September 26, 2026

WHAT MAKES US A GREAT PLACE TO WORKWe 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 WITHYou'll be a core member of Bain's Martech team, partnering closely with marketing stakeholders across all functions. You'll also work directly with technology and engineering teams, external implementation partners, and platform vendors. Day to day, you'll act as a deeply embedded co-pilot to the MarTech Director, helping translate strategy into executable plans, keeping initiatives on track, and ensuring that what gets built sees its full potential. As agentic workflows mature, there is also an opportunity to grow into product management across agents. WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM Marketing technology is evolving quickly, and so is the way Bain's marketing organization works. We're actively building toward an AI-augmented operating model, bringing agentic tools into how we get the right content in front of the right people. This role sits at the center of that work: a product-minded partner who helps new technology initiatives land well and continuously shapes how marketing gets done. You'll work directly alongside the Director, MarTech Strategy & Product Ownership, embedded in a function that touches every part of Bain's global marketing organization. The work is project-based by nature, moving across platforms, initiatives, and teams, applying product thinking and marketing strategy wherever the next build is happening. WHAT YOU’LL DOSitting at the intersection of marketing, product, and technology, you'll help Bain's marketing organization navigate a period of meaningful transformation. The specific initiatives will evolve, but the through-line is consistent: take complex technology builds and make them successful.
