What You'll Do

BCG's 2030 strategy is built on building the most AI-fluent workforce in the world — and the quality of the learning experiences that get people there is what makes that ambition real. Join us to pioneer AI-powered learning experiences that scale, personalize, and transform how our people grow. As Learning Experience Design Senior Manager, you will be part of a rapid response team, working at the execution layer where strategy becomes tangible learning. You will translate strategic direction into concrete, high-quality learning experiences that reflect both the latest in learning science and the possibilities of AI — bringing BCG-specific context, instructional rigor, and hands-on design craft to every solution.

Your day-to-day spans the full design cycle. You will design and deliver firm-wide learning campaigns — integrating learning in the flow of work, agentic experiences, digital learning, and live events into coherent, measurable journeys. You will apply AI tools and techniques to develop innovative learning solutions, automate design workflows, and prototype intelligent agents that personalize and scale our learning offerings. You will bring learning and development best practices into everything you build — ensuring solutions are not just technically capable but grounded in how people learn and change behavior. You will collaborate closely with engineers, product teams, data analysts, learning architects, and fellow learning designers to test hypotheses, uncover insights, and co-develop solutions that drive measurable learning and business outcomes in a fast-moving environment.

• Partner with rapid response team colleagues, SMEs, other internal teams to select most appropriate process, structure, technology, and delivery formats depending on identified learning goals
• Distil complex topics into learner-friendly formats using storytelling, real-world scenarios, and behaviorally driven design approaches that connect learning directly to how people work. That includes but is not limited to digital and agentic experiences, assessment design, live learning events, performance support
• Curate and contextualize external learning assets while helping build BCG-specific capabilities

Stakeholder management and project management

• Run intake conversations that produce clear problem statements, agreed success metrics, and defined scope
• Partner effectively with senior stakeholders and diverse teams to drive alignment and progress, advocating for learner-centric, high-quality solutions
• Apply structured problem solving and sound judgment to navigate ambiguity and trade-offs
• Communicate clearly and credibly, adapting your message to different audiences and contexts, e.g. explaining learning experience design best practices and rationale to stakeholders
• Adapt to shifting priorities and evolving briefs without losing sight of design quality or learner outcomes with a solution-oriented mindset
• Work successfully within a complex matrixed structured organization to manage relationships and align learning solutions with project teams
• Thrive in ambiguity and approach open-end problems with curiosity, creativity and system-thinking to drive progress

• Strong working knowledge of adult learning theory and learning experience design principles and their application in practice
• Tech-savviness and proficiency in using Digital/AI tools (e.g. Articulate 360, Synthesia, ChatGPT, Claude) to design AI-enabled learning solutions that provide timely, contextual support at key moments of need—seamlessly integrated into daily workflows
