Description du poste

Your Growth

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.

Your Impact

You will present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.

In this role, you will interview clients, lead client teams, build financial models and work with McKinsey subject experts to develop perspectives and insights for clients. You will also gather and analyze information, formulate and test hypotheses, and develop and communicate recommendations.

You will also receive training and coaching on how to better structure ambiguous problems and take action to solve them. You will learn how to extract clear takeaways from complex information and synthesize them into 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. Throughout this internship, you will establish trust‑based relationships with clients to better serve their organizations, communicate effectively with all audiences including senior leaders in a structured manner, and develop your leadership style, leveraging your own passions, strengths and personal values.

You may be required to travel to your client site, depending on your area of focus or client needs.

You will be based in our Paris office as part of one of our teams, working full‑time for ~12 weeks (usually in the summer).

You will work with a range of experts in the firm, from data scientists to researchers to software and app designers. You will work with a senior colleague from your office or practice who will help you grow and achieve your career goals. Additionally, you will work with a professional development manager who manages staffing to help you choose projects based on your priorities as well as the needs of client service teams. You will also work directly with our clients.

Our business analyst intern program gives a group of undergraduate students and eligible graduate students first‑hand experience with consulting at McKinsey. At the end of your internship, you may receive an offer to join us as a full‑time business analyst upon completion of your degree.
