What You'll Do

As the IT Workplace Technology Senior Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of BCG’s workplace technology stack across office build-outs, relocations, and upgrades, ensuring the effective selection, implementation, and integration of established IT, audiovisual, and smart workplace solutions. You will own the end-to-end delivery of workplace technology for assigned projects or workstreams, working within agreed global standards and program governance.

A significant part of the role involves design coordination to ensure IT, AV, and smart office solutions align with the broader office design and construction process. You will manage the engagement with external AV and IT design firms and coordinate closely with architectural, MEP, interior, lighting, acoustic, and furniture designers—often within structured design frameworks (e.g., RIBA stages)—to ensure workplace technology requirements are integrated into the overall design.

This is a high-impact delivery role requiring strong project leadership, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills. You will act as a key workplace technology contact for your projects, partnering with local office teams and global stakeholders to drive alignment, manage trade-offs, and keep delivery on track. You will communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences, proactively manage risks and dependencies, and escalate effectively where decisions or conflicts require senior input. Over time, you will deepen your expertise in workplace technology delivery and contribute to the continuous improvement of standards, templates, and delivery practices.

While this is not a product development role, we expect a forward-looking mindset: using AI-enabled tools to improve day-to-day delivery, making user experience a consistent priority, and partnering with product teams by sharing project learnings to influence future enhancements and support continuous innovation.

As a long-term expert-in-role, you will continuously refine your expertise in IT and workplace technology, shaping the way BCG offices evolve worldwide.
