WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

Bain has formalized industry and capability “Practices” that are integral to how Bain wins and delivers results to its clients. Together they form our Product, Practice, and Knowledge ("PPK") team. The role of a Practice is to drive growth for Bain in a particular industry or capability together with offices, and boost Bain’s expertise and commercial excellence.

Financial Services (FS) is Bain’s Practice responsible for developing intellectual property and commercializing Bain’s approach to strategy, transformation, and operations across multiple sectors in this space, including Banking, Insurance, Wealth and Asset Management, Payments. 

The Financial Services practice works closely with Bain’s capability practices (e.g. strategy, performance improvement, Vector) to bring the best of Bain to our clients. Vector encompasses Bain’s technology and data/analytic capabilities (including Artificial Intelligence).

WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM 

The Practice Consultant is a critical member of our Americas Financial Services Practice team — based in Mexico City and partnering directly with the Practice Senior Manager and Regional Practice Leader across a remit that spans North America and Latin America. Our practice is in the middle of an ambitious transformation: scaling Banking, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management, and Payments against a significant growth agenda, while building marquee programs like our Financial Services AI Summits that shape how the industry navigates agentic AI, risk, and the next wave of digital transformation.

This is a role with real surface area. You will sit at the center of how the Americas FS Practice operates — supporting senior partners, shaping practice strategy, and owning content for our highest-visibility external moments. You will be expected to bring judgment and a point of view from day one, not just executional polish.

• Track and accelerate interlock execution with capability practices (especially Vector); contribute to interlock content where you have the angle to add value
• Own sales collateral on priority IP — what’s needed to be competitive in market, who the promoters are, and how content evolves with client demand
• Support proposals and casework in your areas of expertise as bandwidth allows
• Talent strategy
• Maintain the single source of truth on our Americas FS talent pipeline — including hires, transfers, new affiliates, and movement across NA and LatAm
• Support affiliate engagement across both regions: shaping agendas for regional calls and trainings, coordinating facilitators, and helping build a connected practice culture across geographies and languages
• Contribute input to the PSM/RPL on affiliate performance during the HLA process; gather and synthesize input from sector teams

Marketing & brand building
