Who We Are Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. Founded in 1963, BCG pioneered business strategy and today helps 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.

Practice Area The Operations Practice (OPS) Area is one of BCG’s largest functional practices. We help our clients create competitive advantage by enhancing their performance and building strategic capabilities. BCG’s expertise in Operations covers supply chain management, procurement, manufacturing, service operations, cost efficiency, operational transformation, research & product development, program and project management, all with a strong digital and analytics overlay.

What You’ll Do BCG Procurement is expanding rapidly as we continue to strengthen our global leadership in Procurement and GenAI. We are seeing unprecedented demand for our expertise and digital solutions, driven by the acceleration of AI‑enabled procurement transformation across industries. To support this momentum, we are growing our Southeast Asia (SEA) team and seek exceptional individuals who bring strengths in procurement, supply chain, and AI/digital product development.

The role is a hybrid between procurement expertise and hands‑on GenAI solution development. While based in SEA, it has global impact—GenAI agents, use cases, and products you build will be deployed across North America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia, shaping how BCG advances procurement innovation worldwide.

Role In this role you will spearhead the development and deployment of next‑generation Procurement GenAI solutions across the region. You will dedicate:

50% to conceptualising, designing, building, and scaling Procurement GenAI / Agentic AI agents and use‑cases

50% to delivering client service with focus on savings & value creation, category insights, operating model, and holistic procurement transformation

You will help clients reinvent procurement with digital and GenAI capabilities, unlocking step‑change value, greater resilience, sustainability impact, and innovation across their value chains. This role is ideal for a procurement expert who is also technically hands‑on, able to translate functional needs into robust GenAI products, and able to identify high‑impact use cases through deep domain expertise.

Our Expert Consulting Track The Expert Consulting Track (ECT) is vital to BCG’s ability to successfully meet our clients’ demand for deep expertise and advanced technical capabilities. Experts deliver next‑level impact for BCG’s most complex and cutting‑edge client challenges. Experts focus on developing BCG’s thought leadership, commercial capabilities, and intellectual property assets; and their work is essential to our delivery model. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, we bring the best of BCG to our clients. Experts come from diverse backgrounds, with expertise often gained outside of BCG in industry, academia, or specialized consulting.
