WHAT YOU'LL DO

BCG’s Global IT UX Center of Expertise (Co E) is seeking a co-op interested in pursuing a UX design or research career. You’ll be part of the team responsible for driving BCG’s internal products and service offering. You will have the opportunity to learn and grow as a UX generalist in both design and research. You will receive on-the-job learning, guidance from industry experts, and formal training opportunities as you work on a range of projects that support our UX initiatives. You’ll be responsible for research and analysis of user needs and sentiment, designing and testing prototypes and concepts, and contribute to cross-product UX and service frameworks that will define a consistent user experience across the business.
We’re looking for candidates who can demonstrate strong skills and relevant experience in:

• Understanding of iterative design methods and processes that follow Lean UX and Design Thinking approaches, testing hypotheses, concepts, and prototypes with our users
  

• Executing various research methods (e.g., user interviews, contextual inquiry, ethnographic study, and usability testing) and selecting the appropriate methodology to best understand user needs
  

• Analyzing UX research data to create meaningful and actionable insights that address our employees’ needs, behaviors, expectations, and pain points
  

• Creating UX outputs such as user journey maps, service maps, wireframes, prototypes, and user requirements that help you understand and define end-to-end UX
  

• Working collaboratively with stakeholders across teams, disciplines, and regions to ensure that we approach our problem-solving with the necessary diversity of thought
  

• Presenting your work and defending your decisions clearly, both verbally and visually
  
  

YOU'RE GOOD AT

• 
  Curious – You have a hunger to learn and understand people, their behaviors, and how/why they make decisions
  

• Pragmatic – You understand the necessary constraints of UX at scale but find creative and effective ways to accomplish tasks
  

• Flexible – You are able to adapt to changing requirements as projects demand
  

• Adept – You can learn quickly at sufficient depth to solve complex problems
  

• Collaborative – You embrace teamwork and seek multiple perspectives to arrive at the best outcomes
  

• Autonomous – You work independently on specific tasks with some direction
  

• Analytical – You can solve complex problems by working logically to prioritize and organize the chaos into structured information, find trends, and form actionable insights
  

• Outcome-oriented - You understand that design and research is a means to a measurable outcome, rather than an end in itself
