Your Growth
You will join our growing and entrepreneurial McKinsey Hydrogen Insights team focused on developing distinctive insights and intelligence tools.
We are our firm’s think tank counseling clients on topics across the entire hydrogen and clean fuels value chain. You will be based in our Munich office in Germany as part of the international McKinsey Hydrogen Insights Solution team (main hubs are Munich and Boston, with colleagues globally).
You’ll work with hydrogen and clean fuels enthusiasts and experts from our broader hydrogen service line and other solution teams in the sustainability space to solve our clients’ most challenging questions on decarbonization.
You will directly engage and advise McKinsey’s hydrogen and sustainability clients on their path toward a successful and sustainable future (e.g., integrated energy players, technology OEMs, developers, investors).
Your Impact
As a Hydrogen Analyst within the McKinsey Hydrogen Insights Solution Team, you will be at the forefront of our work in hydrogen and clean fuels, making a tangible impact by supporting large-scale decarbonization across sectors.
You will play a key role in developing and delivering our proprietary market intelligence assets, covering the entire hydrogen value chain. Your responsibilities include maintaining existing tools, supporting new product development, and contributing to asset innovation in areas like commercial strategy, offtake, capex acceleration, investing, financing, and trading.
You will conduct in-depth analysis of key players and the current hydrogen project landscape, analyze regulatory frameworks, forecast hydrogen and derivative costs, prices, supply, and demand dynamics. You will identify strategic opportunities and enable data-driven recommendations for portfolio and investment decisions in the hydrogen and clean fuels ecosystem.
