Administrative Assistant - German Speaker

Who We Are

Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help 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.

What You'll Do

In 2024 BCG opened a new Capability Centre in Lisbon. The Centre is a dynamic and collaborative environment bringing together a diverse range of Business Services Teams supporting and partnering with our BCG colleagues across the region and beyond.

We are looking for a driven Administrative Assistant (AA) to join our vibrant growing team. Whether coordinating appointments, booking business trips, organising meetings, or communicating with clients, you hold the reins and support from Lisbon to your stakeholders across Germany. Your role provides proactive support to senior BCG Consulting and Business Services Team leaders with internal/external commitments in a fast-paced and dynamic client service environment. You'll work with lots of other friendly Administrative Assistants as part of a fantastic team. Our onsite Team Managers take care of the all Administrative Assistants' needs and ensures that everything runs smoothly and everyone is happy.

Administrative Assistants are an essential part of our local offices and BCG fabric. This is an exciting opportunity to take on more responsibility, wear many hats, and shape the culture and team for the new office. A successful AA has a "can do" mentality, is flexible, and is eager to build strong connections across teams as our office footprint grows.

You will grow throughout your career at BCG, building and improving your skills to match the evolving needs of our firm, our leaders, and our clients. You will have the opportunity to define your career path based on the intersection of your skills, desires, and the ever-evolving needs of the business.

You're Good At:

• Your excellent communication and teaming skills and competent, professional conduct toward clients and coworkers make you a standout.
• Your work style is independent and structured, as are your strong organization skills and service mentality.
• You would describe yourself as talented in coordination and improvisation, and you have an integrative personality with good conflict resolution skills.
• Strong motivation, flexibility, and commitment are as much a part of your character as absolute trustworthiness, discretion, and a sense of responsibility.

What You'll Bring

• You have successfully completed commercial training, ideally in office management or the upscale hotel/service industry.
• You have gained some practical experience as a secretary or assistant or in a similar position.
• You work proficiently in MS Office programs, especially Outlook.
• Very good written and spoken German and English language skills complete your profile.

Who You'll Work With

You'll be part of a diverse, dynamic team, whose members will not only make sure you get a good start in Lisbon, but to whom you can always turn for advice, information, and support.
