Who We Are

Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.

To succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures—and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, generating results that allow our clients to thrive.

What You'll Do

The Partner Services Group (PSG) integrates finance and human resources functions to support BCG's Partnership and individual Managing Directors and Partners (MDPs), the owners of the business. PSG oversees the global framework shaping incentives through the annual performance evaluation process and compensation and equity programs for MDPs worldwide.

You’ll work on a team that provides a wide range of services to our Managing Directors & Partners (MDPs), manages our MDP compensation and equity programs, including overseeing the annual MDP evaluation process and reporting cycle. In addition, the group supports MDP ‘life cycle’ events (e.g., lateral hiring, promotions, departures, and transfers).

As a Compensation Operations Analyst, you will contribute to the delivery and continuous improvement of global compensation programs for MDPs. You will apply strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and sound judgment to support accurate, well-controlled processes. Your responsibilities will include:

- Support of global MDP compensation processes, ensuring accurate and timely execution.
- Maintain compensation models and calculations, including salary and bonus calculations, applying technical knowledge while identifying opportunities to simplify and improve outputs
- Analyze and review compensation data, applying global policies and local considerations, to support recurring operations, identify issues, and contribute to informed decision making
- Prepare clear and accurate compensation statements and workpapers, translating complex data into structured, stakeholder-ready outputs
- Contribute to system and process enhancements by supporting requirements, testing updates, and improving data quality and usability
- Leverage digital and AI-enabled tools to automate routine tasks, validate data, streamline documentation, and accelerate analysis
- Document and refine processes to improve consistency, transparency, and operational efficiency while maintaining appropriate controls

YOU’RE GOOD AT

You develop collaborative working relationships with those you interact with and ask questions to clarify your understanding.

Your curiosity leads you to exploring options and solving problems with automation and digital solutions.

Developing an understanding of the operation and function of the compensation process to navigate and suggest efficiencies is critical for success in the role. Critical thinking skills are key to navigating the most efficient ways to organize a process and collect data required to complete various responsibilities. Growth in the role will be measured by the synergies developed in performing the various processes and improvements you help to implement, including finding new or better ways to use existing tools.
