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 FRWD, Bain & Company’s marketing acceleration capability and a 200-person community of expert practitioners who partner with clients and their agencies to drive meaningful business results and transformation.

Our team brings together practitioners from leading in-house marketing organizations, agencies, and technology platforms. We combine hands-on marketplace expertise with data-driven insights to help clients understand not only what to do and why, but also how to make change happen.

Our work focuses on solving some of Bain clients’ toughest marketing challenges, including:

• Marketing diagnostics: Develop a data-driven perspective on a company’s, brand’s, or asset’s marketing performance and identify prioritized opportunities to create value.
• Marketing acceleration: Help clients drive transformational change, develop new capabilities, and establish ways of working that create sustainable competitive advantage.
• E-commerce acceleration: Improve operational value capture across key commerce channels, including third-party retailers and direct-to-consumer channels.
• Operating model: Help clients set up their marketing organizations for success, including marketing technology and data strategy, capabilities, and ways of working.
• Due diligence: Partner with private equity clients to assess the marketing capabilities of target assets and help develop value creation plans.

You’ll work closely with client teams and cross-functional colleagues from across Bain, using hands-on platform experience, data, and analysis to generate insights and contribute to broader case results. You’ll help clients understand the impact of marketing technology decisions, connect marketing insights to broader business goals, and translate your expertise into practical recommendations.
