What You'll Do

At BCG Platinion, we’re looking for passionate, creative, and pragmatic technology consultants who help the world’s leading investors and technology companies unlock digital value through product and tech excellence.

The Tech in PIPE (Principal Investors and Private Equity) Ringfence is BCG’s specialised team, focusing on supporting the world’s leading Private Equity investors with their most complex technology questions and challenges across all phases of the deal lifecycle.

Meaningful work is at the core of everything we do. We build unique solutions to the complexities our clients face, while providing our people with opportunities to explore and grow. A community of leading experts, BCG Platinion team members have a natural springboard for professional growth and deeper opportunities to excel.

As an IT Consultant in our Tech-in-Private-Equity (PIPE) team, you will work closely with our Principal Investors & Private Equity Practice Area (PIPE). You will focus on helping the world’s largest private equity funds and portfolio companies address their most strategic technology challenges and understand how software, data, and AI capabilities drive value creation across the deal lifecycle.

You’ll engage directly with investment professionals, CTOs, CPOs, and BCG experts to address strategic product and technology questions in both pre-deal and post-deal contexts.

Pre-deal: Product & Tech Due Diligence

• You’ll help assess the strength, scalability, and differentiation of a target’s product and technology platform.

Post-deal: Product-Led Value Creation

• You’ll support portfolio leadership teams in defining and executing value creation plans focused on product innovation and technology modernization.

You’ll work side by side with BCG case teams and industry experts, contributing your technical insight and strategic thinking to unlock value through technology.

We differentiate ourselves from the competition through bringing real-world technology experts to determine deal and commercial implications. Our team includes experienced technologists such as former CTOs/CDOs, full stack developers, former CISOs, Digital Product Owners, and AI/ML researchers.

We’re looking for exceptional talent to join the team. You will typically have:

• 3–5 years’ experience in technology strategy, product management, software engineering, or digital transformation with a background in consulting.
• Private equity experience / M&A experience is highly desirable but not essential; training and guidance can be provided for the right candidate with strong interest.
• Strategic thinking with a basic understanding of software product economics, IT/technology financials, and how these impact deal value; ability to work creatively and analytically in a problem-solving environment.
• Outstanding analytical and conceptual skills, strong customer focus, mental agility, and results orientation.
• Solid understanding of modern software product development, including architecture, APIs/microservices, cloud platforms, and DevOps.
• Exposure to product management, roadmap planning, and agile delivery practices.
• Familiarity with data and AI/ML technologies, including how they enable product differentiation and business scalability.
• Ability to work under pressure and willingness to travel to clients worldwide.
• Ability to propose innovative ideas, build empathy within the firm, and win the trust of clients.
• University degree in a STEM-related field or business management; advanced degrees (MBA, MSc) are advantageous.
