Practice Director, Market and Competitive Insights (Vector)

Join to apply for the Practice Director, Market and Competitive Insights (Vector) role at Bain & Company

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

Over the past two decades, Bain has formalized Industry and Capability areas, internally known as “Practices,” integral to how Bain wins and delivers results for clients. A Practice can be considered a business unit of Bain & Company. While there may be some allocation to client-facing work, a role within a Practice primarily supports our client‑facing partners and case teams to deliver great client and people success stories. Practices define and implement their own strategies and allocate resources to :

• Boost Bain’s knowledge and expertise in the sector or capability
• Prioritize clients and enable client full potential
• Develop partner team and capabilities
• Build the practice’s brand and reputation externally

You’ll join our Product, Practice & Knowledge (PPK) team, a global capability team that supports many of our practices, including our AIS and ET practices (which combined make up our Vector capabilities). Within PPK, the Strategy & Operations team functions as the general management office for the business, and you’ll work closely with Vector leadership to shape growth strategy, ensure operational excellence, and drive commercial performance.

WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM

The Vector Market & Competitive Insights Senior Manager role is a pivotal position responsible for leading Bain’s analyst report responses and competitive intelligence agenda for Vector. You will oversee the end‑to‑end lifecycle of major research and market insight outputs — from scoping and design through analysis, drafting, and dissemination — ensuring they are rigorous, insightful, and commercially impactful.

As Senior Manager, you’ll combine hands‑on research and analysis with project and team leadership, working closely with partners, affiliates, and junior team members. You’ll play a critical role in building Bain’s external brand through thought leadership, while enabling case teams internally with timely competitive insights and reusable IP.
