The AI Factory Product Builder role sits within BCG’s centralized AI Factory and focuses on building AI-enabled products, tools, and delivery assets that scale across the firm. These assets are designed to accelerate delivery, improve quality, and evolve how BCG teams work and support clients. AI Product Builders work closely with front-line consultants, offer teams, and product leadership to identify repeatable challenges and opportunities across BCG’s ways of working. They then design, build, and deploy AI-powered solutions—agents, services, and workflows—that can be adopted broadly across practices, regions, and client contexts. This role blends product thinking, applied AI, and hands-on execution. Success is measured by shipped assets, adoption by consulting teams, and tangible impact on delivery speed and quality.

Responsibilities

• Build AI-enabled products and assets
  • Design, build, and deploy AI-powered tools, agents, and services that support BCG’s consulting offers and delivery processes
  • Translate business and delivery needs into scalable, production-ready solutions
  • Ensure solutions are usable by non-technical consulting teams and aligned with BCG standards
• Improve and reimagine consulting workflows
  • Break down existing consulting and delivery processes to identify opportunities for automation, augmentation, or redesign
  • Experiment with new AI-enabled approaches to improve efficiency, consistency, and quality
  • Rapidly iterate based on feedback, usage data, and evolving needs
• Operate with a product mindset
  • Partner with AI Factory product, platform, and engineering teams on architecture, prioritization, and roadmap decisions
  • Balance speed of experimentation with robustness, security, and maintainability
  • Document patterns, approaches, and best practices to enable reuse and scaling
• Collaborate across the firm
  • Work closely with front-line consultants and offering teams to understand real delivery challenges
  • Act as a connector between product, technology, and consulting perspectives
  • Contribute to capability building and knowledge sharing across the AI Factory and broader BCG community

This role favors doers. It is best suited for people who ship, have a strong bias toward action and experimentation, and enjoy turning ambiguous ideas into concrete, usable products that others rely on.
