Cross-office Staffing
No matter how many BCG offices there are around the world, we remain united as one company. Our response to client needs is met with exceptional talent that may come from one office or many. Situations can periodically arise where client needs can best be met by drawing on talent from BCG offices around the world. Your expertise, experience, and know-how may offer you the chance to work on a short-term basis as part of an international team in a BCG office in another country.
International Programs for Associates and Consultants
Our Associate Abroad and Ambassador Programs are exciting opportunities offered to outstanding performers who have been with the company for the requisite period of time (9 to 12 months for associates; 12 to 24 months for consultants). If you are eligible for the program, you can nominate the offices in which you would like to work, and we will do our best to find a place for you in one of them.
As an Associate Abroad or Ambassador, you will be fully integrated into your host office, gaining valuable insights into the way business is done in a different environment, developing your international skills, experiencing new cultures, and building strong networks of BCG friends and colleagues from around the world.
Transfers between Offices
There may come a time when you seek-for personal or business reasons-to transfer from one BCG office to another. This could involve a move to another office in the same country or to an office abroad. In these circumstances, we make every effort to accommodate your needs, consistent with the needs of our clients and the business.
Client Ambassador
The Client Ambassador program offers you the chance to work at a BCG client, to understand what it is like "on the other side of the table." Typically, the assignment lasts 9 to 12 months, and it could be inside or outside your home-office country. You can take on a range of roles in client businesses while at the same time maintaining your links with BCG colleagues and drawing on BCG for support.
Social Impact Secondments
BCG secondees have worked with organizations including the United Nations World Food Programme, Save the Children, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on projects focusing on hunger and global health. We have also participated in the World Economic Forum.
As a Social Impact Secondee, you typically spend 6 to 12 months working in a social-sector organization, allowing you to contribute in a meaningful way to vital humanitarian programs and giving nonprofit organizations the chance to fill important jobs for which they lack appropriately skilled personnel. You will be able to expand your own perspective while helping to meet tangible, critical goals for those most in need. As a Social Impact Secondee, you will maintain your links with BCG, no matter where in the world you are working.
Beyond the Social Impact Secondment Program, BCG will also help you find opportunities to work with other nonprofit organizations on a leave-of-absence basis.
