Our most vital resource is our people. That’s why Human Resources is one of our most vital teams: From recruiting to career development for BCGers, from training and mobility support to staffing (assigning our consultants to client casework), the Human Resources Team plays a decisive role in making BCG not just a company, but a Group in which every employee can become their best.

What You’ll Do

As a Talent (Senior) Specialist, you will be part of our Talent Management Unit (TMU) supporting our consultants on the Associate and Consultant levels. You and your team of Talent Specialists and Talent Junior Specialists will be the central point of contact for our consultants in regard to all HR- and career-related topics—from operational personnel planning (case staffing) to traditional career development—starting from when they join BCG.

In the context of case staffing, you’ll ensure that our Associates and Consultants are optimally assigned to projects, staffing them to best meet client needs and align with their personal career planning.

As a member of the core Career Development Committee (CDC), you’ll be responsible for supporting all CD processes, including preparing and following up on career development meetings and preparing the bonus process and integrating it into the promotion processes of the consultants you support. In doing so, you will work closely with the respective Career Advisors on the committee.

As a Talent (Senior) Specialist, you’ll also act as a central contact for HR inquiries and connect BCGers needing further consultation with the right person in our HR expertise functions, thus performing a key interface function as a navigator within the HR universe at BCG. For each HR topic, you’ll always look for solutions that take both business and people needs into account while keeping in mind the development of our colleagues as a whole and communicating decisions independently, in a calm and empathic manner and with diplomatic skill.

What You’ll Bring

• You have successfully completed a university degree, ideally with a focus on human resources or communication.
• You have 2–5 years of experience in human resources, HR business partnering, or personnel resource planning in a service-oriented, dynamic working environment, preferably in management consulting.
• You are able to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple tasks in parallel.
• Ideally, you already have experience in assessing people potential, enabling you to optimally assign our consultants to suitable client projects and accompany their development in the best possible way.
• You are proficient in MS Office software (especially Excel and PowerPoint) and enjoy working with collaboration tech such as Slack and Trello.
• Your written and spoken English language skills are excellent.
• You have great passion for people issues and enjoy delving into different areas of HR as a generalist.
• You have excellent interpersonal skills and are able to communicate with all levels of management and build and maintain effective relationships with internal and senior stakeholders.
• You have a strong work ethic, are flexible, and remain calm even in stressful situations. A strong service mentality comes naturally to you, and you are independent and self‑motivated.
• Your openness and curiosity help you to familiarize yourself quickly with new topics and to tackle difficult issues pragmatically and efficiently.
• You work independently and know how to best structure and prioritize your tasks while always delivering high quality.
• In addition to possessing absolute integrity, discretion, and a sense of responsibility, you also advance topics proactively.

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll be part of a 15-member team in Munich and Düsseldorf, whose collaboration is characterized by mutual support, regular experience sharing, and strong trust. Integrity is the team’s highest priority. You’ll report directly to the responsible Talent Management Director, who will be there for you during your orientation phase and support you in your professional development. You will also always be able to draw on the experience of your coworkers.
