The Corporate Finance & Strategy Practice (CFS) is BCG's largest practice and combines rich expertise in corporate strategy concepts with a management methodology designed to create sustainable value for BCG clients. Our business is composed of three major businesses (Strategy, Corporate Finance and Transaction & Integration). We deliver strategic and analytic approaches that allow senior management to effectively deal with challenges such as generating growth, innovating companies, managing a portfolio of assets, forming a world-class finance organization, understanding risk, and responding to the way capital markets assess companies today. Effectively carrying out corporate transactions end-to-end, from portfolio decision to operational separation or from identifying an M&A target to integration, is also part of our offering.
The candidate will partner with client teams to help our clients in developing corporate strategies, shape business portfolios, and evaluate strategic options, thereby providing robust insights to top global organizations. This position demands a data-driven approach to assessing strategic and financial health of the business, evaluating company performance, benchmarking competition, and conducting comprehensive market assessments to produce thorough strategic plans and recommendations. The candidate must be proficient in various types of analyses at each stage of the strategy cycle and possess advanced analytical skills to interpret complex data and generate actionable, insightful strategies.
Additionally, the candidate will work closely with Strategy topic experts and leaders to turn case learnings into products and generate new insights on key topics including Corporate & Portfolio Strategy, Growth Strategy, and Innovation. Key responsibilities include developing and updating knowledge materials, assets, tools, and publications shaped by emerging trends, market feedback, and gaps identified by consulting teams and topic leadership.
