Who You'll Work With

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 spend about 80% of your time working at a client location as part of a consulting team, helping to solve complex problems in the domains of product development and procurement.

This work includes, but is not limited to: end-to-end margin transformation, product- and organization-level EBITDA improvement, rationalizing product design based on competitive teardown analysis and customer insights and building and implementing sourcing strategies.

You will also help client teams estimate product should-costs using clean sheet costing, enabling the design of low-cost products. Your work may extend to new product development, where you will focus on reducing development time, cost, and improving quality attributes. You may also conduct surveys to identify improvement areas within organizations to support effective and efficient product development, ultimately helping clients build sustainable R&D capabilities. Other focus areas may include design-to-cost, design-to-value, global sourcing, commodity strategy, cost structure optimization, clean-sheet costing, supplier development, negotiation, strategic sourcing, cost‑saving idea identification and leverage, cost reduction, spend analysis, and procurement transformation.

Our Product Development & Procurement (PDP) service line helps organizations transform how they design, develop, source, and deliver products and services. By combining customer insights, advanced analytics, engineering excellence, and procurement expertise, we enable clients to accelerate innovation, unlock sustainable value, and create lasting competitive advantage.

You will work directly with client leaders and front-line operators on topics where implementation issues are important and where driving changes are critical to successful realization of organizational goals. You will be staffed to projects or engagements, working closely with clients. You will work closely and in partnership with clients' senior management and their specialist departments.

You will be based in one of our India offices - Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurugram, Kolkata or Mumbai - as a part of Delivery Assurance Path in the Operations practice.

Delivery Assurance (DA) focuses on value creation - turning strategy into execution. Our work demands a dual toolkit: deep delivery and process expertise, combined with the content and problem‑solving strength of McKinsey consultants. This blend makes DA work unique, demanding, and has a high impact. You will be a part of a rapidly scaling global community of 700+ DA consultants, with presence across all regions of the globe and hubs in 34 countries (and counting). We service clients across the public and private sector and industries.

Our Operations practice sits at the intersection of strategy, technology, and transformation to deliver sustainable and inclusive growth. It assists our clients in solving complex operational challenges.
