Job description

Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges?

You’ve come to the right place.

YOUR IMPACT

You will be the owner of the dataset, engaging directly with your clients to gather, validate and assess the quality of data. Throughout our 6-month benchmarking study cycles, you will work with multiple clients simultaneously. You will also work closely with your team to explore hypotheses and contribute insights through your analyses. Our benchmarks are typically repeated annually, giving you the opportunity to build specialist expertise in a specific topic, market or client. You will have your own portfolio of clients to manage each cycle and will interact with our global teams working on the same benchmark. This connection to our wide and diverse team will expose you to different perspectives, innovative ideas, and global trends, further enhancing your professional growth and development. While you will have the opportunity to meet senior stakeholders during the delivery of our findings, the bulk of the project cycle will be carried out remotely and does not require significant time on client site. This will allow you to plan your schedule and manage your work-life balance in a way that suits you. You will work in our Gurugram office with our Finalta Banking team as part of McKinsey’s Financial Institution Group (FIG) Practice. Building on twenty years' experience working with leading banks and insurers, Finalta’s benchmarking work combines deep industry knowledge and proprietary performance data from more than 350 financial institutions in over 50 countries to generate insight into how our clients can achieve superior performance. Our annual benchmarking studies enable clients to objectively assess their performance against peers and quantify opportunities for improvement. This, combined with our case studies, insights, and recommendations, give clients a roadmap to reach world-class performance while reducing the time, cost, and risk of change.

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.
