Boston Consulting Group | Graduate Associate – Consulting careers (Maths & Data)

Interested in Consulting?

Applications to join BCG as a Graduate Associate are now open! We look for self-motivated, curious students or recent graduates who are excited by problem-solving and want to have a positive impact on their communities, whether local, national, or global. We recruit from a diverse range of degrees including music, arts, philosophy, science, mathematics, medicine, law, politics, commerce, engineering and more!  No matter what you studied at university, our diverse project teams at BCG work across a range of industries and your theoretical learnings from your Maths, Statistics or Data degree will be utilised at BCG.

As a graduate at BCG, you will be tackling the toughest challenges, benefiting from accelerated learning that serves you for a lifetime, and working with a caring, diverse, and inclusive community of exceptional people.

Thoughts from Matthew, a Maths graduate:

“BCG appealed to me because of the opportunities it gives you to tackle challenging and fascinating problems from early in your career. Coming from a background in Mathematics and Statistics, I found myself curious about alternate career paths to data science or research that would give me greater leverage to create impact. BCG has surprised me in this regard. Even as a junior member of a team, you are given substantial responsibility and ownership to steer your component of the project. My background in Mathematics has been handy on many occasions, particularly when the project requires detailed analysis that can't be handled entirely within Excel.”

About BCG 

 At BCG, your talents are just the beginning of a truly transformative experience. As a member of our business strategy consulting team, you will have the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally while working alongside some of the most inspiring, talented and supportive people in the consulting industry. Our dynamic and high-performance environment provides the perfect space for you to develop your skills and make a real impact on the world's leading businesses.  

When you graduate, the world presents so many dynamic, complex problems that you could tackle, for instance

• How could one of Australia’s largest non-profits disrupt the traditional philanthropy model it relies on before its competitors do? 
• How might a leading development bank, which has traditionally focused on poverty reduction, support emerging economies to transition to clean energy?
• How could a government department provide a critical national service response to a perfect storm: rising demand, increased and rapidly evolving risks, higher costs and declining funding?

You will also have the chance to work on the most complex strategic and operational questions and help shape the future of many companies. By joining BCG, you will be able to make a difference, at both BCG and beyond. 

Application Criteria 

Each application should include your resume, cover letter, and academic transcripts.

We are looking for people who demonstrate passion, impact, and high levels of commitment, initiative, and responsibility. 
• Any achievements that make you proud. We understand that achievements are contextual to your environment, but we’d love to hear what yours are!
