Boston Consulting Group (BCG)
Locations: Lisbon | London
Who We Are
The Global Risk Function’s mission is to proactively detect, manage, and mitigate risks while supporting BCG’s evolving business needs. Global Risk includes seven teams: Compliance, Assurance & Advisory, Enterprise Risk Management, Strategy & Operations, Data Protection, Global Security, and Information Security. Together, we enable the business, manage risk through effective controls, and promote a unified OneRisk approach. We aim to embed a risk-aware mindset across offices, functions, MDPs, and employees.
The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team is a strategic partner in enabling responsible entrepreneurship by identifying, assessing, and managing the firm’s most significant risks. ERM operates under an integrated risk management framework and works closely with business and functional leaders, ensuring risk awareness and resilience across the organization.
