WHAT MAKES US A GREAT PLACE TO WORK

We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the world’s best places to work. We are currently the top ranked consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list and have earned the #1 overall spot a record seven times. Extraordinary teams are at the heart of our business strategy, but these don’t happen by chance. They require intentional focus on bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, perspectives, and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hire people with exceptional talent and create an environment in which every individual can thrive professionally and personally.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You’ll join the Global Partner Analytics & Talent (GPAT) team, which supports Bain’s Worldwide Promotion Committee and leads the global partner assessment processes across all Bain regions, offices, and practices.

The team also drives critical analytical and strategic initiatives for Bain’s Worldwide Managing Partner, Regional Managing Partners, Chief Leadership Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and Board of Directors.

Partners are the most senior members of Bain’s consulting staff and play a vital role in the firm’s success through client leadership, business development, mentorship, and internal leadership. In this role, you will work closely with senior leaders across the firm and contribute to decisions that shape Bain’s future leadership.

WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM

Reporting to the Senior Manager, you will be a key member of the Analytics team, delivering data-driven insights, financial analysis, and scalable reporting solutions to senior stakeholders across Bain’s global leadership.

This role combines financial analysis, business intelligence, and data transformation with a strong emphasis on Tableau dashboard development, Alteryx workflows, and advanced analytics. You will help modernize and automate reporting processes that support critical decisions related to partner performance, compensation, and promotion.

Success in this role requires strong analytical capabilities, sound business judgment, and the ability to transform complex and highly confidential data into clear, actionable insights for executive audiences.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Develop analyses, dashboards, and presentation materials that communicate financial and operational insights to senior leadership.
  • Identify trends, risks, and opportunities, evaluate alternatives, and recommend solutions to support business decision-making.
  • Drive operational, reporting, and performance improvement initiatives through data analysis and automation.
  • Compile and analyze financial information across clients, regions, and business areas to support leadership decisions.
  • Lead financial analysis supporting Bain’s global partner compensation process.
  • Partner with senior finance leaders to analyze trends, monitor management metrics, and develop recommendations.
  • Support Bain’s Partner Assessment System (PAS) by preparing datasets, analyses, and reporting outputs.
  • Analyze promotion candidate performance metrics to support globally consistent evaluation processes.
  • Build and maintain analytical models, dashboards, and reporting solutions using Excel, Tableau, and Alteryx.
  • Research and respond to requests from office leaders, committee members, and finance stakeholders.
  • Support the migration of reporting processes from Excel-based solutions and Alteryx workflows into scalable Tableau dashboards.
  • Contribute to special projects and strategic initiatives as needed.

  • Advanced Excel skills, including financial modeling, data aggregation, and complex analytical workflows.
  • Hands-on experience developing Tableau dashboards and data visualizations.
  • Experience using Alteryx for data preparation, workflow automation, and process optimization.
  • Experience working with large, complex datasets from multiple sources.
  • Strong organizational, project management, and prioritization skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present findings to senior stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage highly confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
