Job description

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance / high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have :

• Continuous learning : Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
• A voice that matters : From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
• Global community : With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• World-class benefits : On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.

You will join a client service team to help clients build capabilities in delivery and execution, both during an active project and continuing after our consultants have shared their recommendations.

We will expect you to go the extra mile, delivering solutions that solve immediate problems and drive long-term change. We will rely on your judgment and integrity to ensure our recommendations are effective and long-lasting.

As you collaborate directly with clients, you will help them solve problems, refine strategies, and implement transformations.

By equipping them with the tools and knowledge to continue innovating and improving after we’ve left, you will ensure the impact of our work endures. In doing so, you will uphold McKinsey’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in the industries and communities we serve.

You will receive training on how to better structure ambiguous problems and take action to solve them as well as synthesize clear takeaways from complex information into clear takeaways and recommendations using both qualitative and quantitative methods.

You will work effectively with diverse teams to come up with the best solution and move people and organizations to act.

You will establish trust-based relationships with clients to better-serve their organizations, communicate effectively with all audiences including senior leaders and develop your leadership style, leveraging your own passions, strengths and personal values.
