What You'll Do

As a member of BCG’s Content Studio, the Editorial Senior Manager—Practice Areas (PAs) will help execute the content programs of a portfolio of practice areas, ensuring the development and publication of market-leading, brand-defining thought leadership and commercially oriented content on topics that are top of mind for business leaders and the media.

 

In partnership with an Editorial Director, who oversees content pipeline strategy (and to whom the Editorial Senior Manager reports), the Editorial Senior Manager will play a hands-on role with content projects: assessing content submissions from PAs, setting projects up for successful editorial collaborations, managing publication timelines, troubleshooting, collaborating with writers and editors, and serving as editor on high-priority projects.

 

Strong editorial skills across written, visual, and multimedia formats are fundamental. The Editorial Senior Manager will provide input on outlines and drafts with the goal of upholding BCG’s quality standards while ensuring efficient writing and editing processes. Strong skills related to the use of AI in content development are also essential. The Editorial Senior Manager will use AI in all aspects of content work and will contribute to the Content Studio’s continued innovation in this field.

The Editorial Senior Manager will build relationships within the Content Studio, across PA marketing teams, in the wider Marketing & Communications function, with our freelance writing and editing pool, and among senior stakeholders of the firm, becoming a go-to person for content development and execution guidance. This role demands creative problem solving, strategic thinking, outstanding communication skills, superb editorial judgment, and a data-driven mindset.
