and MDP meetings, and other events) facilitation of working team meetings, drafting office leadership communications, and maintaining the digital signage approach for the office

The Engagement & Special Projects Senior Manager/Director will also flex to meet the ad-hoc, everyday needs of the office, providing leverage to the Leadership Team to enable their sharpened focus on high priority items. This may include coverage of roles within the People or Operations teams in the event of leaves or outages to maintain sufficient leverage for members of the Leadership Team. Perhaps most importantly, the Engagement & Special Projects Senior Manager/Director will serve as another set of eyes for office leadership, taking a unique, "bird's-eye view" perspective to look across siloed office activities and identify and coordinate across gaps and opportunities.

In this role, the Engagement & Special Projects Senior Manager/Director will need to work effectively with senior members of the Consulting and BST staff in the New York office as an integral part of the office Leadership Team who is able to independently run with initiatives on behalf of that same team.
