You will help clients prioritise AI value pools, develop business cases and roadmaps, and assess the data, platform, governance, risk and change capabilities required to scale GenAI and agentic solutions responsibly.

You will evaluate technology options and vendor proposals and support decisions balancing value, cost, risk and implementation complexity. Working with architects, engineers, product and AI specialists, you will understand technical implications while staying focused on strategic and transformation questions.

You will support implementation through governance, value tracking, risk management and programme assessment. You will lead client workshops, communicate recommendations, coach junior colleagues and contribute to proposals, client relationships and BCG Platinion's Telco capabilities.
