What You'll Do

Thanks to digital advances, companies know more about the intentions of their customers than ever before. CCI Experts help our clients capitalize on this opportunity by utilizing customer data to unlock differentiated insight, and leveraging it to drive business strategy, operational improvements and product & service innovations.

Customer Insight Experts work seamlessly with clients and consulting team members to discover unique sources of value and translate project findings into actionable recommendations. In this role, you will conduct consumer research and synthesize insights to help clients address their biggest challenges and execute their business in new ways that deliver competitive advantage and bottom-line results.

CCI experts play a critical role in helping insight projects succeed, managing consumer research efforts and communicating findings to clients. Assignments vary greatly-ranging from drafting surveys to inform the investment thesis for a corporate client looking at an acquisition in a new market, to developing, executing and analyzing qualitative and quantitative research to inform a Brand Repositioning or Innovation effort.

You will develop state of the art tools, working hand in hand with BCG's Consumer Knowledge Team staff. You will play a role in the growth of CCI through case execution, client development, and intellectual property & product creation.

• Vendor Management

You will advise BCG's project teams on how to best select and manage external research vendors and help the broader CCI Operations team continuously validate/improve external relationships.
