Description & Requirements

WHAT MAKES US A GREAT PLACE TO WORK


We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the world’s best places to work. We are currently the #1 ranked consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list and have maintained a spot in the top four on Glassdoor’s list since its founding in 2009.

Extraordinary teams are at the heart of our business strategy, but these don’t happen by chance. They require intentional focus on bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, perspectives, and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hire people with exceptional talent and create an environment in which every individual can thrive professionally and personally.


WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH


You’ll join our Financial Services (FS) practice, which helps leading companies across banking, insurance, wealth and asset management, and payments tackle their most pressing challenges. The FS practice works hand-in-hand with Bain’s capability practices—including Strategy, Performance Improvement, and Vector (our digital and technology group)—to bring the full power of Bain to our clients. This role will be deeply embedded in the Vector interlock, working at the intersection of financial services and technology.


WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM


You’ll play a key role in supporting the Global Financial Services Practice Leader and the Global Strategy & Operations Leader in advancing our growth priorities—particularly within our Vector capability. This is an exciting opportunity to shape strategic direction, manage global operations, and directly support the development and commercialization of innovative FS IP.


WHAT YOU’LL DO


You’ll focus on two core areas:
FS Vector IP & Product Development (60%)

  • Shape and manage the IP roadmap for FS Vector

  • Lead selected IP development efforts, managing content teams across global resources

  • Collaborate closely with interlock champions and FS leaders to support client development

  • Guide proposal creation and provide hands-on support to case teams

  • Own and enhance sales collateral, working to ensure materials are competitive and compelling

  • Deliver coaching and training to senior managers and associate partners

Practice Operations (40%)

  • Support strategic planning and progress tracking for the global FS practice

  • Drive coordination across FS and Vector interlock leaders

  • Motivate and mentor team members

We're looking for someone who brings a mix of consulting experience, business insight, and a passion for innovation at the intersection of FS and technology. The ideal candidate will have:


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree (Master’s or MBA preferred)

  • Either:

    • Recent Bain consulting experience at the Consultant level

    • Or 5–8 years (with BA) / 4–5 years (with MBA) in relevant roles such as:

      • Product management

      • Enterprise technology transformation

      • Data engineering and analytics

      • Digital or AI solution development

      • Complex business research and analysis


You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

  • Collaborative and service-oriented

  • Entrepreneurial and proactive with a “roll-up-your-sleeves” approach

  • Insightful and pragmatic, with strong problem-solving skills

  • A strong communicator—engaging, articulate, and executive-ready

  • Naturally energetic and skilled at building internal and external relationships

  • A motivating leader who develops high-performing teams

  • Fun, team-spirited, and passionate about making an impact
